April recap

April....April, April, April.  What a whirlwind of a month!  In April we celebrated Carrie's birthday with her parents at her house.  We love seeing Denny and Anita in H-town.  Then Justin, Deacon and I got ready for our week long vacation at Granny and Papa's condo in Galveston.  However, leading up to the vacation I started feeling kind of bad.  I was not able to stay up past 7:30 every evening and I was constantly waking up in the middle of the night.  What is wrong with me!?  On Good Friday I woke up, yet again, at 4:00 am and laid in bed wondering why I wasn't myself lately.  Then, out of the blue, I thought "could i possibly be pregnant?!"  No, that's crazy!  Hello - I had JUST met with Dr. Dunn and he told me that a naturally pregnancy wasn't possible - remember my March post?.  So I laid there trying to decide if I should get up for the day, since I knew I wouldn't be going back to sleep or if I should take a pregnancy test (ha, silly idea, right?), or if I should try to get back to sleep.  Curiosity got the best of me and I got up to go to the bathroom and decided to test - why not - what would it hurt?  Within seconds the test was showing postive and I was having a mini freak out session all alone in the bathroom with no one to talk to.  I mean, who wants to be woken up at 4 am anyway?!  I paced around our house for 4 hours waiting to tell Justin this massive news.  I finally woke him up and let him in on this amazing little miracle discovery.  Then we both paced around in shock and our carpet paid the price.  We decided to tell our immediate family for now. 

The next day we packed up and spent the week in Galveston.  We went to the train museum, the Strand, the beach a few times, Shrimp and Stuff like 20 times, and to the Rainforest Cafe.  Fortunately we hung out at the condo a lot, since I was still feeling kind of tired all the time and starting to get morning sickness (AKA:  All day sickness).  It was a great week away as a family.  I loved seeing Deacon play on the beach, discover all the fun things at the train museum and I especially loved seeing him have coffee with Granny in the mornings.

And to add to an already amazing month, Deacon was potty trained this month.  It took him about 3 days to get it down but now he is a pro!  Great job Deacon, mama is sooooo proud of you.

So as I was saying...April.....April, April, April - what a month!
