Disney World

Matt had a tradeshow in March down in Orlando, FL. So I flew out on Friday afternoon and we took a long weekend at Disney World. It was both our first times, and we had quite a bit of fun. Below are a few pictures.

We are officially the WRATTENS!!

Matt and I have officially been married for 3 weeks!! The morning after our wedding (yes we had to wake up at 6:00 AM... grrr), we flew out to Maui, Hawaii for a week long honeymoon. It was ABSOLUTELY gorgeous, and I cant wait to go back next year. We had a blast, we took the road to Hana (aka Divorce Highway, it is said maried couples go there happily married and come back divorced... that being said I told Matt we are going to hire a tour guide company take us), it was sooo pretty, we stopped to speak with local people who make gorgeous pearl, coral, and shell necklaces. We ate fresh coconut and papaya, saw amazing waterfalls, and a black sand beach.

I can definitely say I LOVE MARRIED LIFE!! It is funny how things change, and I love my little family (can not forget about our babies Louie V. and Keegan Marie)

Wedding Planning

So lots has changed in me and Matthew's life since my last depressing post. We decided to push up the wedding... ummm a few months. In officially 25 days I will be Mrs. Wratten!! YAY I can not wait... and then a nice relaxing week long honeymoon in Hawaii will be a great finishing touch!! Things are good in the Wratten house... Louie and Keegan are happier than ever!!

My sister Kelli is in town visiting with her two little boys. Lucas is my little boy, he si soo darn cute (dont get me wrong Kyle is just as cute, me and Lucas just have a special connection, pirates). He absolutely loves Louie and keeps telling Kelli how he loves him and wants to bring him home (over my dead body), Keegan is not his favorite, as she has attempts and bits him when he comes near. Its great to see Matt with her 8 month old Kyle, I know he will be an AWESOME dad when our time comes again :).

I will try to post more later as the wedding comes up, I am just no good at this blogging thing.

Baby Wratten Update

Sunday morning around 6AM, I started experiencing pretty crazy cramps, but thought nothing of it because I was going into my 12th week and my uterus needs to start stretching for my baby to grow. About 30 minutes later, I thought I was peeing the bed, I jumped up and ran to the bathroom to see blood all over the floor. I screamed for Matt to come assist as I was bleeding horribly. I was going crazy, I am surprised Matt didnt slap me in the face to bring me back to reality. A few minutes later Matt found baby Wratten on the floor. By the looks of it, it lived to about 9 weeks and self terminated due to genetics and my body just rejected it at 11 1/2 weeks.

As you can guess, I had a miscarriage. It is very hard on me, but I am getting better as the week goes on. The worst part is that we saw our baby. The Dr. in the ER told me that 1 in 3 women actually have a miscarriage, and my OB told me that 1 in 5 women have a miscarriage. I read that after my 8th week that I have a 1% change of miscarrying my bundle of joy and never thought it would happen to me, but it did.

Everything happens for a reason, and I would rather it happen now then later, or have it grow a couple more weeks then have to deliver a stillborn.

We decided we are going to push the wedding up now, and actually get married in May or June. Have fun as a married couple for a couple of months, then try again and start our family!! I am excited to to get married finally become Mrs. Wratten and start our family!! More wedding details to come!!

Keegan loves to blog with mommy

My babies are soo cute, although I know once baby #3 comes along there is going to be lots of jealousy, and potenital biting (via our princess Keegan). I thought I would share a few pictures of Louie and Keegan tonight, Keegan always has to be next to me and crawling on me while I look through various blogs, and Louie loves to "sit pretty", he will sit straight up and look around or watch tv, he is so goofy!
On a brighter note, I felt my little baby for the 1st time on Monday night at 1:00 AM, it is soo exciting knowing that my body is helping to create such a precious little package. I can not wait for my next ultra sound in 2 weeks... I know I need to still scan our other ones, right now its name is Chicken Nugget because that is what it looks like, haha...

2008 in a Nutshell

So I still have pretty bad morning sickness... but I am hoping in about a month it will start going way cause I dont know if I can handle it anymore... haha.

So I thought I would post some pictures of the family in 2008, since I finally downloaded all my pictures from my camera, I lost my sony duo stick adapter thing so I wasnt able to download them through out the whole year, thankfully my friend had one while she was over here the other day so I finally uploaded them :)!!

Me and Matty at Matts old house (there must have been a party that night, cause my make up is all crazy)

My bad-ass nephew Lucas (hes my little pirate)

Date night at the Bellagio

My soon to be daddy came to visit from England

While he was here be bought an Austrailian/Cowboy hat on 4th of July

We got the 1st member out our family, Louie

We thought it would be fun to dye my hair blonde, 2 days of the salon and $700 later this is what i got... not a good idea (sorry hard to see in the picture)

We took Louie hiking up Mt Charleston... yes I held him 99.9% of the way cause he could do the hike


He sure was exhausted from the hike though :)

Then came his little sister, Keegan

Yes I am an evil mommy and dress them up... but they are so cute (my obsession)

Matts obsession, his Audi S5 and my BMW330 ci

Grandma came to meet Keegan for the 1st time so we had to put on her Sunday best

My bestest friend ever Whitney got married

The ever changing hair of Krissy

At the Kings of Leon concert, I was devistated we could not stay the whole time cause I could hardly breathe I was so sick

My babies are the most precious things in the whole entire world, they are asleep and in bed by 9:00 everynight, how cute right....

We got engaged!

I went to New York for the first time...ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT, cant wait to go back with Matt one day (after the baby of course)

So it has taken me over an hour to figure this stupid program out o upload pictures so more pictures are to come another night, it is 9:30 and past my bed time!! Baby need some sleep!

Baby Wratten

So its a joke in my family, that when you get 2 dogs you become pregnant.... well ITS TRUE!! I am pleased to annouce that Matt and I are expecting!! We are only 7 weeks, and I know your not suppose to say anything until after the 1st trimester, but Matt already blew that one!! We are definitely excited, and when I figure out to take a picture and add it I will show everyone our babys 1st picture! The downside.... I am so sick, I feel like I am going to die!! I do not understand these ladies who get sick everytime yet they have 4 kids... I guess I will know once my bundle of joy arrives!! We (me and my mommy, haha) are hoping of a girl, and of course Matt wants a boy! I have a feeling I will be getting my way on this one!! I will have to update my blog more often now, and maybe actually learn how to use this thing!!

Oh yeah the Dr. I was going to (who was awesome by the way) dropped the bomb on me today that it will cost an additional $5K just to continue going to her... WTF.... needless to say we will not being paying an extra $5K on top of what the insurance doesnt cover just to have her delivery the baby (and have access to her cell phone).... we werent convinced that those perks were worth it!!
