First Doctors Appointment

On March 2nd, Kyle and I went to our first doctors appointment. Boy, was it fun! Let's just say that funny things seem to happen to us no matter where we go. I won't go into specifics, but just know that peeing in a cup, while difficult, is quite hillarious!
We found out our baby's official due date....October 15th. Right in the middle of the month. The nurse informed us that instead of us being almost 9 weeks along, we were really only 8 weeks. We thought it was weird that we were off a week, but it's no big deal!
At this visit, they confirmed that we are pregnant, drew blood (which is a tramatic thing for me always!), and gave me a TB skin test. It wasn't that bad, Kyle said he was proud of me when it came time for the needles! I am trying to become courageous because I know that is the least of the pain that I will be experiencing in the next 7 months!
Before we left, we scheduled our next appointment. We are really excited because we get to hear the heart beat. We scheduled it for March 23rd-just 3 more weeks! I will be almost 11 weeks pregnant and the nurse said that we should be able to hear the heart beat loud and clear by that time.
Every time I think about this next appointment, I get really teary eyed and excited. I just can't believe that there is a tiny baby growing inside of me. And, that it has a heart beat. It is just amazing! God is amazing! I am so thankful for all of the blessings He is pouring upon Kyle and I.

Our Funny Daughter!

Ava is growing up wayyyyy too fast! In the past few weeks she has learned a lot and seems to have gotten funnier as the days go on. Let me update you on our funny girl! Goodbye! Ava has said bye-bye for a long time now, but lately her goodbyes have become so much cuter! We will tell her to say goodbye to someone and she starts waving and saying bye. Instead of it coming out bye, it's more like bah, bah, baaaaahhhhh , and she continues saying bye for a very long time after whoever has left. She is soooo southern when she says bye! I love it! She thinks it is funny for us to smell her feet and then she will smell own and says shew, shew like they really do stink! She's taken it a step further now. We will be sitting there and instead of smelling our feet, she starts to try to put our toes in her mouth! Yuck! How do you teach someone that it's not nice to put someone's toes in your mouth!?! She thinks it is so funny when we ask her to give us a kiss. She will run away, ...

One Year Photo Shoot

Last week, our photographer got Ava's one year pictures to us. I was amazed when I looked through the pictures because Ava was not feeling well at all and was really fussy! Once again, our photographer didn't let us down and got some wonderful shots of our precious baby! Take a look at some of our favorites! (Of course they did not upload in the order I wanted them to.)

The Family Now Knows!

This has been a great week for us. We told my mom, Grant, Mandy, and Sarah on Wednesday night after small group. Mom was totally surprised and excited. Sarah was excited too! Mandy said she guessed it so she wasn’t that surprised. Mom couldn’t wait to tell her mom, so we all loaded into Grant’s CRV and drove over to Granny’s. They were really excited as well. We were so glad we could tell that news with part of our family. The next night we were going to tell Kyle’s mom and sister, Katie. They were ecstatic! Now that we have told some of our family, this pregnancy seems to becoming more of a reality every day. Now I can talk with my mom and Kyle’s mom about what I am experiencing and it is awesome to not have to keep this a secret from them anymore. My sister, Mandy (Amanda to everyone else but family), asked if I wanted to go to a big sale at a consignment store yesterday. I said yes just to have something to do knowing that I wouldn’t buy anything because I am already starting to g...
