Careful what you blog about...

So apparently when you blog about everyone else being pregnant, it happens to you!


Joe and I found out about a week and a half ago that we are pregnant. We are probably about 7 weeks along, but don't go to the doctor until the 10th of September. To say I'm nervous is an understatement. You watch all of these people you know go through pregnancy and you think awww that's great, awww how cute, awww what an ugly/cute name/baby, but when it happens to you it really is totally different. I have these moments of anxiety where I think what if the baby has something wrong with it, a heart defect, a growth defect, what if its a dwarf, and all other kinds of crazy thinking. If any of you are tv freaks like me and watch Tori & Dean, Tori always thought up crazy things that could be wrong with her baby...I now know why!

When I went to Baby Views with Jessica to find out the sex of her baby (girl), it was so nice to hear that the baby looked healthy. They measured her for chromosome defects that lead to Downs and other diseases and she looked great. I can't wait for that day to get here. I will have to wait another 10 weeks to find out if the doctor thinks my baby is healthy, and another 33 weeks to find out for sure....this is just wild!

All that being said, we are so ecstatic!! We weren't trying for this, but we are definitely blessed by it! Say a little prayer for me that I don't have a nervous break down before April 21st though!!

We've been looking at names already and have eliminated quite a few from my list. Give me your opinion on the following:

Boys-middle name is Wayne
Kyler
Camden
Grayson

Girls-middle name is Gray
Ellison
Landry
Ramsey
Jamison

Let me know what you think!

It's Football/Volleyball Season!

One of the many things that I adore about my husband is that he is a coach! I have always loved playing sports and watching sports, so thanks to Joe, I get to do it all the time now. His first football game is Friday night and I am really pumped about it. There is something about sports that brings a community together....(I'll have to admit that some parts of the community I would rather not see)

This volleyball season brings a first for me-I will be officiating junior and senior high volleyball games at Sheridan, Bryant, and Malvern this year with my mother-in-law to make some good extra $$. The rules of the game have changed quite a bit since I played 9 years ago, but I think I can handle it. I really am looking forward to it-we start next Monday night at Sheridan.

I guess sports just make me feel young again. They remind me of how I felt when I played and how carefree and simple I lived my life. To be honest, my life really isn't that different. Still with the same guy, still live life with a carefree nature, still act like I'm 16...that can be a good thing or bad thing....I'm just glad that the season is here and that we are going to be constantly on the go!

oh baby....

it seems like every woman i know is either pregnant, or has a great friend that is pregnant. i am constantly listening to baby names, how much you are supposed to weigh at each visit, when you find out the sex, how sex is when you're pregnant, what your hoo-haw looks like post pregnancy, etc. i absolutely love it! i really do! i am completely jealous that people are preg and going through all of this and i have NO idea what they are talking about.

don't get me wrong-i'm not in baby mode, ( my husband has a very precise plan of attack for the baby sitution...i'll save that for another blog...) but doesn't it totally suck when you are clueless on something that it seems like everyone else knows. the mouton's were at our house this week and heather was rubbing on her belly, talking about names (kelsey or asher...totally cute), and a whole host of things. i'm sure that i was annoying her because i think i asked 7452 questions!!

the good new is, i am getting to experience something friday that i have never done before. i am going with jessica jo to her babyviews appointment to find out what she is having for sure!! isn't that the coolest thing ever! i will be in the room when one of my best friends finds out if she is having an avery or a...well...logan/duncan/gable/boy name of the week. i can't wait!!!!!!

****and don't worry, i already have a list ten miles long of possible baby names...see last post...feel free to ask for them***
