A trip to JoAnn’s
First, Jacob adorned himself with washi tape while I worked on my calendar. Then we headed to JoAnn’s where he fell in love with some “construction site” fleece and we decided to make him a blanket.
He loves it!
My buddy on Toy Story Midway Mania
It was our first time on this ride and it was a blast to see Jacob shooting away at the virtual carnival games. 🙂

Gender Reveal
The moment we’ve all been waiting for…
Josh and I went to the doctor today for an ultrasound, and got the news we have been desiring for all these 16 weeks.
“Do you want to know the  gender?” the technician asked. For some weird reason, I paused and looked at Josh (ummm of course I want to know!). He said, firmly: “YES.”
I had been teasing him that his reaction to this one had to be as excited as his reaction to finding out that Jacob was a boy. That day, after months of saying that “he didn’t care, so long as the baby was healthy,” he jumped from his chair with a loud “yesss!” But this time…I mean, we just didn’t really care. I had my reasons for wanting either a boy or a girl, (The girl reasons were mainly about shopping) and really, honestly and truly, we just want a healthy baby.
For the record, Jacob said he wants “a boy baby like a Jacob.”
In case you want to figure this out/guess on your own right now:
(Please ignore the missing letter above…I was trying to keep the paper away from Jacob while writing it).
DRUMROLL PLEASE

2015
It’s a new year, and I can’t believe it. The holidays were a blur, and I still have so much to do. We have much planned for the new year, but the plans are all centered around one event. I’m happy to announce that we are expecting! Our rainbow baby will arrive sometime in June. I have much to say…and wasn’t I blogging about my pregnancy with Jacob much earlier than 16 weeks? But this is a very different pregnancy. After losing a baby at 10 weeks, I’m still not feeling absolutely confident that this will happen. There isn’t a “safe point” for me, not really. So as I try to wrap my head around it, I’ll also try to start writing about it. We already love baby O2; but our excitement is tempered with worry and a feeling of self-preservation.
For now, we wait. And hope.
Our new year
Our new year has been celebrated, and I am off to bed. It was lovely. We made pizza and watched movies. After Jacob went to bed, josh and I watched the ball drop on the live feed (so it was 9:00 here) and then watched some Netflix. Lovely.
I have more to say and I want to summarize our wonderful year, but for now I’m just too tired.
I wish you all the happiest of New Years. The best is yet to come.
