A little news!!

Today was an interesting day for the Allen family!! A few weeks ago I took a home pregnancy test and to my amazement it was positive!! We are very excited, but had to wait until today to go to doctors office and have it officially confirmed.
Friday July 11th, I took the home pregnancy test. Jason was gone that week with the youth group students and was coming home that night. I took the test that afternoon, and when he got home Isabella walked up to him and gave him "our present." Understandably he was quite amazed, and very excited!!
If you ask Isabella what is her mommy's tummy, her answer is always "da baby!" And anytime that you ask her, no matter how you word it, if it is a baby brother or sister she ALWAYS says sister! We shall see!!
The baby's official due date is March 17, 2009!! A St. Patty's day baby--watch this one will have my red hair!!
We would really appreciate your prayers during this exciting time!!

1st Play date

Right now Isabella is at a friends house playing, and I am home. That might not seem like anything very big to most of you, but this is her very first play date away from home!! She is with Emma Rae and her Mommy at Emma Rae's grandma's house!! I thought for sure that she would not go (she has been very attached to me lately), but she got into Emma Rae's car seat and went with Miss Megan to play!
If you ask her if she is a baby, she will say "no", but if you ask if she is Mommy's baby she will say "yes." She is growing up so quickly, sometimes I wish that I could slow it down, just a little!!
