Expecting

To all our family and friends,

We are finally ready to tell all that we are expecting. I am currently 19 weeks, due DECEMBER 4, 2011. In recent ultra sounds, it appears it is a girl. We are so very excited after what happened last year. We just hope for a healthy little one! We were able to register at Babies R Us and Target...

We have received our first GENEROUS gift and would like to take the time to publicly thank Tyler and Kim for getting us the stoller/travel system we registered for. It is perfect!

We were able to go to Colorado for some family time during the 4th of July weekend. There were tons of people and places we would have liked to see and be with but we got some quality time with moms, dads, and siblings. It just seems the time ALWAYS goes by too fast.

Life here in 2-9 is slow. Not much has happened. I have been very sick and been to the hospital too many times to count. I even had to take time off of school and fall off the earth to get better. I am slowly seeing improvement but still have rough days or mornings. :( Kyle has been ever so supportive! I am so lucky to have him. For Mother's day he got me cute little sockies and cards and for Father's day I got him a tactical diaper bag. We continue to become overwhelmed by the baby stuff in what to expect and what we need. But, we also continue to grow together as a couple and now as a family.

Diesel has been a champ through all this. While I was too sick to know what day it was, he was patient and laid by my side. He now has seemed to come back to life as I do and plays more. He still uses his doggy door constantly patrolling the patio and laying in the sun. We go on walks as often as we can. He has been having some ear trouble lately we are starting to get concerned about- he has bacteria always building up and we have to wipe them out and it smells and it is gross!

Thanks to all the family and friends who have supported us this far and continue to help us through what has barely even begin in our new chapter in our lives. :) I will post baby belly pictures later.
