Today we were blessed to be apart of Garrett and Stacy's wedding. It was beautiful. They were both glowing all day. It reminded me of our wedding day and how I couldn't wait to be David's wife. It was so nice not having to drive anywhere...just the other side of Abilene. We can't wait till they get back so we can finally hang out with another married couple! Now they just need to have a baby soon so cletus can have some friends!!!

David and I (and cletus). Didn't he make a good looking groomsman? I think so!

Here is the beginning of the belly tracker....the first picture is at 17 wks then the next is at 10 wks. I still can't believe that I am 18 wks (on sunday)...that means only 22 wks till our little bundle of joy comes!

Now for some old pictures that are just now getting uploaded. These are on valentines day when David surprised me and showed up at my parents house. It is also his first time to meet Addison Grace. I think she is about a month and a half here.


He is going to make a great dad and uncle! I love it when we get to see her...it isn't enough and it hasn't been for good reasons lately. But I'm hoping to get to see her a few times this summer. This weekend we also got to babysit Lane. He is 6 months old and it was kind of weird b/c we are moving into Lane's house next month so it was kind of like seeing what our future is going to be like with a kid. I thought I would kind of freak me out a little...everything else has. But it brought a lot of peace to me and I think even David. It made me realize that we can do this...we can raise a kid (I think).

Well I hope everyone is having a good holiday weekend...I have to work monday but we are having a bbq potluck with my coworkers...mmm Cletus can't wait. I'm so jealous of my parents b/c they went up to Oregon to see a bunch of our family members and I didn't get to go...next year I hope! Well off to bed...sweet dreams everyone!

Crib or the new crib

A little over a week ago we lost my Grandma. She has blessed our lives in so many ways and will be missed very much. My brother did an amazing job doing her funeral...I have no idea how he was able to do it. It had to be the hardest thing he has ever done before. So after being away from David for almost a whole week I am back in Abilene! I had to work this weekend and Sat. night when I got home he had planned a "Girls night out" for us!!! He had my favorite foods, Gilmore Girls DVD's set and ready to be watch. (that's a big deal b/c he HATES Gilmore Girls) It was the best night EVER!

Today was another Dr. apt. We were hoping for an ultrasound but only got to hear the heart beat. Still pretty amazing. I still can't believe that there is a person inside of me...kind of weird if you think about it. When we were done we went and bought our baby crib and dresser...really my amazing parents bought it (THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!)

The dresser matches but I can't find the picture. The store was super nice and they are going to keep it there till we move in June. I still can't believe that there is only 22 wks till we get to meet this little one!

This week is going to be a busy and fun one. I work the next 3 days then this weekend is Garrett and Stacey's wedding! It is going to be fun having another married couple to hang out with.

Before I go I want to tell Amber HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

What an emotional weekend. I don't even know where to start. So many thoughts, feelings, emotions. It all started last week I think Tues or Wed. My Grandmother got put back in the hospital for an infection. Little did they know she was septic. She is now unresponsive and has been since Thursday night (maybe Friday). I got the call Saturday while I was at work that we are taking it hour by hour. Thanks to all of my amazing co-workers I was able to leave early and go see her. David and I packed up and made our trip to Greenville. Little did we know that we would have to swim there!!! I haven't seen so much rain! In fact while we were driving my dad called me to let me know they were having a tornado and they had moved all the patients to the halls...including my Grandma who is on a ventilator. We finally made it just in time before visiting hour was over. My heart just breaks when I think my Grandmother there just lying there pretty much just lifeless. Sometimes I just hate being a nurse...I wish that I had no knowelge of what was going on. I wish I could be like my Uncles who still have hope. I wish that I could do over the last 25 years and fix all the dumb little problems that me and my Grandparents had.

It turns out that they think the infection might be going away, but the damage has already been done. She has a leaky heart vavle do to the infection going to her heart. The infection got to her brain and they are thinking she has little to no brain function and to top things off she has now gotten pneumonia.

Pray for my family. Wednesday is the day. I guess it is the day they see how much damage has happened, if they are going to take her off the vent. My uncles have finally accepted things and plans have stated to be made...no one likes to make these plans. Pray for Jason as he starts to prepare the services...Pray that he as the strength to get through it (Lord knows I wouldn't be able to do it). Just pray for us.

So lets back up to Sunday afternoon. We were all going to go eat lunch then come back home when we got the call about David's Grandpa who fell at home and was now at the hospital. (I guess it was a two for one weekend on seeing Grandparents in the hospital). He is doing ok. He broke a rib and is in pain. Pray for their family has they transition to moving them to a nursing home. Pray for the healing of the ribs.

We made it back to Abilene today and I never been so glad to be home. We are both so physicaly and emotionally tired. David has finals this week and has to preach tomorow night. And I work Tues, Wed, Thurs. So a busy busy week the only reward for it is that I have a 4 day weekend again!!! Monday I go back to the Dr. so lots of things to look forward to. Just please remember us this week and be praying for us. Hope everyone has a good week! Keep away from the pig flu!!!

Spring Clean

Our toilets are so clean you can eat off of them thanks to my wonderful husband! Today was "spring clean" but really it was just way past due for a basic clean. The sad part is that it still feels like its not super clean for the amount of work we put into it...I'm sooo ready to move!!! (1 month!!!)

Last Monday David and I went to the Dr. And well I think it was a eye opening for the both of us on what is to come... out little trouble maker/diva. So they were only going to do a doppler to hear the heart beat. Well they couldn't find the heart rate, and the Dr. made a big deal about me not feeling to baby yet (which I think it is still too soon to feel it anyways) so we "earned" ourselves a ultrasound...lucky us!!! Everything turn up being fine. We got to see the little fingers, legs and the baby dance around. I still can't believe that there is something inside of me...it is really weird to think about. Here are some pics...enjoy!















Here is the baby waving at us...you can see the 4 fingers and thumb...I hope these come out better than on facebook.

















This is the babies funny looking face due to it dancing around...the heart beat was 167.

Tomorrow I will be 10 weeks. I'm in my 3rd month and I have so far been blessed with only one night of being sick! (how lucky am I!!!) I think it has finally set into my head that I really am pregnant and going to be having a baby in 6 months (holy cow!) David and I have been looking on line at different cribs and stuff. Here are a couple that we like so far.

I can't figure out how to post the 3rd one's picture so here is the link

We are moving in June so we aren't buying anything till then. Who wants to move things twice? June is also the same time we get to find out what the sex of the baby is!!! I can't wait till then! Our next apointment is April 13th so not much longer. Hope everyone had a good weekend. We got to watch about 5 snowflakes fall on friday!

Guess what!?!!?

So if you have facebook (which I am pretty sure that everyone who reads my blog does) well then you already know. But just in case I am proud to tell the world that David and I are 8 1/2 weeks pregnant. Now if y'alls jaws just dropped well then you are at the same spot I am at haha. I guess God thought we were being left out of the new baby boom that is going on. Or maybe David really is "superman" like he keeps saying haha. Either way we have been very blessed with this baby. I am due Oct 27th and I'm already wishing it was sooner. We went to the Dr. yesterday and got to hear the amazing heart beat, and see he/she move around. I can't wait till next month and see he/she all over again! Babies first picture. 1.97 cm long and 81/2 weeks

Heart beat 177

Other news...David and I also signed a lease on a new place to live! We move around June 1st and I can't wait!!! I wish we were moving tomorrow!!!

Wow so I haven't posted in a month and I am very sorry for that.  I haven't posted because I feel like either nothing is going on or way to much to post.  

So today marks the beginning  of David's spring break...he so far has slept since he got home haha....but hey what is spring break for!

Me on the other hand is cleaning house and doing a little bit (one load) of laundry so that I have clothes for work the next two days.  If only I had one more scrub outfit and I wouldn't of had to do any before going to our parents and bumming off of them. 

I think once we get back from spring break David and I are really going to start looking for a new place to live.  I can't wait to move and have our washer and dryer back.   But I'm not thinking about anything yet...I'm going to enjoy having a week off!!! I'm going to sleep, read, get my toes done, shop, and have a girls night on friday!!! ( I get to finally meet baby Lily!)  Anyways the washer is calling me...got to go more in about a week or so is my guess!

Oh sorry for the ugly blog I tried to change it to get my halloween stuff gone not so much luck...maybe Jenny will see my blog and feel sorry for me. haha
