Random update...

Ok, ok, I know it has been a long time. I haven't had much going on lately. Today is my last day as a long-term substitute teacher at AMS. I am sad, because I will miss the kids and all of my wonderful teacher friends. However, my feet are really starting to hurt as the days go by, and I could use the rest. Only 5 weeks until Olivia is here! Her room is all ready for her, with the exception of her name on the wall. I bought these really cute letters to spell out her name, but Hobby Lobby didn't have an L. I have been waiting for about 6 weeks now, and they still don't have an L. We bought a J and are going to use it upside-down and then cut off part of it...and then it will look like an L. Grrr...why can't they just order a stinking L. Katie calls her Ojivia as a joke, but Eric doesn't like it. :) Well, not much else to say and I have to finish getting ready for school. These are last night's belly shots...during a commercial of CSI. What a great season opener!

Aww, how sweet!

Eric and I were just sitting in the office talking about Olivia when we looked down and found Lupe like this...we DID NOT stage her like this at all. Isn't she precious?

Kelly Belly!!!

Just a quick update of how my belly has grown...see for yourself in the pictures. I've posted 2 so you can see that black really is slimming! :) They were taken about 2 minutes apart from each other, which was about 10 minutes ago. Quite a difference from my 20 week belly shot. 29 weeks down, 11 weeks to go! :)

Meet the puppies!

While I was home, my sister snapped a shot of my childhood dog, Wiggles, and me. We got her when I was in 5th grade, so I was only 10 when I named her. She's now 14 years old. She is a good dog, but is very demanding. She is just a tad bit spoiled by both of my parents. My mom takes her on about 3 walks per day, which would make you wonder why she is not extremely skinny. I'll tell you why. My dad makes her a cheeseburger every single night! SPOILED! If my parents are half as generous to our baby as they are to Wiggles, she'll be set! :) We can't forget Lupe in this post. She has been following me around day and night. It is almost as if she knows something is going on. She is obsessed about being in the nursery. She'll do whatever it takes to get in there and stay in there while we are working. Silly doggie. She's about to have a little sister whether she likes it or not!

What a talented Katie!

So, the diaper cake that you see was made by our very own Katie Allen! Not only did she make that, but she make the edible cake, the one with all the adorable baby jungle animals on it! We all wonder now why she is a teacher, when she could clearly become a baby shower consultant. :) One of my favorite gifts (and Eric's too) is the "daddy belt" that we were given. It is full of things that Eric will need to change our baby's diaper, seeing as how he's only changed ONE diaper in his entire life, and it was not a poopy one! He practiced on our neighbor's little boy Micah. Poor Micah, it took Eric quite some time to get it on. :) Less than 3 months to go!

Baby showers!

The top two are from my Indiana shower...





Recently Eric and I went back to Indiana to visit and for a wedding and baby shower. We had a really great time, and got some really great things! :) Then, the next weekend, my friends here threw me a baby shower, which was awesome! Between the two showers, we pretty much got everything we need and tons more! I'll just let the pictures do the talking! Also, you can click on our online album to see more if you'd like. Family and friends ROCK!

Latest news...

Sorry for the long delay in between the last posts, but there wasn't much to report. I am now 25.5 weeks and doing very well. The pictures above are from the ultrasound we had done last Thursday. I'm very excited to be going to Indiana to visit my family and friends tomorrow! :) My great friend Jennyb is getting married to an awesome guy, so I am anticipating a very fun wedding! My sister and sister-in-law are throwing me a baby shower, which I am totally pumped about. I know that will be mega fun as well. I think it will be a very cool trip to Indiana and I'm sure I'll have pictures to post when I get back!
