Mikaela enjoys playing with mat measuring tape and today she remembered Matt had measured her a while back and wanted to get measured again.  Here is Matt measuring Mikaela on the back of the office door.

Another delay post:

I found out this morning that I am pregnant!!!!  I went to work, stopped by Target in between jobs to pick up another pregnancy test because I am anal and have to double check everything.  Finished teaching for the day came home took the test and jumped in the shower before heading to dinner with Matt.  When I got out I got another test that read "PREGNANT"!!   I then proceeded to get dressed and put on a shirt that I use to wear when I was pregnant with Mikaela that Matt loved on me.  I walked into the den and he took one glance at the shirt and told me "you can't wear that shirt unless you are pregnant", I smiled, he smiled and said "are you pregnant?" and of course my response was  "YES"  It was a wonderful moment!

There was a delay on this post because we were waiting to announce that we were expecting baby #2.  Here is the first ultra sound of our little peanut, due December 3rd.

Today I announced on Facebook that I am pregnant.  This is what it read:

The Stevens Family is GROWING!!! Mikaela is going to be a BIG SISTER!  The newest little addition to our family of 3 is due to arrive December 3rd. 

It was such an amazing feeling to read everyones comments: Congrats, we are so happy for you all, Mikaela will make a great big sister, how exciting, and so on. 

It was a great way to announce our BIG NEWS!  I also sent out an email to family, friends, SnB Aunties, and studio moms that don't have Facebook and the emails that have come in have also been super sweet and encouraging.

Not that great of a picture, but when I got home from work tonight the way the moon was peaking through the trees out our back sliding glass door was really neat.

I came home from work this Monday, to my wonderful hubby cooking dinner.  He was BBQing steak and corn on the cob, as well as putting garlic bread on the grill and there were steamed veggies inside.  I was such a fabulous treat to come home to this.  THANKS MATT!!  Love you lots.  Here was the after math in the kitchen of the yummy dinner.
