We got a lot done this weekend

Well Saturday me, Mom and Andy worked really hard to cut in and paint the babies room. Then Mom and I went to Julia's baby shower ... Andy called Brandon and asking him to come help him put some dresseres and a shelf together ... they continued to work on the room until very late at night. They constructed 2 dresser systems and a shelve on the wall. This morning Mom and Dad got here around 8:30 and the rest of the decorating began! Dad hung the chair rail, mom and I sized the walls and then hung the border. While Dad was working on chair rail mom and I painted the Kemp letters and that is my favorite! I had SO MUCH fun! The room is great ... I LOVE IT! Andy really likes it better than he thought he would ... tomorrow the furniture assembly process begins ... good luck to us! Haha ... Hope you enjoy the pictures!

The room is not done but we are getting there ...

Mom trimming and Andy Rolling

Mom putting up the border

The closet is all together

The Shelf and fun stuff!

Since the name is still up in the air I just did our last name ...

Small update (same as babysite.com) sorry!

Short Update not much has been happening ...

I have been feeling pretty good, I have a cold still, but I really think it is from the pollen. I have never really had a problem with Pollen, but since I am preggo it is hard to tell. My sinuses are all jacked up and out of wack which is making my throat all sore and raw. Gross I know!

Also the tired stage has come back ... Sunday when I got home from out of town I was in bed by 7:45 and that was pushing it. Monday I was in bed by 8 and yesterday I left work at 2 went home, napped until 6 got up to eat with Andy and was back in bed by 8:45 ... am I old or what?! I feel like I can barely function it is all I can do to stay at work a full 8 hours. I have quit bowling ... it was killing my belly, maybe my ball was too heavy, not sure but it is time to get a sub!

The LMC Girls threw Kim and I a double baby shower last weekend ... it was WONDERFUL to see everyone and I got SO much great stuff. I have another family shower on the 28th and then the Murrells Inlet crew is throwing us one I think on the 5th of May ... I am so so so Thankful for all of our wonderful friends and family that have helped us out ... I can't wait until she arrives!

I just got the call that the baby furniture will be delivered tomorrow between 8 and noon ... I am so so very excited ... My Mom stopped at Sherwin Williams and got us some paint samples so we can pick our colors before Friday ... mom and I will start painting this weekend and hopefully have it all finished by May 6th ... I guess we will keep the furniture and all the other stuff in the garage until we get done then it will be time to start washing and putting up all the great clothes we already have!

We go to the Dr on April 5th and then start to go every 2 weeks, and of course I will keep you all posted!

Our Pretty Cake

It was so so tasty!

Mommy 2 B # 1

Mommy 2 B # 2

Snow BE's in the house!

Kim and Kim "Bare" all!

I think I am crazy

Well last week when I went to the Dr, she asked me "what if she is not an Abigail?!" I was like, "What do you mean?" She went on to tell me this story about how she had both her babies named before they came and then when they came she named them something completely different ... so now I am dwelling on that. What if i have chosen the WRONG name?! Andy likes it because he wants to call her Tatum anyway! So now here were are back to square one with the nursery theme ... yes i took the sheep stuff back ... and now with the name too ...

Please vote:
Abigail Ann
Tatum Ann
or
To be Determined when baby arrives?!

I AM ALIVE

Okay Okay I was doing so well at keeping you all updated and now it has been like 3 weeks ... I am so sorry! I am alive and I am almost well. Mentally still off but I am starting to see the end of this horrible cold. Yes a second cold ... and this time it was MUCH worse than the first. I actually had to be put on antibiotics and a decongestant. (I tried to avoid that for Abi, but my nose ooze had started to turn green.) Other than that the Ohio trip was a success, my Grandma's 93 Birthday was great ...

Then my Aunt and Cousin threw me our first baby shower ... it was amazing ... we got SO MUCH stuff. A lot of cute clothes, the highchair, open cradle swing, bouncer and a lot of great books. The best ... cut little pink Crocks ...

Aren't they the so cute! I can't wait for her to get here!

Even got a couple blue outfits for Andy to dress her in! He begged I not go Pink crazy, but since that is already my Favorite color I am not sure if that will happen!

Here is the last belly picture taken: Feb 24th I was 23 weeks.

Well again i am sorry I was so slack and I will try better ...

we leave Wednesday to go to Atlanta ... NASCAR in the house! This will be the first sober race for this chick we will see how I like it! Haha

Then the 21st is the Double K Baby Shower, with all my college girls ... it will be a blast!

I will keep you posted!

Happy Feet!

Side view - she is smashedd in there!

yes that is her flipping you off ... just like mommy!

Waiting for Baby Kemp

Well all the baby bedding stuff is here, now all we need is the furniture and the baby furniture. I guess the furniture is supposed to be delivered in March - I wish it was next week! This weekend I cleaned up the babies room and bathroom. The bathroom was already all decorated - we decorated it with the intention of kids in the future. The bedroom was already yellow and now I have to pick the green and start painting - we will paint the lower half of the room in a green with a white chair rail and then the top half yellow. As you can see below the carpet is already tan. So now we wait for the furniture and then the baby, I sat in the room on Saturday just looking around and soaking it all in, I am getting very excited! Thursday is the US, if baby Kemp cooperates we will know if it is GLK or AAK. I am hoping for AAK and of course Andy is hoping for GLK. I hope it cooperates!

Babies Bathroom-











Bedroom fun stuff -

2007 is getting booked

Well while my calendar is not quite as full as it was last year, it is only February 2nd and it is getting there! Next weekend I am going to Clinton, NC to see Naj and Melanie.

Three Amigos

Melbel is planning a wedding and is in desperate need of a break and Naj is in her house and all ready for some visitors so we are knocking out 2 birds with one stone, going to see and stay with Naj so we can see her place, all while giving MelBel a big Break. (Only Down Fall - I can't drink) ha ha

Feb 21-26 I will be in Ohio visiting my Grandma for her 93 Birthday and attending my first baby shower. (Other Kimmy - where in Ohio do you live?) It should be fun - my dad and I are flying up on Wednesday, we got a rental car and will drive over to see Grandma. Thursday is her actual B-day so my mom will be there by then, she is driving to stay longer than us and to take the Devil dog. Friday we will head down to Aunt Judy's and the shower is on Saturday. That evening we will drive back to Grandma for Sunday breakfast, lunch and dinner. Then we wake up Monday and fly home. Who knows when mom will come home- she needs a break too!

Me and Grandma Herrmann

March 2nd is the Taylor Hicks concert. That was mom's Christmas present. He is coming to the HOB and we will rock it out with the good 'ole Southern Boy! We got tickets for everyone: Mom, Dad, me and Andy. We will eat at the HOB and then go into the concert. Should be fun!

March 14-19 We will be in ATL for the race -

Me, Dad and Mom @ Daytona 500, 2006.

We are loading up the camper on Wednesday and leaving for ATL (me, mom, Dad, Andy and Murphy. (Dudley will be staying with Matt more than likely) We will be home Monday early and ready to work! I can't wait!

March 24th is the Double K Baby Shower - Kim Keith and Kim Kemp, yep that is me too! The SnowBE's are throwing it at Velvet's house in G-Boro, NC.

Some of the SnowBE's:

April so far is WIDE open except for the Child Care Class we are taking on the 14th from 9-3.



May 9th - 13th we will be in Darlington, SC for the Race. Can you tell we are NASCAR fans or what?! We try to attend 3 races a year - well that rule really started just last year - but we said we would try to go to 2 new races every year and of course ALWAYS Darlington! It is after all the

"Track to Tough to Tame!"

May 14th is my Birthday!


May 19th I am taking a breast Feeding class - OMG I am scared about that - I am not a boob girl!


May 31st Kim Keith is Due- she is having a BOY!



June I am on a mission to not do anything at all - I am sure it will be very very hot and I will be ready to bust so I am on a mission to not commit to ANYTHING! Baby is Due 23rd!


July - I hope July is me, baby and Andy learning what works and what doesn't with out any other commitments - and I am not on a mission to make that happen - that is happening!



August 1-6th is the Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. That is where my mom is from and her family still lives there so we try to go every year! (it is also always just before her B-day so we celebrate it while there too) This year it is our goal to go with new Baby Kemp and Andy in tow. It is hard to fit Andy in cause that is his busy time at work, but I have begged! Last year they inducted Harry Carson, he was from Florence, SC ....

September is still open except for the 14th that is my Daddy's B-day!

October 18-22 we are off to our 3rd race. Martinsville - Baby Kemp can not go to a race that small, so we will see who stays in the camper with "it" I can tell you who it wont be ... Andy!

November 8-11th I will be in Raleigh for Melanie and William's wedding - that is if they don't run away before then! Why is planning a wedding so darn stressful?! It is supposed to be the time of your life? I almost called ours off 3 times - Good luck Guys!

December - the rat race will be on to shop, eat and visit - which I am sure will be even harder with a baby! Ha ha I can't wait!

So that is my 2007 summed up - I know there will be a shower and a Bachlorette party in there for Melbel and I am sure some quick unplanned weekends!

20 weeks and Counting 20 more

Hey well I made it 1/2 way. Which has been a very quick half way. I feel like I just found out I was preggo and now here I am 1/2 way through. It is actually weird. I can't say for sure but I have started to "think" I am feeling "it" move. This weeks update did not give me a comparison item, which pissed me off - how will I name it?! Ha ha Anyway I still feel good, yesterday I was sick to my stomach on and off all day it was very weird. My weekly update said this:
Your baby weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now. She's also around 6 1/2 inches long from head to bottom, and about 10 inches from head to heel. (For the first 20 weeks, we use measurements taken from the top of the baby's head to her bottom — known as the "crown to rump" measurement. After that, we use measurements from head to toe. This is because a baby's legs are curled up against her torso during the first half of pregnancy and are very hard to measure.)

Note: baby is not a girl - well maybe it is, but if it is then I do not know that!

At times I can't believe that a baby is growing inside of me and that we will soon be parents and at other times I can't wait for it to come! I wish it was June already - maybe that is the Beer and Tequila calling - maybe that is my excitement - If I knew I wouldn't tell cause it would probably be choice A. Ha ha

I will do my best to keep you all posted and I hope you have a good weekend!

More Pictures

Okay so several people asked me to post more pictures - they all siad they didn't matter what they were - so here are some more belly pictures - one of week 18 and 3 of week 19 - hope you like!

Hometown Bar

Okay well I know you all have asked for pictures and I PROMISE that on Friday - my FUN day at work I WILL put some pictures on this thing - but check this out - I was just on AOL Home Page surfing around looking at all the different sites - under the top venues I see my
favorite: "Suck Bang Blow" it had A LOT of mixed reviews as you can imagine - but check it out - it is the place to be for Bike Week - I guess I will miss it this year due to being um about 8 months preggo then but I Will most defiantly hit it next year!
http://search.cityguide.aol.com/charlestonsc/bars/suck-bang-blow/v-114035487

I am going to DIE!

I know how horrible - there are people all around the world that are really sick, but if any of you know me you would know that I am not a good sick person! I am actually a very horrible sick person! Since that preggo test was + my husband has been waking up praying to God for me not to be sick and going to bed thanking God for one more day I was not sick, and now this.
A FREAKIN' COLD! Not baby sick may I add but a COLD - Note above I am not a good sick person - the minute I sniffle, sneeze or rub my ear I am off to the Dr. I have stock in amoxicillen (not really but i should) I walk in the Dr.s and he writes that prescription and I leave to go to CVS - I am not a good girl either I never take all of it, I take a couple of days for times like these when I don't wanna go, when I know it is not serious I just feel like I am going to die - but now here I am preggo and sick. You are supposed to be a tough woman and fight it - I tried so then I called the Dr. (my OB) she told me to look at the list go with Tylenol cold and sinus BLAH BLAH BLAH so I did I have been taking that shit since Wednesday, today I traded up to Sudafed - still feel like ASS! On top of all that I am 18.5 weeks preggo and EVERYONE keeps asking "have you felt the baby?" My response is still the same, "I am not sure!" "Oh you will know" Now here I am FREAKING out because what if something is wrong, did I take the wrong Tylenol product? Have I harmed my unborn child - I probably put it to sleep? OMG Stop being so dramatic, I know, I know! From mom: Relax we did a lot worse - ha ha my response to that is always the same - "Mom, that is why i only scored a 740 on my SAT's" she never laughs! Haha

Anyway the book says that some "fat" women don't feel the baby as soon as slender ones - ha ha I added "fat" for my own effects!

Well wish me luck if I feel this way tomorrow still I am going to my general Dr to plea for help! I am sure he too knows what I can take. I have the next baby appointment on Thursday. For their sake I hope I am still not SICK!

PS- it is KILLING me that I don't know the sex of the baby, i keep trying to make Andy agree to find out, but he is still standing strong! Oh well I did 2 tests on line - the Chinese test - it said it will be a GIRL - YEAH~ then I took another test that takes my age, Andy's age and the time of month conceived - it said ..... BOY - well shit 50/50 what is that?!

18 weeks ... My name is Sweet Tater

Holly molly who would have ever thought that being pregnant meant no drugs - I have a horrible cold - sinus infection, ear ache and fever - the ONLY THING I can take is Tylenol and it is not helping - I must have told my Mom yesterday 12 times that I was going to die - it really does suck! I guess it could be worse - I could have been sick like this the entire time - and since this is not baby sick I really shouldn't complain but you would think they would make a drug for us to take when sick!

We are 18 weeks now and this is what baby center had to say:Head to bottom, your baby is approximately 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a large sweet potato) and she weighs almost 7 ounces. She's busy flexing her arms and legs — movements that you'll likely start noticing more and more. Her blood vessels are visible through her thin skin, and her ears are now in position and stand out from her head. Myelin (a protective covering) is beginning to form around her nerves, a process that will continue for a year after she's born. If you're having a girl, her uterus and Fallopian tubes are formed and in place. If your baby is a boy, his genitals are noticeable, though he may hide them from you during an ultrasound.

Very Productive Weekend

WOW what a weekend - not that I physically did much but I really did do a lot!
I cleaned out my closet - 3 bags for Good Will and 2 storage boxes for the attic -
I finally picked out a crib set and the bedding to go along with it - if you are interested - check it out!
Furniture:
http://www5.jcpenney.com/jcp/Products.aspx?CatNum=JH+343-8225&JSEnabled=false&mscssid=&cmResetCat=true&hdnOnGo=true
I am ordering the crib, bookcase, changer and chest all in pecan.
Bedding:
http://www.dreamtimebaby.com/cloverfields.html

I really feel like part of the load has been lifted - now we just have to wait for it all to get here so I can pick paint for the room - it is already yellow and I am hoping we can leave 3 of the walls and paint one wall in stripes with green and yellow then make the other 3 walls 1/2 and 1/2 with a chair rail - we will have to see what it looks like when it gets here! I am getting excited!

Hope you all had a great weekend!

17 weeks down 23 more to go

Wow already 17 weeks - it feels like just yesterday we found out we were expecting - yesterday I started laying out my year and all of my vacations and Weddings - (Yeah Melanie) wow are we busy people. I am sure with the baby coming that nothing about our schedule will change - maybe the places we are going will change but I am certain we will still be busy as can bee!- haha Well I am now 17 weeks and I am sure some of you are wondering if I am really going to update you each and every week - well the answer to that is YES -
Andy and I have been talking about trying to pick a new name - one that is unisex - so I can call the bump in my belly by it's name and not worry about calling it all these weird names - I think for the most part every name we came up with we have a friend that already uses that name - so for now we are still on the original 2 names - I am stuck between 2 different patterns for the babies room - if you want to help let me know I will gladly send you the links to the pictures!
Well this is what and who we are this week - notice that "baby" is now refers to as a HE - Baby Center refers to the baby every other week as girl - boy - girl- boy so this is not my wishful thinking ... Your baby weighs about 5 ounces now, and he's around 5 inches long — about the size of a large onion. The umbilical cord, his lifeline to the placenta, is growing stronger and thicker. Your baby can move his joints, and his skeleton — until now, rubbery cartilage — is starting to harden into bone. Some of it will remain cartilage for years after he's born. A newborn's skeleton has 300 parts (a combination of bone and cartilage). As your child grows, some of these parts harden and fuse together. By the time your baby reaches adulthood, he'll have just 206 bones.
With the baby being compared to a LARGE Onion I can't come up with one thing to name it! For you SnowBE's that are still in my life we could always name it Olivia - but no one else would get it - haha so I think I will stick with "O"

Weekend of relaxation

For the first time in a VERY LONG time I did absolutely nothing this weekend -
Well I guess I shouldn't say nothing, but I did not travel and I did not run run run!

Friday night I did laundry at my pace - watching TV and taking care of it when I felt like it! :) All while waiting on Melanie to call - I knew she would call but was not sure of when it would be! Around 9 pm I looked at Andy and said "honey, why hasn't she called yet?" I was so worried something was wrong - she called within 10 minutes - ha ha - Congratulations on your engagement MelBel! I went to bed after I spoke with her.

On Saturday we got up ate breakfast and went to Babies R Us and Target to start looking at things to register for! Wow so overwhelming! We had fun and there is no doubt in my mind that I over registered for things I don't need - oh well!

On Sunday we got up ate breakfast and then I went to Mom and Dad's with Dudley, we picked up Murphy and off to the beach we went - a quick game of ball and headed home! when I got home we picked dinners for the week and I headed to Wally World while Andy finished cleaning his car and the garage -

Now isn't that something after writing it all down I really did a lot just not at the tiring pace I am used to! It was very relaxing and I could defiantly get used to that!

My Name is Moley

This week I am 16 weeks -

My size:

4 1/2 inches long (head to bottom) and 3 1/2 ounces, your baby is about the size of an avocado. In the next three weeks, she'll go through a tremendous growth spurt, though, doubling her weight and adding inches to her length. Her lower limbs are much more developed now. Her head is more erect than it has been, and her eyes have moved toward the front of her head. Your baby's ears are close to their final position, too. Some of her more advanced body systems are working, including her circulatory system and urinary tract. Her heart is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood each day, circulating her total blood volume through her body many times.

15 Weeks Tomorrow!

Well this is what I look like now - I am actually the size of a pear! See my weekly name below!
We had another Dr appointment today - and I am glad that is was today - I had some spotting over the Christmas week and was a little worried - but all is great! - The Dr did a physical exam and said my cervix is long and very tight - my reply: "is that good?" She said yes it was very good. I got to hear the heart beat - oh my what a wonderful sound - it was very loud and strong - it was amazing - On my week 15 update it does not compare us to a fruit or object - it says that at 15 weeks we are: around 4 inches long, crown to rump, your baby now weighs about 2 1/2 ounces.- so I will make up my own name this week - ha ha Last week we were a large lemon and our name was Le'mone so I am going to go with Perry for the size of a pear! I love it - I love that I have not been sick - but at the same time that is scary! I know I know I am lucky! Love you all and please continue to keep us in your prayers!

Sympathy Symptoms

Well everyone keeps telling me that while you are pregnant you start getting forgetful and clumsy - well I know the clumsy is from the nausea and so on - I know that the forgetfulness is from the tiredness but could someone PLEASE tell me what is causing my husband to have Sympathy Symptoms - you see tonight was his work Christmas party and I called him after being at work late to tell him I would meet him at the restaurant and he said okay I am on my way out and I will meet you there ... Just like planned - Anyway I left the party before he did walked in the house to smell and see smoke - I started looking around for what ever in the world was on fire - well come to find out it was the TEA that my husband left on the stove top to cook - yes on HIGH ... It was horrible anyway so I have officially passed on the FORGETFUL SYMPTOM to my husband and he has gratefully accepted the SYMPATHY portion of his job!

Baby Names

Well we have started throwing around names:
Andy's middle name is Lindsey and my middle name is Anne and since we are not finding out the sex we have 2 one for a boy and one for a girl! I am pretty sure we have it narrowed down to:
Gavin Lindsey
and
Abigail Anne

As all of you know I am a planner so please pray for me not to go crazy not knowing the sex - ha ha Andy begged for us not to find out he says that way he gets a surprise too ... I can'tt wait - only 3 weeks and I can start buying stuff!
Let me know what you all think!

Carolina Beats Clemson

Well well us Carolina Fans for years have said "wait till next year" and guess what this was our year ... Today we did it - we put those Orange Obnoxious Clemson Fans into their place Homeboy missed a field goal that could have tied the game and Put us in overtime! Maybe he sees Garnet and black too! Silly people - they (Clemson) have been bragging all year that they are so damn good and we are so BAD - well then how in the hell did you get beat by a team that is so damn bad - maybe now they will realize that they are in the easiest conference in College football?! maybe now they will realize that we played 3 of the top 10 schools this year and even if we lost not one of them was a blow out - so eat my ass all of you Tigers the Cocks just broke into you Zoo and the coop is on the loose!

INCONSIDERATE

My Gosh - I am ill today!
I went to the Dr today for my first Ultrasound that was supposed to happen at noon - I was early and ready! So excited to see that little heart working here is how it went:

Andy and I both left work early with all intentions to have our first baby picture I get there, check in, and I think this is about how the conversation went:
Receptionist: "oh we called you this am, the ultra tech is out today, she is really sick. I am sorry we will have to reschedule."

Me: "What number did you call?"

Receptionist: "oh we called 650-8969 around 8:30"

Me: "My husband and I both leave for work around 6:15 am could you please change that to call my cell phone, we both took off work today to be here"

Receptionist: "I guess I can make a note of that, but we prefer to call your house"

Me: "Well you see how much good that did me! Do you have my test results, from last week?"

Receptionist: "Well I am sure if there was something wrong they would call you!"

Me: "You mean like you called me today?"

Frustrated and red in the face I stormed out !
Exactly what class do they take in school to think that a person will be happy with any of those answers?! How inconsiderate can a HUMAN be to think that someone who took 8 almost 9 months to get pregnant and took off work to come see their baby for the very first time to not understand why I was frustrated - she acted as if I should have been happy the tech was sick?!
Anyway I don't want to complain or whine so much that I ruin the fun of the Blog but I hope to have a picture next Monday at 10:40!

Bored

OMG could today be ANY SLOWER - and you know what I am not even sure why it is so freakin' slow?!
Why is that one day you can't have enough hours in the day and the next day you are wondering where all of the hours come from?! I am guessing today is SO SLOW because tomorrow is a BIG day! Our first Ultrasound - I am not sure what you can actually see at week 9 (well actually 8-3/4) but I hope to see something that will make me relax because this is killing me! I know some of you will stone me because of this but I almost wish I were a little sick so I would feel better --- I know the Dr said that my sore boobs and my tiredness were great signs I just can't believe it - I have always been a sickly person so I figured this would be horrible - and now that it isn't it is driving me nutz! Oh well I will quit complaining now but if any of you figure out why one day is so slow and boring and how I can make it go fast PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

PS Thanks for all of the Congrats on the last entry!

A lot to say this time!

The second week of September I called and made an appointment with our doctor for the month of December for consultation and fertility options for the month of December. December would have been our 10 month of trying to conceive by ourselves. I think with knowing we would get help and knowing that in less than 3 weeks I would be in Jamaica actually helped my relax Because guess what - are you guessing - well have you guessed yet -
I AM PREGNANT!
Here is the story of how we found out and our first appointment -
Andy and I returned from our vacation on October 15th it was a Sunday and my Aunt Flow was 2 days late. I did not feel any different than usual and I actually was having slight cramps so I kept thinking she was knocking on that door when we got home I remembered that I didn't have any pregnancy tests (this was actually the first month that I wasn't testing 5 days before her visit) I had to wait until Monday. We had both already planned to go to work late on Monday (I thought I would die) Monday am I went to the store and bought a 2 pack of test I went to work and had to sit and wait all day! When I got home and Andy got home we took the test and started to get ready for dinner as I kept checking the test I started to see a very light pink line and a bright pink line. Andy was like well maybe I said no not maybe honey that line has never been there and I had taken several in the past 8 months! He was like really are you sure I said yeah. Of course I took another test in the am ha ha! Well I called the Dr the next day and said you know that appointment I had scheduled for December for fertility options - I said we can cancel it and I need to schedule a prenatal visit that is when it hit me --- I cried then! One the way home from work on Wednesday I bought a pack of the digital test and sure enough I took one and it said the actual words Pregnant holly cow we did it!
At first we were not going to tell ANYONE but I was so anxious and nervous that I wasn't sleeping so we decided we would tell my mom and dad on Sunday and Andy's parents and brother on that following Monday. We gave the grandparents to be books about 101 ways to spoil your grand kids, and so you're expecting to be a grandparent - it was really neat! On Sunday when my parents said Congratulations to Andy is the first time I think he really accepted it - it was awesome!
On November 7th we had our first Dr appointment it was okay a lot of test and a lot of blood taking - I thought I would need a transfusion! Ha ha The Dr walked into the room and said well it is positive we are going to have a baby! I said that makes 7 she looked confused and said 7 kids?! I said no 7 positives she was like what?! I giggled Andy giggled and then all the questions started I told her I was nervous because I had not been sick she said every pregnancy was different and that everything looked just fine. I think she figured out how anxious and nervous I was so she scheduled an internal ultrasound for next Tuesday at noon! I am so excited!
That is where we are today our appointment for next Tuesday is at noon and don't worry I will keep all of you posted!

Not much to say

Well - it is officially Fall - How do I know that well you see in Myrlte Beach we very rarely have season changes - but this year I have seen a couple red leaves and some brown leaves. The grass is changing colors and the lawn guy is only coming every other week.
We are leaving on Thursday to go to the Mountains of GA for a long weekend with friends! I am sure I will have great pictures when we return -
Other than that now news to report!

Paradise AKA Jamaica

Hey Mon
Hope this blog finds you all well and as rested as I was when we returned from Jamaica - that feeling has since passed - due to being behind 2 weeks at work - but it was the best feeling in the world when we first returned!

What a looser

Yep that is me - I am a big fat looser - I was all into this blog thing and then poof I get talked into myspace and now I am a junkie over there and I totally neglect this. Why can't I seem to get it all together and keep it all together ... oh well I guess I can't do it all! Well we are home from Jamaica and it was a g=freaking blast - lots of sun, sand and fun! Stay tuned for pictures and fun!
