So, we had our second birthing class last night. Somehow practicing breathing techniques makes me giggle. I just can't help it! So my husband and I are sitting facing each other, practicing slow paced breathing, and he keeps making these ridiculous faces at me...Our birthing instructor ends the lesson and asks, alright, Did anyone have any problems with those techniques? My husband of course, being the comedian he is, immediately raises his hand and says, my wife is having problems! He's so embarassing. But I love him anyway. Feeling pretty great, starting to get restless though. Only a little bit more. Peace and love <3.

So, yesterday I was trying to be productive and ending up falling down the stairs while carrying laundry. Yea, smooth move on my part. Anyway, went to the doctor today, everything is fine :o) Thank goodness. Just stuck with a really sore back and tail bone for awhile. Oh well...I guess no more carrying laundry down the stairs for me! Hope all is well with all you other ladies. Peace and love <3

Hi all! 28 weeks, 5 days...getting closer and closer all the time. I can't wait. Had our check up on Friday, everything is going well. Getting huge! Not much has been happening as of late, however we did finish getting the nursery painted yellow this weekend, makes me so happy and excited to meet my little one, although I was excited and sore afterwards. Also went bowling with Matthew and his parents and friends this weekend, so much fun however plenty of "Katie you're not supposed to put the ball under your shirt, you're supposed to roll it down the alley." Oh well, that's what you get I guess. Anyway, tomorrow is my glucola test...yippee... haha. Hope all you ladies are doing wonderfully! :o) Peace and love.

28 weeks! Everyday I am getting more and more excited! I can't wait to meet my little baby girl. Tomorrow we have our 28 week check up, so hopefully everything is ok. :o) Last Sunday my mom and 2 best friends threw me a shower, which was absolutely amazing, we got great stuff and had lots of fun. Olivia is going to be one fashionable little lady, haha. So this weekend, now that we have a crib and stuff, we're getting the nursery ready. Painting, cleaning, building, moving. It's going to be tiring, but fun. Hope everyone is doing well. Feel free to leave a note :o) Peace and love ladies. <3

Had a great Valentine's day and hope everyone else did as well! My hubby bought me flowers along with an ice cream cake that said "Happy Valentine's Day KT and Bean" which is our little pet name for our little girl. So cute and so happy! Our little girl is dancing away right now...had a little scare this week, I went a couple hours without feeling any movement, but it all turned out ok, she was just resting for awhile. Just got worried. Phew, what a relief!

Fri. Feb. 8th

So we found out that we are having a GIRL! So excited! We saw her moving all around during the ultra sound, she is so beautiful, 2 weeks ago at 24 weeks, she was estimated to be 1 1/2 lbs, and measuring ahead of her due date. She had a healthy heart beat and my blood pressure was fine. The one thing I was so worried about, getting in trouble for gaining too much weight, didn't happen! I only gained 2 lbs, which is pretty normal my doctor said. So far I'm up 15 lbs, but I feel HUGE! I can't imagine putting on another 10-15lbs, then I'm really going to waddle!

My husband and I have been watching my belly jiggle and shake for several nights now, it's so neat to see our little angel moving around. Her kicks have been getting stronger and stronger as well...she's really a little soccer player! So excited to meet her! :o) Hope all is well and everyone else is feeling healthy and happy! <3
