One year later ......
Oh where to start. Life has been a crazy whirlwind with lots of good and lots of unexpected happening to our little family.
Not quite sure why I had lost my mojo to write here for a while, cause I do need writing so desperately for my sanity! ( guess I lost that for a while, too ;))
First things first! we had a baby. Yes, and sometimes I am still in disbelief that this really happened. And I am so grateful for my sweet little surprise baby Fiona Mae, snoozing right beside me at this very moment.
Remember my last real post about hurricane Isaac? Well, thankfully we weren't harmed in any way by it.Lots of rain of course, a couple extra days of no school, we never even lost power ( don't get me wrong, I am NOT complaining). Instead we enjoyed a little extra family time ;)
Before we knew it things were going normal pace again, kids back in school, normal business around here, me getting ready to hit the books hard to go back to work this summer. But something felt off. I did not feel right and seriously thought I might be sick, like real sick. Anyway, I was up for my check up anyway so I scheduled an appointment with my ob/gyn and I knew they would ask me about a prego test. So one fine late September Sunday morning ( I will never forget it was the weekend of the balloon festival around here) I took a test.Not thinking in a million years it would be positive, I left it on the bathroom counter not even looking at it and kinda forgetting about it. Fast forward an hour later or so: total disbelief ! My little world just got rocked to it's core. POSITIVE. It was still super early in the morning, Lu was up early as usual, so I took him outside to ride his bike, sort my thoughts and watch the sun rise ! While out there I saw two hot air balloons showing up on the horizon and then a little further away and a little lower another whee little one showing up! Always looking for a sign, I could not help myself but break down crying with the first rays of sunlight hitting my face.

| this is the pic i posted on insta, the day i found out we were expecting. can you see the tiny balloons??? |
As I broke the news to Ricky, he needed a moment, too. But the loving man and daddy he is, he caught his emotions quickly( after a little walk alone,( this hit him off guard, he did not even know I was taking a test) he wrapped his arms around me and reassured me that things would be alright). Maybe a bit different from our plans, but alright!
