Last picture of the night... now to go home to our little princess (Keegan) escaped from her doggy gate, set of the house alarm, and pee all over our bedroom floor... and still needing to pack to leave to Hawaii at 6:00 AM...

All I can say, I am so exicted to be Mrs. Wratten, and to be married to the love of my life!!

Our crazy babies

Life would not be the same with out Louie and Keegan, they are such characters. Everyday they do something goofy that Matt and I will just laugh about. While we were gone on our honeymoon, my awesome mom and dad took care of them. Here is my mom's comment "They made a bigger mess of my house than Lucas and Kyle (Kelli's 2 year old and 9 month old sons)."

In Feb. I had a tradeshow I went to, at one of the booths they were giving away these little toy beetle cars, that wind up. I decided I would see if the dogs would chase it, and this is what I got.

Keegan is one clever girl. Lately we have been letting the babies roam around the kitchen while we are away rather their crate. On our wedding night we got a call from our alarm company saying our alarm was going off, but all windows and doors are locked... you guess it the dogs set it off, because they escaped. The other day I come home and open the door and Keegan ran up to me while Louie was behind the gate, I couldn't figure out how she was out by Louie was not. We now know why.

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...
