What to wear on...Leap Year Day!

Apparently on {Leap Year Day} which happens every 4 years. You are to wear your cloths inside-out , backwards, and different color socks. At least that is what Sutton's school is doing! Sutton picked out her clothes last night... which she was so excited about!!! Most of the time I veto what she picks out! So here is a picture of what she would look like everyday, if she could! Love this girl! ONE day she will hate this picture.

Baby Schmidt 2.0 {Details}

So about the big announcement! I wanted a fun way to tell family, so I took 2 pictures from our Christmas photo shoot {thanks to Angie } I had a few good one to choose from. I picked one of Brian and Sutton and the one of me... well I had to photoshop Sutton and Brian out of the picture then I just added the numbers to the picture in photoshop and that got the message across. :)

On to the details-

I told Brian the same way I told him with Sutton, which was very few words I handed the test with my mouth wide open. Although this time I bought the digital kind, and when the word "pregnant" popped up, the emotions hit me all over again...the shock, excitement, etc...When he saw the test. I swear it was the same face as the one I gave with Sutton. He was confused and was just like, "What? Is this yours? Is this mine?" And then he just kept saying "wow" over and over. It was just SO special...I never imagined this day would come...AGAIN! We are certainly blessed.

So, what does this mean on the adoption front? At this time, we will not be adopting. Something we discovered when searching for an agency was that the majority of the agencies we talked to do not allow you to adopt while you are pregnant, understandably.

This is Baby Schmidt 2.0 at about 8.5 weeks...such a cute little blob with a nice strong heartbeat! I am 12 weeks pregnant now. My due date is 13th of September! Next Appointment is March 6th, Brian's birthday.

I just want to say that we are blown away at this miracle of life, and humbled that the Lord has blessed us again. I have struggled with a lot of guilt in getting to experience this a second time when I know so many waiting for their first time. If that is you, please know that I am praying and believing with you!

Well I need to take a nap get some stuff done before my lunch break is over, but I just wanted to drop in real quick to say hi. I promise I will back soon with more details about the gender relieving party... Yes! We are finding out the gender this time! :)

Home Improvements!

Before and after pictures of our new Island painted and stainless cabinet knobs. To me, it all looks so much better in person!

Yee Haw!

Today is the first day of Rodeo for 2012! Sutton is dressed to impress. This morning we stopped for Donuts... What more can a girl ask for: Donuts, bandanna and boots! Yee Haw! We are looking forward to some Rodeo fun!

Cycling-N-Style!

Sutton could not leave the house without all {that} on! Backpack with her babies in stow & sunglasses! It was such a pretty day we took a stroll to the park- visited the turtles, played on the slide, and swings. Sutton showed us how she can swing herself!!! Her Daddy has been teaching her!

Valentines day!

We could not resist the "heart shaped" Chicken biscuits from Chick-fil-a to start the day off! Sutton helped make these fun glow sticks that say {You make my Heart Glow} to hand out to he friends at school.
