>The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck<

The first prenatal!
Wasn't I just here, in this very room, a few months ago?!?
The kids were super excited to get to see Ms Gayle (my midwife) again - they LOVE helping her check the baby. Kaylin got to help find the baby's heartbeat and Isabella got to help measure my ever growing belly.

Avianna Marie Black - Amanda's birth went well, but I missed the baby being born by just a few minutes! Glad for Amanda though that she was going fast enough for me to miss it ; )

We made a deal with Isabella that if she worked very hard on telling us when she needed to go to the potty and being obedient to mommy and daddy that she would get to go to the pet store and pick out her very own fishy just like Kaylin got to. She chose this pretty one as the keeper (well... actually she chose a different one at first, but Auntie Heather and I swayed her a little since the first choice was a little nasty looking!).


The two fishies got to get a new home as well! A new bowl that has a divider in the middle, so they can share it. Since betta fish fight, there is a divider in the middle - you can slide out a piece that keeps them from seeing one another and soon as you do, they flare their gills and try to attack each other! It's kind of neat to see! But the whole time they can't see each other, they sit sadly close to the divider like they miss one another terribly. It's a love hate relationship ; )
