Appointment

Good morning!

We go back to the Doctor this coming Tuesday. We should get to see him this time. For some reason I feel an uneasiness about the visit but I’m excited at the same time.

It’s still too early to find out the gender of the baby, but we should get to hear the heartbeat again. As far as Lori is concerned, she is doing okay. Her biggest enemy is fatigue. There are evening when she sleeps off to bed around 7 or 8 o’clock. At first it upset me a little, you must understand she didn’t have this problem with Ashlyn, but I’ve accepted that this pregnancy is different and I can understand why she wants to lay down so early.

Ashlyn was very restless Wednesday night into Thursday morning. She ended up in bed with us, but acted like she was getting sick. When she finally answered us she said her feet were hurting. So we assume it may be growing pains, or at least we hope that’s what it is. My mom and dad offered to keep her last night so we could get some rest/sleep. We took them up on the offer. I think Lori was in bed around 8:30 or 9:00 and I was right behind her around 9:30 p.m. We both slept until 7:00 this morning.

One of us will let you know how the appointment goes tomorrow.

9 Years ago today...

At my computer this morning I began to think "What is so special about today?" I thought for a moment then, it hit me.

9 Years ago today I was working at the church trying to fix our light, then I saw her. You see it was a workday at Bays Mountain, the ladies were in the fellowship hall and the men were doing other things. So I got a friend to scope out the situation. After he gave me the go ahead, I asked Lori out to see a movie.

I picked her up at her house, and drove to West Towne Mall to see "Keeping the Faith". A little less than a month later we started dating, a year after that we were engaged, and another year+ we were married. The rest as they say is History.

Just to update you on the pregnancy, Lori is doing good, her morning sickness is subsiding. She had been getting sick almost daily and all day long. Now it is just periodically, but her biggest problem now is Fatigue. She is literally tired all the time.

Hopefully this weekend will help, you see we're getting away from everything this weekend, just Lori, Ashlyn and me.

FW:

This was at the mall the other night. Ashlyn and I had a date, so we stopped by to let her play a little bit, then went for ice cream.

New Baby

Hello everyone! I cannot tell you how excited I am about the new baby. The Lord has truly blessed us. Ashlyn is excited. I am nervous though. I haven’t been to my doctor yet and it seems like it has taken forever for March 5^th to get here. Now it is just 4 days away and I’m excited. The one question that probably gets on my nerves the most is “Are you happy/excited?” Of course I’m excited and happy. This is a precious child that I’m blessed to carry. Just thinking about everything about this baby is being formed in my womb: the face, ears, hands, nose, toes, hair. It is truly amazing and an amazing feeling. Another question that kind of gets on my nerves is “What are you hoping for?”. Well if you know my family you know we all hope for a boy, but we will be happy no matter the sex of the baby as long as they are healthy. I will try to keep the blog updated as the pregnancy moves along.
