7 months and counting :)

I can't believe how fast this pregnancy has gone! I am down to 2 1/2 months! I can't wait to meet to our new addition and to find out what we are having :) At first I thought that it would be fun to wait and find out the sex but as hormones have began to kick it... it has become harder to wait! JR has been busy working on the baby's room- painting the room two shades of green and hanging molding. We are about ready to start moving furniture into the room and putting it together. I also went to the doctor yesterday for my glucose test and everything looks perfect! So far there have been zero complications just praying that I do not end up with high blood pressure again! Bed rest does not go over well with me! Grayson is also so excited to be a big brother he can hardly wait to meet the baby!

Atlanta 3 Day Breast Cancer Walk

This weekend was AMAZING! I have to say that I have never been so touched by all the men and women that were out supporting Breast Cancer research. My best friend Molly and my sister's best friend Allyson walked in the Atlanta 3 day. They walked to fight for Allison! My sister was diagnosed with breast cancer in July and took all of her family and friends totally off guard! Since then she has had so much support so it did not surprise that our close friends would want to walk in honor! I can't wait to join their team next year and help raise money to fund breat cancer research!

24 1/2 Weeks

Today I had my 24 week check up and everything looks great. I am measuring right on and the baby's heart beat was strong! I can't believe that I am almost in my third trimester! Time really does fly! I now have to go to the doctor every three weeks and I have my glucose test at the next visit... yuck! I am feeling great just tired at times... I guess that is very normal.

Everything else is going great! JR started his new job few weeks ago and is doing great! He is a Mortage Advisor now helping people refinance. Grayson is enjoying First grade for the most part, he told me today that the work is a lot harder than last year. He liked being able to play more but now there is a lot less of that. He loves participating in Awanas at church and wants to join Cub Scouts. So it looks like we will stay busy!

First Time

So I thought I would give the blog thing a try... so here goes! There have been a lot of excitng events going on since this summer. First, we found out in May that we are expecting our second child in January and could not be happier! I am now almost 6 months along and can't wait to meet our new little addition. JR and I have decided not to find out the sex of the baby so I guess we will know soon enough :) JR keeps telling me how much fun and exciting it is not to know.... but for me it has been a bit hard! It helps so much that Grayon can't wait to be a big brother though but not knowing also has him thinking the baby could be a cactus!
Also, Grayson started First Grade this year and has a great teacher, so we could not be happier. I graduated with my Masters Degree in July and am so glad to have that accomplished before the baby gets here. So that is all of the news for now... more to come!
