4 wonderful years

oct. 16 was our 4 year anniversary. we were lucky to both have the day off of school. we spent the day sleeping in (my favorite part), shopping for baby stuff, going to a see a movie, and having dinner at a nice place in bricktown. i know lots of girls say this, but i really believe that i have the best husband in the world!

5 months

at our appointment this last week everything looked good. her heartbeat was 153 and my blood pressure was 100/60. the doctor was also happy that i only gained 2 pounds this month. at the last appointment i got scolded for gaining 6 pounds in one month. i'm feeling really good. my eating habits are back to normal and i'm still jogging 2 miles 3-4 times a week. we also are able to feel her kick now. blake and i can't help but laugh everytime we feel her kick...she is a very active little thing!

homecoming

every night this week i have spent with a few faithful juniors working on our class float for the homecoming parade. the theme of our float was grease. i thought that the float was really cute, but for some reason the judges didn't think it was great. we didn't even place...i'm upset because this is the first time in 7 years that my junior float hasn't placed in the parade! oh well...the kids had fun making it and walking in the parade.

painting

we have been working on painting the nursery for 3 weeks now. we have been busy...so it has been a slow process. they are delivery furniture today, though, so we finally made some time to finish the painting. i'm excited about getting the furniture in and putting the room together.

maesie

we are pretty set on the name maesie for our little girl. blake and i both have grandmothers with the middle name mae. we aren't sure about a middle name yet, though. i welcome any suggestions. today we went and picked out most of the nursery furniture, bedding and decorations. once it's all put together i'll be sure and post pictures.

it's a girl!

we had our appointment yesterday and everything looks good. they were able to tell that it is a little girl...i even had the ultrasound tech. check the gender twice to be positive! we are very excited about having a baby girl! it seems so much more real now that we can start planning and can start calling her "she" instead of "it."

4 months pregnant

i'm finally beginning to get a belly on me. i've had to start wearing maternity shirts because most of my regular shirts are getting too short! my regular pants are still working, but i have to rig the top button with a rubber band to give a little more room. i feel great, though. i'm having a good year at school and have lots of energy. we have a doctors appointment and ultrasound this wednesday and will hopefully find out if it's a girl or boy.
