I'm Feeling Blue - But In The Best Way!

Well today was a great day!! We found out I'm having a BOY!! Quite a surprise and we are super excited! I don't think the smile has left Tony's face since he left the Dr.'s office! He is definitely on cloud 9. So new territory for my family. After 8 girls between me, my sisters and our girls I think we're all excited to learn how to raise a boy! Now the name game begins!

Fun With Cousins

This weekend we went to visit Derek, Kelli & Xavier in North Carolina! Got to see their new house - which is absolutely gorgeous! They treated us to a Mud Cats baseball game on Saturday night, which was so fun - especially since the Mud Cats won!! Then on Sunday Kelli and I took the kids to the pool!! Big thanks to Derek and Kelli for their hospitality - we had fun hanging out!!

Halfway There!

Well, today is officially my halfway point - if you take the dates the Dr.'s tell you! But it's a cool point to know I've passed. I'm 140 days along, and I have 140 days to go. Whew!! All downhill from here! Ha!!

Beer Belly or Baby Belly?

Well, the whole point of this blog was to keep up on the baby status. So, I guess I owe a pic of how I'm popping along. I took this pic myself at work, and stuck my belly out the best I could - which I also do when I'm out in public! Must emphasize it's baby belly! I know soon I'll be wishing for the smaller belly. Although I am past the point of wearing loose shirts and regular pants - they're all tight now anyway! So I've shifted my entire wardrobe to my maternity shirts and pants, and I'm much more comfortable!! I can't believe in just over four months a new addition will be here! But if I recall, those last two or three months will seem like an eternity, so I know there will be plenty of time for it to sink in!

He's Still a Ford Truck Man

I almost forgot, Tony got to get a new/used truck yesterday! It's super nice, too! That's the good news. The bad news is we now have a car payment - yuk! Oh well, it was inevitible. Tony went to 7-11 the other day and I was on the porch when he pulled out of the driveway. His truck sounded like it was going to fall apart! So, while we still had the option of the trade-in we went ahead and said goodbye to Big Blue. It was kind-of sad leaving his old truck, it had been very good to us over the last 6 years!! And we used it hard over those 6 years. But this new truck is so nice - leather seats, and it has the full four doors, with plenty of room in the back for the new car seat!

B-day Party at Bluebird Gap Farm

Today Annabelle and I went to a birthday party at Bluebird Gap Farm. It was such a fun time, despite the 95+ degree day. Fortunately everything was set up under a huge canopy so we had shade and a nice breeze. The girls took off and looked at all the animals, so I didn't get any pics of them enjoying them, but plenty of them enjoying cake!

Baltimore

We went up to Baltimore for the weekend to see the Sox take on the O's. Always a good time - especially when the Sox win!! Derek and Kelli battled the traffic to come up and watch Saturday's game with us. We had such a good time! Then we hit the Aquarium on Sunday before heading home. Annabelle had a good time - since Sunday was all about her!
