Matt's Practicing

Matt's practicing his Bobcat teaching skills with our nieces Megan and Holly. I hope our little one has as much fun digging as they did!!

A very nice Memorial Day Weekend, a cookout at the Cushings and my best friend Kelly's graduation party from Optometry School! Notice both of our pregnant bellies, but Kelly's baby will be coming in July.

Half Way!!!

I can't believe it, but I'm 20 weeks along today and halfway through the pregnancy. I went to the doctor yesterday and the heartbeat was so loud and strong. It was 146-150 and sounded great. I'll go back in another 4 weeks. I'm trying to fix my camera so I can post some pictures, so please be patient with me. You'll get to see my emerging belly soon. Although I've only gained 4 pounds, it's looking like a lot more!!
After searching on the internet forever, I finally found bedding for the nursery and ordered it. I'll post a picture of that soon too. If anyone was guessing, YES, there's Orange in it!!!

A Happy Healthy Mother's Day

I had a great first unofficial Mother's Day!! I can really get used to all the pampering. The baby got me a pregnancy massage that I have badly been wanting. Not sure how it knew what I wanted, but I'm not complaining. The past two weeks were a little hectic for Matt and I. The doctor's office called to tell me that my blood test came back positive for a spine defect so we had to go see a specialist in Peoria last Thursday. After seeing the new dr., he reassured us that there was nothing wrong with the baby!! The sonogram we saw there was very cool. We got to see everything magnified (minus the parts that might give away a secret!) I have to go back after the 4th of July to the specialist again to make sure the baby is growing correctly and everything looks good. If everything is fine, I will continue to see my regular dr. until the baby is born. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers for a healthy baby!! It really paid off! This sonogram picture is from a week ago but it finally is starting to look like a baby!
