Test Results

I had my 3-hour glucose test last week. It was a pretty rough day. But, we managed to make it through. Chris went with me, and then my mom came and stayed to drive me home. It was great to have them there--they were a good distraction. I got the results back and everything is normal--I am so relieved!! Thanks to everyone who sent encouraging text messages throughout the day, it definitely helped keep my mind off of the tests. I have my next sonogram on Friday, so I will post pictures as soon as I can.

Johnnie & Angela's Shower

We helped host a baby shower for Johnnie and Angela a few weeks ago. It was really fun and so good to see some of our old friends. Angela and I are only 7 weeks apart, so it has been really great to go through our first pregnancy's together.

All of the hosts

Chris, me, Angela, and Johnnie

All of the girls

Future BFF's! I can't wait!!!!!

Not So Good At This........

I have not been good about updating this page at all!! Our laptop at home is broken, so I can only update it at work.....hopefully no one will notice that I'm not working. A lot has happened since my last post. I am now 28 weeks, and I had my glucose screening last Friday. Unfortunately, the results came back abnormal, so I am having the 3 hour test on Monday. Most of you know how good I am with needles, so I am completely dreading it. I have to fast for 12 hours, and then have blood drawn 4 times over 3 hours. Hopefully everything will come back normal, and we won't have to deal with gestational diabetes.

Our little girl is definitely growing (I will post pictures soon), and extremely active. I catch myself just sitting and watching my belly move around. I have my next sonogram in 2 weeks--I can't wait!! We bought all of the furniture and bedding for the nursery, and in March, we will start putting the room together. Right now it is just sitting in the corner. The pile keeps getting bigger and bigger :) I will post more soon--as soon as we get the computer back up and running.

Sonogram Pictures

These are the 17 week sonogram pictures. She is yawning in the first one. We wanted to make sure we could find out the sex of the baby, so my sister-in-law, Haley, told me to drink orange juice before the sonogram.....well it worked. She was moving everywhere. It was hard for the Dr. to get many pictures of her because she was moving around so fast!!! The Dr. says everything looks great!!

First Official Post

My friends and family have been bugging me to start a blog now that we have a new addition joining our little family. It's a great way for my dad and Chris' wonderful family to see pictures and always know what we are up to. I am now 4 1/2 months pregnant with our first baby, and we just found out last week that we are having a little girl. We are so excited, and can't wait for her to be here.

Here is a little background on me and Chris pre-baby.......

We got married in 2006 in Austin on Lake Travis

And moved to New York City for a year. We had so much fun there and met lots of great people and new friends.

Then we moved to Los Angeles for a short 6 months. We loved going to the beach and driving up and down the coast.

After some time on each coast, we definitely missed home. About a year and a half ago, we bought a little house in Dallas. Its great being close to friends and family again.
