Doctors Appointment #2!

Well, Patrick and I went to the 11 week appointment today! It went really well. We were expecting to hear the heartbeat through the dopplar, but we couldn't find it, which is okay. The doctor did another ultrasound, and we were able to see the baby again and the fast little heart beating. His/her heartrate was 162 bpm. Twice as fast as ours. Technology is amazing...they were able to measure the baby, and the baby is exactly where it needs to be for how far along it is. So it went really well. Our next appointment will be on April 7th. Another 4 weeks of anxiously waiting. Anyways...I have gained a little pooch. Most of my pants are pretty tight, I just leave them unbuttoned : ).





Stay tuned...

Rodeo!

Well...another week has come and gone. The biggest field trip of each year at Yellowstone is going to the Houston Livestock Show at the Rodeo. Pre K through 3rd graders go each year, and even though it is one of the best field trips of the year...it is also the most exhausting field trip of the year. I only had two kids in my group, but they wore me out. Each child is given 12 dollars and they can only use this money for food, which the kids love. They are in awe at all the food that the rodeo offers. It's the first thing they all want to do...even if it is 10:00 in the morning and we just got there. Some ate nachos, hamburgers, cinnamon rolls, and of course, alligator on a stick...yuck!! Then to top it all off, the largest order of Dip N' Dots. We saw chicks hatching, pigs and cows in labor, pigs racing for oreos, and more and more food. Here are some pictures of our day at the rodeo!

It's Finally Time...to Blog

I've given in...I know so many people who have blogs, and I keep up with my friends who blog, but I on the other hand struggle to keep up with these things. I have started several of these and each time I have failed to keep it up so I end up deleting them. So at my last attempt to blog, I told myself that when Patrick and I got pregant, I would start a blog. Now it's time.

As most of you know, Patrick and I found out that we are expecting a sweet baby on September 26th. We found out that I was pregnant on January 21st and it was a moment you dream of...yet it was still so incredibly surreal. I wish I could have bottled up those emotions that were racing through my body and kept them. Poor Patrick, on the other hand, had different feelings. I woke him up at 5:45 AM and yelled, "I'm pregnant!" His first response was, "What? No your not." Then the excitement kicked in....

My pregnancy so far has been a bit yucky...but thanks to the sweet gift of medicine that my doctor prescribed me I have had a great week. My first great week in awhile, which I am so grateful for. Anyways...Patrick and I are so excited about this new journey that we have begun, I will do my best to keep this updated about the pregnancy and our lives!
