Christmas is around the corner along with the end of a great year & fresh new beginning!

Wow, is it really Christmas time, already? Last year I had a two month old, who barely stayed awake from more than a 20 to 30 minute stretch at a time and slept for hours straight. Christmas last year was a lot more fun for Sean and I then it was for Michael. It was so special because it was our first Christmas as a family. It was a beautiful time and one I will always remember. This year has been fun. Just because I witnessed my son's every move and stage and that was AMAZING. We didn't get to do all the things the Gandy's usually do but next year I think the story will change. We were only able to go camping one time and that was at the end of September and we had to call it quits because it was sooooo cold and rainy. Michael was completely bundled up and miserable. Last year I was looking so forward to 2010 but things didn't work out the way we had hoped. We have big plans for 2011 and we are looking forward to that. When things are fully set it stone I will blog about it but right now it's still in the works. 2011 is definitely bringing us a new gift, one we were not planning on but are excited about and that's a new little baby. We are not going to find out what we are having. This was completely unplanned and what a surprise it was when we found out so I think I am going to leave this baby as a surprise. I have a girl name picked out but we are pulling our hair out for a boy name but we have plenty of time to figure it out. I am happy where our family is at and that we are solid. Life is crazy but it's a ride we have to enjoy. I am looking ahead with my family and excited!

Round 2

Surprise Surprise. The Gandy Family is expecting a new little bundle of joy around July 19, 2011. Right now I am a week shy of 2 months. This was definitely unexpected and NOT planned at all. I was extremely weary at first and my husband held me and said "Hun, we're going to be ok. We are having another BABY!" That alone brought the focus back to babe #2 and I have slowly each day accepted it more and more but I'm still not quite 100%. I am still in utter shock. My focus is solely on Michael and it's hard to think that soon there will be 2 of them. When I was pregnant was Michael. That's all I could think about everyday was the miracle growing inside me. I took every step I could to take care of myself for my baby's sake. So far I have been taking my prenatels but haven't been what some would call dedicated to this pregnancy. I am not drinking my water like I should but am trying to jump on that bandwagon. Hopefully soon, my baby brain will sink in, and I will become super excited, but for now I am happy and to be honest scared but like my dad said all we can do is take it one day at a time, so for now, that's what I am going to do.
