One Year Ago...

One year ago today Jason and I officially found out from the doctor that we were pregnant. We had 6 positive home pregnancy tests before the doctor's confirmation so we had a pretty good idea, but we were so relieved once we heard it from the doctor. On March 12, 2008 Jason and I went to the doctor at 8:00 am to have my blood drawn. We were told I would get a phone call about 1:00 pm with the results of the blood test. Jason had to go to work and I had to student teach so I left my cell phone in the car. After school, I rushed home to meet Jason so we could listen to the voice mail together. We stood in the kitchen (in front of the dishwasher) and listened to the voice mail on speaker phone. The nurse said, "Your HCG level needs to be over 25 and your level is 250. Congratulations Kelly, you are pregnant." Jason and I hugged, kissed, cried, and fell in love with our little peanut.

Today Lexi and I were listening to the "Alexi" playlist on my IPod. Lexi and I danced around the living room and kitchen and when I reached the dishwasher spot with Lexi in my arms I remembered the date and the moment Jason and I shared together in the exact spot one year ago. I stopped and told Lexi the story, kissed her non stop, and just held her close.

I will never forget the moment Jason and I shared when we officially found out we were going to be parents. It is everything and so much more than I ever imagined. Alexi is a gift from God and I am so thankful He chose us to be her parents.

kindergarten boxcar parade

Well, everyone was healthy until Lexi got the flu and I got pneumonia.  Needless to say, it's been a rough week...BUT, we are better again and for the most part back to normal.  Jason, Lexi and I all worked together on this and we think it turned out great!  All the boxcars were unique and wonderful!  The parade was wonderful...it should have been televised!!

daddy/daughter dance

I have some catching up to do on the blog, but I wanted to write tonight while my feelings and emotions are raw... About a month ago we received an email about the daddy/daughter dance tonight.  Jason attached the flyer and forwarded it to me saying, "I have to work."  I frowned and moved on.  I didn't think much about it until the other day.  I had an "a-ha" moment and asked Jason if we could ask his dad so Lexi wouldn't miss out on the ball.  Jason called Kevin the next day and I received a text from Jason right after saying, "My dad would be happy to take Lexi."  I was delighted and Lexi was on cloud 9 when I told her Paw Paw wanted to take her to the ball (side note...we didn't tell Lexi about the ball because we didn't think she was going to be able to attend since Jason was out of town). The next day Jason left work early and met us at the mall for a little ball dress shopping.  Lexi danced around the dressing room in about 8 diff...
