(Another) Catch-Up Post!

Almost 2 months since the last post? Yikes! The days go by very quickly around here.

Caitlyn is having a blast in preschool. She's so excited when I tell her it is a school day. The fire truck came to visit this past Tuesday morning. Caitlyn was very interested.



They are having their Halloween party (they call it a "Harvest Party") on Monday morning, complete with a costume parade. I'll be sure to post pictures! Then that night, we'll be joining the mob of trick or treaters in our neighborhood (we've gotten up to 300 before!). After that? Preparing for the holiday season officially begins! Baby Girl is due Jan. 11 and she could very well decide that she wants to join us for Christmas! So, my goal is to have all Christmas preparations done, gifts wrapped, cards mailed, etc. by Dec. 1st. It's a bit ambitious but we are keeping things simple this season and we're not traveling so it's definitely doable.

Until next time! (It won't be 2 months, I promise! ;)

Baby #2 is a.....

GIRL!

We're very excited about having another girl in the house! Caitlyn is going to be a wonderful big sister. We're so thankful for both of our little miracles!

Time to Catch Up!

Well, I guess it's time to dust off the blog again and update it! The days just go by too quickly around here. :)

The OB appt. on the 19th went great. The heartbeat was swishing away at a healthy 160bpm. Caitlyn was fascinated with the sound of it. Our next appointment is 8/31. It includes the anatomy scan and, if baby cooperates, we'll learn if we're having a he or she!

Caitlyn has Open House at her preschool on 8/24. Her first official day will be 8/29. I'm so excited for her! She loves being around other kids and I think she will have a lot of fun. (It will also be fun for Mommy, who will have a break 2 mornings a week! :)

I'll be back this afternoon with some birthday pictures!

Summer!

So far we've been enjoying our summertime up here. I'm finally beginning to feel better; food and I are no longer fighting each other. ;) My next OB appointment is 7/19; it will be the first time hearing the heartbeat with the doppler. We continue to pray that everything with the baby progresses normally! I haven't been talking about the baby too much with Caitlyn right now but, as I get bigger and she gets older, I'll talk more about it. I may take her with me to the OB a time or two so she can hear the baby's heartbeat.

Keith built Caitlyn's playset and she loves it! Our issue right now is figuring out how to keep the slide cool and what trees we need to plant around it. :)

Some random pictures from this month:

Surprise!

On May 5, we received quite a shock; we found out that Caitlyn will be a big sister in January! We only told a few people until we had an ultrasound, which was today. We saw the little heart beating away and are very excited and thankful for this little peanut. Caitlyn is going to be a great big sister! ;)

Time with Cousins

Keith's grandmother died on 4/26 so we went down to GA for the funeral that week. On 5/1, there was a church picnic at Keith's parents' church so we took Caitlyn to play with her cousins, Hannah & Joshua. They all had a fun time running around together.

Real update coming soon!

I promise! The days have been so busy and, when I remember that I haven't updated the blog, it's 9:30pm and I'm too brain dead to do it! :p

We are doing well. Well, mostly; we all have colds this weekend but they seem to be minor. I will do a more "proper" update later this week!
