Merry Christmas!

Mark and I were blessed in that we got to spend lots of quality time with both of our families over this holiday season. I forgot my camera at his families get togethers, however have some from mine.

The first is of Evan being a goof.



Evan did really well opening his gifts!



Here are the three PREGOS. For those that don't know. Left to right. Jessica, my sister is due on Feb 20th. Me in the middle I'm due the 19th of Feb, and Stacy, my sister-in-law, is due the 21st of Jan.



No one is paying attention, but here is a front view.

31 Weeks

Tummy UPDATE!
Here is a view from the side of me at seven-and-a-half
months. I can't believe it already!!




A close up of the tummy live an in person...

Hadley's Siblings

Because we love to torture our animals, we
wanted to share a picture of PABST, our jack
russel, with a winter cap on!!!!


This is Monty, as a kitten, my favorite picture
we have of him.

TRAVELS

Mark and I have been busy lately!!
In November we took a road-trip to Kansas
City to see Garth Brooks in concert...AMAZING!
Here was our preconcert get-up!



Last weekend we went to Chicago where we
saw Phantom of the Opera which was really
good! This is a picture of us at Christkindelmart...

UPDATE!

I know I have been slacking...
Two reasons:

1. Our latest addition (a cat) ate through
my computer AC cord...NOT PRETTY.

2. Now my camera program will not upload
pictures.

We are going to have it updated within the
weekend hopefully as the snow storm will keep
us cooped up!!

IT'S A................

Take a look at me...5 1/2 months along?!?!?





What do you think the baby is?? Look at that beauty!

Well we found on Oct 5th who will be joining us come February.



Her name is going to be Hadley Ellyce Goins and I already have more pink stuff than I knew existed?!?!?!

Ohh Baby!

So now that I'm almost 19 weeks along, we are starting to get a little crazy!!
Mark and I bought the baby's bedding yesterday...just thought you would want to see!!

SAVE THE DATE!!!

We officially have a wedding date...

OCTOBER 4TH, 2008

Keep the date open!

Baby Update

September 12th we went to the doctor for our 4 week check up. Things looked great!! The baby's heart rate was 154 with the doppler. My blood pressure was a little bit high, but we'll have to keep an eye on that!! (Can't stop eating the salt!!) Poor Mark almost passed out when I gave blood samples, this is going to be VERY interesting! This is just a happy picture of Mark and my little Man!?!!

ENGAGEMENT!!!

August 27th Mark finally popped the big question!!!! Lord knows he was his usual studly self- aka proposed on the couch, getting all nervous. Stay tuned for wedding plans!

Our Second Ultrasound!

The baby wouldn't keep it's hand out of it's face, hum stubborn like it's mom!! It's looking to the right which places its facial features on the left side of the photo.



We switched to a doctor we LOVE completely and I couldn't be any more comfortable! Not knowing my status he decided to do another ultrasound, lucky us!! This time the baby was moving all over the place. The baby has all ten fingers which is a blessing!! I also think it resembles a halloween mask at this point, but at least we know it will have a jaw and eye sockets!

Our First Ultrasound!

Look at that little peanut, originally we were given February 15th as our due date. At the time we were seeing a terrible doctor, who had no emotions that we are aware of.

Our Home

We have been blessed with this wonderful house which I have settled into FINALLY!! Mark will be joining me around December to get things ready for the baby!!
