Update

Well yesterday was a crazy day to say the least. It started off pretty good, I had my regular doctor's visit & it was very routine & no where near as exciting as the last. I got to hear the heartbeat again which was 144 & they weighed me I have finally gained some weight about 6 lbs. & hopefully I can keep that slow & steady. But the worst part of the day was on the way home when I got in to a fender bender with two vehicles. A lady hit me from behind because someone hit her. It really scared me because I immediately started worring about the baby. I was sitting still when I got hit with my foot on the brake & she hit me hard enough to move my car forward. Luckily no one was hurt! I called my doctor shortly after the wreck because I started to feel a little tightness in my stomach & my back was sore. I asked what I needed to do, they said to come in so they could check me & make sure I wasn't having any contractions. I think I was just tense from all of the excitement, I had a feeling nothing was wrong but I know I wouldn't have slept that night not knowing for sure. Brad & I got to the hospital & they monitored Katelyn & I for about an hour. Thank God nothing was wrong with either one of us & today everything is back to normal, except my car.

Preggers!!




Last night we went to Southland Electric's 30th Anniversary party. Brad's boss was honored & it was nice talking to all of his coworkers. You can tell it is a great company to work for, they are like one big family & I am glad Brad has been a part of it for the last 12 years.
I finally got a picture of Lynn & I, this is the first picture I have of us since we found out we are going to be mommies. I am so glad we are pregnant together, it's nice to have someone going through the same thing you are that you can talk to. I can't wait to find out what she is having so I will know if Katelyn will have another boyfriend or a little girl to take dance with.

Katelyn's Bedding





We finally decided on a name for the baby, Katelyn Ann, & we will call her Katie for short. We finally decided while we were on vacation this weekend that there weren't any other names we really liked for our daughter. I have said for a long time that if we had a girl I liked the name Katelyn & I think Brad had no choice but to like it.

Here is the bedding for the nursery, I can't wait until it all comes together. Brad is getting started on all of the trim this weekend & hopefully next weekend we will paint. The crib & other furniture was ordered today & should be here in a few weeks which will give us some time to finish the room. We have taken everything out of the room that will be the nursery including the carpet & are starting from scratch, so I still have a lot to pick out. As soon as some progress is made I will post pictures.

Back from the Beach





We had the best time on our beach trip & really didn't want to leave. The weather couldn't have been any better & we had some really good food too. The water was crystal clear & I even got a few pictures of some sting rays. I think we watched a group of 4 or 5 swim by every few minutes for at least an hour. I have never seen that many in the ocean before & I don't think I went back in once I saw them. The sunsets were breathtaking & I think it was one of the most relaxing parts of our trip. I am glad we got to get one last trip together before we become parents. I know our beach trips will never be the same, but I am really looking forward to having our daughter there next year!!

1/2 Way There!


Well I have made it to the half way mark & I can honestly say it has flown by, even though it didn't feel that way for the first 3 months. She has really been moving & kicking alot more & they seem to have gotten stronger in the last few days. We have a couple of names picked out but haven't completely decided yet. We have started on the nursery & I received the bedding this week. We are headed to the beach for one last trip for two (at least for a while) & I will post pictures of the bedding as soon as we get back.

Entertainment for the night...




We had some friends over Sunday night for dinner & I got to play with Madelyn & Brody. I had a great time coloring with Madelyn & watching the puppet show her & Brody tried to put on. They also had a good time playing with Sadie & swinging in the hammock. They were definately the entertainment for the night.
