Just Call Me Dad

Hello World!

I wanted to post this on the blog at the beginning of the pregnancy so that it can become that much more real. I really have no words to describe how I am feeling right now. I do know one thing that God has so richly blessed our lives that it is just an amazing feeling to understand that in a few months I will become a dad. I will admit that there have been some moments when I have been so excited and overcome with joy that I can hardly stand it. I have not cried as of yet but I am sure it will come. I hope that doesn't sound girly, it is just the feelings I am having-thinking of being a father and Rebecca being a mother (she will be awesome). What an amazing journey God has put us on, from Rebecca and I meeting in 7th grade, Senior year of high school, The Proposal, Wedding, and now understanding that we will be parents. It is an amazing time and God is blessing us each day. It has become more real being able to tell people we care so much about, the blessing God has given us. The next 7 months are going to be so great. One thing I would ask is that you continue to pray for Rebecca and I that we would continue to remain healthy, patient, and to take each minute in. Also, pray for our little one as it is developing and growing. Pray that it will continue to be healthy and continue in God's plan. We are so Blessed! Thanks so much for all your support and we our so excited for this Journey. ~Kyle

The Week is Here!

We can't believe this is the week we will see our daughter. Some of you may be thinking, "What? How do you know? Your due date isn't even until next week!" Well, let me update those of you who may be thinking this. Last week, on Wednesday, we went to the doctor, hoping and praying that my body would be showing some progress towards having a baby. The doctor checked and informed us that the baby is still kinda high, and that I'm not 1 cm dilated, but I'm not 0 cm either. So she told us it was time to make a plan. Here's what she came up with. She said that if I am dilated 2-3 cm by this Wednesday, then she'll send me over to the hospital right then and start inducing me. But, if I'm not 2-3 cm then the following day, Thursday, she would do a c-section. She knew we were going to be on Fall Break and that we'd love to spend a couple of free extra days off with Ava so she said we could do it this week. She's going out of town on Fri...

Can You Hear It?

Yesterday, Kyle and I went to the doctor's office to see if we could hear the heartbeat. As soon as I got there, the receptionist said that our doctor was out delivering a baby and it would be about 30 minutes before she got back. No big deal, I just waited. Then Kyle got there about ten minutes after I did, and we waited some more. And some more. Two hours later, we were taken back to a room where we waited for about 20 more minutes. And finally the doctor was there! No complaining, she's a busy lady! And I had my best friend there to keep me company. What more could a girl ask for....except maybe a cheeseburger-I was STARVING. We were so happy when she came in. I thought I was going to jump off the table. She started telling us about finding the heartbeat and how it could be difficult to find. She told us that if we couldn't hear it, we would schedule an ultrasound so we could SEE it. Well, as soon as she said that I started to get nervous we wouldn't hea...

Thriftiness Fun

Those of you who know me, or have spent at least 5 mintutes around me...know that I am one of the most frugal people on the planet. Why am I such a tightwad? Well...I think I gotta give the credit to my dad on that one. He taught me from an early age the importance of being smart with money. I saved up my birthday and Christmas money when I was very young just so that I could start my first savings account. I started babysitting at age 11 (which I cannot believe), and every bit of that went into my account. I did lots of odd jobs when I was a kid to earn and save a buck here and there, including collecting chestnuts from the giant trees in our backyard to sell at a local grocery store. (Have you ever seen where chestnuts come from?? A baseball sized ball of needles, basically.)  It was a tough job, but I was excited to be earning and saving. So that's the story of my thrifty beginnings, and it has continued to follow me into my adulthood. At this point in my life, saving money ...
