It's Great To Be Eight!

It's HARD to believe that just a little over a month ago this little girl turned EIGHT!

Seriously! I have an 8-yr-old. I mean I am 30 (gasp) now, so I suppose it's not too surprising. But really, I remember when she was born. I remember leaving work on Friday afternoon still pregnant. Going to church on Sunday (her due date) and being completely miserable and having person after person ask me when I was going to have that baby! It was SO annoying! I had no idea that in the wee hours of the next morning I would go into labor and would be calling my boss to tell her that I wouldn't be coming into work that day. After just 4.5 hours of labor , "all natural"-style, this little cutie was be born.

She has been such a joy and such a challenge in my life! This little girl made me a mother and has endured my many mistakes as a first-time parent and STILL loves me unconditionaly! She is a needed member of our family and she is an amazing big sister. She constently makes me proud to be a mom.

I was never so proud as I was one this most special of days

Hello, Lisa!

Welcome to the second trimester! This week's big developments: Your baby can now squint, frown, grimace, pee, and possibly suck his thumb. Thanks to brain impulses, his facial muscles are getting a workout as his tiny features form one expression after another. His kidneys are producing urine, which he releases into the amniotic fluid around him -- a process he'll keep up until birth. He can grasp, too, and if you're having an ultrasound now, you may even catch him sucking his thumb. In other news: Your baby's stretching out. From head to bottom, he measures 3 1/2 inches -- about the size of a lemon -- and he weighs 1 1/2 ounces.

YES! I'm having a baby and it can now PEE! lol
