I was just thinking. . .

I am very happily married to my best friend, Josh since August 2004. We had our first baby girl, Allie this past August and are loving out new role as mom and dad. Josh is currently working at NBBC as well as heading up the youth group at our church. God has shown himself in great and mighty ways to us and we are excited about the work he is doing in both of our lives.

Just for Fun!




Here's our little girl! (Only 6 more weeks until we get to meet her!!) (On the right you can see her "yawning" it was neat to watch it in motion!)

The doctor said that everything looked great - she weighs about 4 lbs which is normal and he commented that she has long arms and legs! (big suprise huh?)

Here is the beautiful diaper bag my aunt made for me. She did an amazing job and I couldn't have picked out a better one. I absolutely love toile! (Thanks Aunt Jennifer!)

FYI: The monogram is the baby's initials (no name telling yet!)









Well, that's all for now, tomorrow is going to be a busy day! Our apartment complex is having a garage sale, so I am going to be up early trying to get rid of the things we no longer need (and the extra cash never hurt :o)!

Count down. . .

Well, I have officially decided not to take a childbirth class! After talking it over with various people and reading all the advice some of you gave me I figured I will still survive and keep the $75 in my pocket!
I went to the doctor last week and they moved my due date up yet another week - and believe me I was not complaining. What originally started as a Sept 15 D date is now at approx Sept 2. This is only because as a diabetic, my Dr. doesn't want me to go past 38-39 weeks in order to lower any possible complications. So instead of 9 1/2 more weeks I only have 7 1/2 weeks left!
I am excited this week because I am having another ultrasound! I am going to Green Bay to my specialist and he will be checking the baby very thouroughly for any problems. And since my husband and my mom are both going to be out of town on that day I am excited to be taking my mother in law with me (she just happens to be here for a visit!).
When I was at the doctor today they asked me what Dr. I wanted for the baby and then they presented my with my hospital registration card - so needless to say, it's starting to hit home that it's not all that far away!
Josh and I are both getting excited to meet our new little family member! I was amazed the other night at how intense her movement was. We were at a fireworks display and as soon as they started going off I thought she was going jump right through my stomach! (I'm not sure if that was all due to the loud noise or from what her momma had for dinner =).
