We have a new niece!

Monica had her baby today, Leah Kayte Allen. She weighed 7lbs. 6oz. and was 20 inches long. She is so beautiful! She reminds me of Colton because of her lips and chin. She has my baby toe...bless her heart! She'll be made fun of for that! We're so happy everything is okay, and she'll probably be very spoiled!

8/21/08 Second Doctor Appt.

We went back today for an ultrasound, and there was a heartbeat!! We are so happy, and it was a little emotional for me to see that little heart beating away! That is the greatest gift of all. It is truly a miracle from above! Our doctor moved my due date to April 8, 2009, but we will be doing a c-section the last week of March. He told me and Heath to pick a date, and we'd do it. So, I am now 7 weeks and 1 day, and I lost 3 pounds since my last appointment on the 8th. It seems like it's going to go by very slowly!

8/13/08 First Day of the Real World

It is 5 days before school starts, and I get a call to come to work to be a kindergarten teacher for this year. I'm very excited about getting back to work, but I haven't worked since March. Heath is excited about my new job, and we both know it will help take my mind off of things that's happened and our long road of pregnancy again. I didn't realize how much work getting a classroom together 5 days before school starts is going to be. I can't wait to meet my kids on the 18th. I'm sure there will be a lot of crying on the first day of kindergarten...just hope one of them is not me!

First Doctor Appointment 8/8/08

Today, I went to the doctor for the first time. I had all of my blood work done and a checkup. We did an ultrasound to confirm my pregnancy. According to the ultrasound, I'm 5 weeks and 2 days and, it's too early to see a baby. There is only a sac there. My due date for now is March 30, 2009. We will come back in two weeks to check for a baby and a heartbeat. We are very excited, yet very scared. We can't wait to hear a hearbeat!
