Trip to the doctor.....well the nurse

We had a doctors appointment....a week and 1/2 ago. We usually go later in the afternoon, but this appointment was right after lunch. When we got there we were very excited, because there were only 2 other people in the waiting room! That was a first and was awesome! After only about 10 minutes of waiting the nurse called us back. We were then told that Dr. Watson was at a birth and wasn't going to be there. (We later found out she had about 15 births that week!!) I was ok with that because I mainly wanted to hear the heartbeat, and had already missed all my kids for the afternoon and did not want to reschedule. I had gained 1, yes just 1 pound! I always thought I would be one of those people that gained too much weight throughout my pregnancy so I was very excited. Then the blood pressure check...perfect. 2 weeks in a row of low weight gain and great BP....woohooo!! I'm anxious to see how long this lasts :) The nurse then got out the doppler to check the heartbeat. It took her a little bit to find it and Chris and I were both getting a little nervous, and then the sweet sound came! I just wish I could listen to that all day, everyday! She then went through all the questions, checked to see if we had any, and that was that!! Chris didn't think we should have to pay since we didn't even see the doctor (hehe), but we paid the doctors house note on the way out (well at least it feels like we do) and made an appointment for.............OCTOBER 14TH!! That's the day we find out if "it" is a boy or a girl. We are so stinkin' excited and can NOT wait to find out! Hopefully our child will not be modest!



I don't have any new pictures, but I was looking at all of my pictures and just had to post this one from our honeymoon. I cant wait for the cold weather to get here and would love to be back in TN right now! :)

Labor Day Fun....Better late than never :)

Apparently Chloe thinks her mission in the backyard is to tree all the squirrels.....

And she also thinks she can chew the tree down to get to the quick little things......

She is as crazy as a dog can get, but she is still sweet and precious. We have been cleaning out the computer room/junk room so the baby will actually have somewhere to sleep :) Since the room is usually shut off, Chloe has really enjoyed being able to lay in there. I think she will be a good "guard dog" for Raisi!

We went to Dallas over Labor Day for a QUICK trip. We left town around 2:30pm on Saturday (since Chris had to work late) and everything was going great....until....we met the State Trooper!! Christopher was going a little fast down the interstate--81 in a 70--and was issued his first speeding ticket. I was so proud :)

We slowly made it the rest of the way and got to Dave & Busters in time to play some games. Dave & Busters is a huge arcade for kids (young and old). The rest of the crew was already there waiting on us....The Balls, Cheshiers, Tim, Sarah, Alex, mom and dad. We had fun spending some moolah and scoring some great stuffed animals for baby Raisi.

Sunday morning we got up and headed to Six Flags. I didn't think it was really THAT hot so I thought I would be good to go. NOT. If you are as hot natured as I am, do not go to Six Flags in the summer while pregnant. Definitely not the smartest thing I've ever done. Also the fact that the only ride I could get on was the carousel and I am a BIG roller coaster fan, so it was a bit boring. Some of the rides were closed down, but everyone had a great time and it was worth it!

Raisi's first trip to 6 Flags

Alex's first ride at 6 Flags. He loved it. Whenever a ride would end he would say "one more"

Chris and Bekah waiting in line...for like an hour!

Alex and I "chillin" waiting on everyone to get off a ride

He made the day a little bit better!

This was how I felt about the day (and I'm not real sure what Chris is doing). My sweet man did go buy me a misting fan from a gift shop which was a great help to beat the heat!!

Alex is just so stinkin' cute! He was loving riding this train with Grammy

After we had all the heat we could take, Chris and I headed to Tim and Sarah's to cool off and went to eat with them at the California Pizza Kitchen...which is Chris' favorite restaurant so far in Dallas. We left town around 9:00pm Sunday night to head back home since he had to be at work bright and early Monday morning. I drove most of the way and....20 troopers later.....we made it home safely!!
