names names names.

addison lynn pomeroy.

Who would have thought that in a million years I would be having another girl... But lucky for me I love baby girls!!!

after the great debate yesterday ( I have to know what to call her inside of me) haha we finally decided on Addison with the help of her big sister Taylor. This is great and awesome as we wanted a very pretty name and we got one.... addison was one of the names we had picked out for tay and after talking to my aunt yesterday she said it was one of the few names that my own mom had picked out for me.... I had to continue the tradition....

someone asked me if I cared if there was already an addison in my side of the family and the answer is no... I would name my child whatever I wanted even if it was the name of my best friends child... the fact is people this is our daughter we will name her what we want and if you dont like it then thats fine.

anyways Lynn is nicks Mothers middle name, and as you all know Taylor Ann has my Mum's middle name so we decided to keep the tradition going... :) who knows if we decide to have a third there is always the option of susan which was my mothers middle name... haha NOT

So little addy is jumping around in her mommies tummy ready for something else to eat. I cant wait till she makes her debut then little addison lynn can be shared with everyone that cares about her so dearly!!!

Peace out!

Thankful

Yesterday as a lot of you know was very stressful... I started bleeding around 12 30 pm yesterday and of course the first thought that pops into your mind is a miscarriage... I was scared to the point that I didnt even want to tell my husband, for it it was a miscarriage there wasnt much anyone could do about it.

well things fell into place and I was scheduled an appointment to have an ultra sound done just so they could check the baby.... well by this time I had surely "freaked" out my next door neighbor although she was the calm one in the situation... ( thanks Emily!!)
I had texted my other friend Ericka Stultz who sprung into action to make sure I was taken care of immediatly, even though she is going through a lot right now... and how can I forget the Tande's one call was all it took to find Tay somewhere to go play for a bit while mommy and daddy went to check on her little sibling.

When Ericka and I arrived at the high risk ob i was shaking... out of fear or anxiety or maybe both im not sure... once I got into the ultra sound room... I was almost in tears and could barely get out the words "is my baby ok?" before she turned on the volume so I could hear the heartbeat... beating at 150 beats per min I was estactic... relief flooded through me and my body finally relaxed to the point where the exhaustion starting setting in.

But I knew that there was still one question to be answered what was causing the bleeding and how do we get it to stop... That would not be answered until later, instead by this point Nick had arrived and we were able to enjoy our little bundle of joy on the monitor and relax...

Then the moment had come.... she asked if we wanted to know what we were having??? I said of course and nick let out a over excited yes... IT IS A GIRL.... I am just relieved that she is healthy and growing on time. :)

So now im off to go sort through all of taylors clothes from preemie to 12 months.... Thanks for the prayers and thank you friends for stepping in at just the right time... I am truly fortunate to have great friends. :)

Teach me to number my days...

Funny how a lot of thinking goes into Nick leaving in september... I feel like im the one loosing it when no one else understands or they just refuse to talk about it... Luckily I have a great friend in Texas whose husband was gone a year and she understands everything... has made me realize that it will be hard but eventually I will get into my own routine and get over that initial shock of him leaving... its hard for me to grasp it really is.... I know he is leaving I know this, but what I cant wrap my mind around is the length of time he will be gone...

Good thing I have family and friends to get me through it, and I hope they understand when all I need is to cry... not to talk or go out and do something... Nick and I had a conversation this morning that went like this,

Me- Im scared.
Nick- me too.
Me- Really?
Nick- Yes.

then the tears started.

We will trust every day that God will provide and has a plan.. he will keep us all safe even baby # 2 who is not here yet.

I love you Nick and you are my HERO.

Update

After what was suppose to be a relaxing afternoon turned into a rather stressful and regretful one...

first of all I ended up at the OB office...

Contractions since sunday, equal not good.... I am dilated to one. I also have been randomly getting very dizzy and nauseous usually right before I need to eat... the diagnosis after some tests, gestational diabetes.

So this is what I asked as we are very scared and anxious. Please pray that the dr's will have wisdom and that I listen to the advice and not do to much, like work...:(

we are certainly praying that this baby will stay in as long as needed to survive outside of the womb!

I am the Rock...

Im listening to this song right now, that is about a husband/father leaving for deployment and the sacrifices that he makes....

It is reminding that I need to stand beside Nick and be proud of him... he is making a sacrifice, he is leaving for a year... missing two anniversaries, two birthdays, the birth of his second child, a thanksgiving, a christmas, a valentines day, an easter, a fourth of july, and most importantly all of the milestones that our second child will go through in a year.... :(

I also have to be reminded that this is military life, and the best thing that I can do for Taylor and baby 2 is be strong... its okay for me to cry but to also let them know what their daddy is doing... today taylor saw me cry, and when I told her why she shook her head no and said da da.... this is going to be one tough year... but I will get through it and so will nick!

so here is to trusting God and here is to my husband who is the greatest father in the world and the greatest husband anyone could ever ask for!

The beginning... or the end?

Today we are headed to Casa Grande to take Morgan to her new home, 3 acres for her to run around and play with her new siblings... for those of you who do not know this is very hard for us. We took her in to give her a good home, and now sadly as our lives are moving faster than we are we had to relocate her to a new and better home... we will miss her dearly.

Simba is next, however this is extremely hard for me and we will probably wait till the last minute... He was our first "kid" if you will call it that? He always knows when to cuddle and when to not cuddle, he is the best cat anyone could really ever ask for! :)

We are keeping adelaide, as this was my parents dog... Taylor leaves addy alone and hopefully this next baby will to. :)

7 weeks, 7 very short weeks thats all that is left, it is so hard to not count down... Im gonna miss him so much. :(

Slow down

I usually never notice when something is a God thing... but this afternoon I definetly experienced a God moment! I was driving home from work, really irritated with interns, my tooth was hurting, my feet hurt, I was hungry and I really just wanted to get to my family and relax....

I always have Klove on while im driving, nick gets annoyed at this... but if you have not ever listened to the radio station Klove it is a very encouraging radio station! I found it after my dad passed away, when I really needed encouragement... and now whenever I am having a bad day I turn it on and magically I either 1) find myself singing along and praising God or 2) turning it down to background music and praying to God...

This afternoon I really needed some encouragement... after mums short visit and really just realizing how much I actually do miss her ( she is the greatest at making me look at both sides of things...) How much I really wish I could be closer to my brother, and most of all the horrid day at work... ( realizing that I will always have bad days its how I look at them that will make them good...) a song came on the radio that I had never heard before... the song is Blink by Revive...

go look up the song now...

anyhow there is a part of the song that caught my attention....

Slow down slow down before the day becomes our yesterday
slow down slow down before you turn around and its to late.

and I was reminded to slow down, this life is already moving to fast why do I need to make it go faster??

I had been counting down the weeks till my husband leaves for Korea and I realized on the drive home to the point I was in tears... that by counting down I am rushing what is already going to come. So why not just enjoy the time and not count it???

Also it made me physically slow down the car... just in time to notice that the cars in front of me had stopped.... I love our God He is truly awesome!

I also realized today that parents like to rush their kids into doing things... we rush to teach them how to sit up, to teach them how to crawl, to walk, to run... to do all of these things and then we say to ourselves I wish they didnt crawl or walk.... why not cherish time which is why i have decided that taylor will walk when she is ready... no need to rush it. I went to check out her school that she will be attending starting monday... they had the toddlers writing with crayons... helping them to write their alphabet... im not so sure I want my daughter rushed into things... but she is very independent so she will make sure they know that she is not ready....


So my point through this is to stop, slow down and enjoy life... dont blink you just might miss something!
