It's a GIRL

Hey just letting you all know that we are having a baby girl and couldn't be more excited. We haven't picked any names yet, they keep changing and what I like I end up not liking a few weeks later. Paul is excited to have a little princess around. I am just thrilled over all!!

New Do

So after complaining that my hair was too long and pulling it back for a week plus straight, I half way decided it was time to cut it off. Paul drove me to the Salon and told me I had two minutes to decide what I was going to do. I was very hesitant because for the first time in years I didn't have my good friend back home to cut it or the trust of my cousin. Yikes I was scared, but the results are great. I love it so much, now it is short and easy to do and so much lighter. I hadn't cut my hair since October the last time Kari cut it so it was down past my shoulder blades, but I love this new change. However, I do have to say I still miss the comfort of having people you know cutting it, miss you Angela and Kari.

Now I am just bored, but if I can say so myself these pictures don't do it justic. Oh and a side note, I tried taking a picture of my very little almost no belly and it was awful so you will all have to wait longer. If you don't believe me just ask Maggie she said it is just starting. Peace out.

New Crib


Well I thought I would post a quick picture of our New Crib. Thanks to many thing like Grandma Van (wow that sounds weird mom!), a sale, and left over Christmas gift cards we couldn't pass up the opportunity to buy the crib. Plus I have been itching to buy stuff for the baby but not knowing the sex still; throws a cramp in my style of shopping. So this is what it will look like minus the beding.

Last Weekends Fun

Well I know I am a little late in posting this, which pretty much means I am LAME (But I admit it!!). We decided to advantage of the 90 plus weather and have a little BBQ and a game of Croquet. It was so last minute we ended up having meat for Sunday for another BBQ because none of us know how to plan. I took some pictures of the crew so you could enjoy.
Round one of BBQ and this was after we all had eaten. Getting started, we soon learned that the grass was to long here so it made for an interesting hole, just ask Gerry.This cracks me up. Gerry was making a path in the grass so he could get past the first hole. He figured it he tried hard enough and hit the ball good it would go forward make the turn and go through the loop. Needless to say it only went forward and he was still three holes behind everyone else. Thats when I would have cheated!!This is Julie, what a troop. She has like 4 weeks until she is due. Sara and I are trying to get her to go into labor before the Gerry and Dan (Sara and Julie's husbands) leave on deployment, which is three days before Julie's due date. But we are still waiting.

Utlrasound Pics





Well folks, I guess this is what you get when I get bored. I realize that as I promised a good friend I haven't posted any of my ultrasound pictures. Sorry if they are a little blury, but you can still see the baby at least.





Well it took 17 weeks and I think I finally can't fit into my pants anymore. I thought of taking a picture of me but when I looked in the mirror I thought It could wait another week or so and maybe my belly will be better. But all in all I drug Paul out for a shopping trip today, he did so good and I really appreciate him going with me.

Disappointment or False Alarm

Well so as the tech doing my ultrasound so nicely informed me today, "No you are not going to find out what you are having today." I am only sixteen weeks so they won't risk telling me and it not being right. So now we have to wait another two weeks and hope they tell us on April 22nd. Not to worry, I will keep you updated on all news.

Sorry to be the bear of bad news, trusted me I was plenty disappointed. But we got a cute picture of the baby with its legs straight up in the air. It is priceless, so I am stoked about that and for now the baby will remain an "It".

Check Back Tomorrow

Hey all, I just wanted to pass a little tid bit of information along. Paul and I might be finding out what the sex of the baby is tomorrow if all goes well. So check back tomorrow evening to find and if we aren't lucky hopefully we will find out on the 22nd of April. I am so excited. I think we are having a boy and Paul thinks a girl so we will see.

Also for Corinne, soon there should be a picture of a barely there bump. Its not much but I know you have been dying to see a picture of my belly.
