My growing heart

Chris and I went to the doctor yesterday. It was a crazy appointment. (I was bad and I forgot my camera) After about 20 minutes of sitting in a waiting room full of people we headed on back. I climbed on up the dreaded scale.....and woohoooo.....I had gained no weight!! Since I had gained 6 lbs. last time, this was very exciting!! Next was the BP...it was perfect. Then the moment we had been waiting on.....we got to hear the heartbeat. She found it without any problem and it was beating strong and fast. It was such a great feeling to know that he/she is growing good and that he's really still in there =) I'm pretty sure my heart grew a little larger after hearing that!!!


Dr. Watson came in and after about 3 minutes, the lights went out. Apparently something had blown and a good portion of town was out. I had to have my blood drawn so the lady sat me by a window so she could see to do it by sunlight. That was no problem until she realized she had picked up the wrong tubes (since it was dark and she couldn't see the colors) and took an extra tube or so of blood. Oh well, at least I know I have plenty. Then the best part of all............their computers were down so they couldn't take our money!! Woohoooo!!! I was very excited about that! :) When we left the waiting room was still packed and we were glad we were heading out and not heading in!


Then things kept getting better. Our good friends Rebekah and Cricket Curl were in labor! Poor Bekah labored all day yesterday and this morning. But look at her beautiful prize:

7lbs.

19.5".

She is just precious and everyone is doing great.

Being at the hospital with them made both Chris and I VERY ready for it to be our turn. Even though we have quite a few months to go, it made it seem a little bit closer. Just the excitement of having all the friends and family around waiting to get a peek at the baby was great. I could just picture all of our crazy bunch up there making fools of themselves and entertaining everyone at the hospital. Only 6.5 months to go!! =)

I know...I'm already a slacker

I know I have already been a "bad-blogger". Apparently we are as boring as I thought we were and I have got to get used to carrying my camera around with me all the time.

We did go to a wedding last Saturday night for Katey. Her grandparents have lived down the street...next door to my parents....since forever. It was a really nice wedding and the pianist was awesome....it was mom :) She had been practicing for weeks and she did a great job.

Mom and Cecil. He sang. She played.

Mom and the G-maw

Me and my handsome date. If you look real close, you can see my lovely blue jeans I sported to the wedding. Definitely not my first pick, but when nothing else in the closet fits, I just had to make it work. Chris was very happy to wear his too so I wouldn't be all alone :)

Tuesday was my last day at my summer job in Camden, so summer has just begun for me! Woohhooo!! It will involve a lot of cleaning and organizing.....or at least that's the plan for now, we'll see what happens. I am VERY ready for school to start though. I miss my routine, kids and of course my paycheck!!!

I do promise to be a much better blogger from now on. Pinky promise.

And Sarah, I have no clue why you can't blow my pics up, but I would love to know why because that always drives me nuts on other blogs. (& can you also tell me why all these last 3 paragraphs are next to each other and won't space out)?!?

Rainy Day Randoms

I woke up this morning with a summer cold. The kids at the Day Center I'm working at this summer have been sharing it around, and I finally caught it. Its pouring down rain and I don't really wanna get out in it & there isn't much medicine I can take to help, so I just stayed at home today....which made Chloe a very happy girl!!

Our dog is seriously so rotten...I'm pretty sure she thinks she is human. She is a "daddys girl" though and loves to play and nap with him. I walked in the den the other day and found them napping like this....

Such an innocent face....

We went to Monroe on Saturday night with Ashley and our friends, Scott and Britney Snell. Our main goal.....to eat at Olive Garden!! Oh my I love that place, but I found that eating that much right now is not good! I payed for it later, but I definitely loved it!!

Ashley and her "date" =)


This is what happens when you take these two "kids" shopping with you....

Sweetheart

Last Monday we had our first Ultrasound to get our first look at our little bambino! This was Chris first time to go to the doctor with me....that was an experience all in itself :) He was a trooper though and definitely kept me entertained.

After our 40 minute wait and some "pre-examinations" we headed to the Ultrasound room. It was such an awesome thing to see our little baby and the sweet little heart beat. It made everything much more real....especially for Chris, I think. Dr. Watson got some great pictures and changed our due date from Feb 28th to March 2nd.

It was a great appt. and I cant wait to go back and see our little one again. Our next appt is on August 17th.

Getting it all started...

Well, I am FINALLY giving in and joining this blog world :) I always said we were boring and no one would want to read about us.....but since we are growing our little family, I'm sure our family far away would love some updates. I am not a great writer, I have terrible grammar skills and I tend to love run on sentences......if you can ignore all of that, then enjoy our life and our journey to parenthood!!
