SO, the big news is we are 10 weeks pregnant with BABY #2!! Really super crazy. We were very surprised and shocked. We have gotten a lot of mixed emotions from a lot of people, some are very excited, and some people just kind of looked at us, almost like they weren't very happy for us, just kinda like what are you thinking? Well the truth is, we weren't. We didn't exactly plan it, but God works all things out to the good of His purpose and I have no doubt that God has special plans for this little one. I also have some mixed emotions. First thought was for Ellie, worried for her, excited for her. She won't really know what it is like to be the only child. Seeing her with other little ones though gets me excited and sets me at ease because she just smiles at them and wants to suck their faces and touch their hair, super gentle and super sweet! I also wanted a little bit more time with just her. But, I am excited about this little one. Already talking about making it a point to be super excited as he/she goes through each of her/his firsts. Baby is due January 30, Ellie's birthday is January 6. CRAZY! But it happens quite often.
Now, if I could just get over this morning sickness.....ick!

Huge Disappointments but Some Surprises
Okay, it's been a while.
The teams that made it to the Semifinals - Uruguay will play the Netherlands, and Germany will play Spain. Ultimately I am hoping for Netherlands, ultimately, and then Spain. However, Germany, I think, will be the one to beat, and if I were betting, I would say they will probably win the cup.
Argentina lost to Germany in probably the MOST disappointing game of the cup, 4-0. It was embarrassing. I didn't even feel bad for them - they just sucked hard core. Germany was able to out maneuver them completely. Messi was not even a threat, almost non-existent on the field. I was sad because I was impressed with him highly in the beginning.
Netherlands beat Brazil, which was awesome! They did it with style too. The goals by Schneider were incredibly awesome!! I feel bad that one of his goals was credited as an own goal. Yes that defender made a bad move and may have even touched it, but that shot was awesome and was going in regardless.
Ghana beat United States but then had a TERRIBLE loss to Uruguay. They scored a goal in seriously the very last second, and one of the Uruguayan players - Suarez, I believe, did the most cowardly thing ever and blocked the goal with his hand. So no goal. He was given a red card and Ghana was awarded a PK, which he missed. So they ended up going into PKs, which they lost 5-3. SO SAD. That was a tremendous upset.
Awesome game however was between Paraguay and Spain. At the last few moments of the game - Paraguay got a PK, which the keeper stopped amazingly. THEN the counter attack by Spain led to them getting a PK, which they scored but was called back because a Spaniard crossed the line before the kick was taken. So the kick was retaken, and it was blocked by the keeper and rebounded out, and then shot again, and the keeper blocked it again! DRAMA!! Spain did eventually get a goal in to win the game though.
