the latest

Just a little update on what has been going on in our neck of the woods.

Ann Rae and I just got back from the lake yesterday. We had a girls only weekend, Sara, Angie, Thelma Lou (Angie's Dog) and us. It was so nice . A little nippy on the boat, but the lake was so calm and very relaxing. We also got some work done, we washed the boat and put the cover on it for the winter. Ann Rae was a big help in washing the boat. Anything involving getting wet is a sure thing for a good time in her mind. The boys, Tim and Dougie, went to the Martinsville race so they didn't feel too left out.

We found out that we are having a little boy. Doctor was pretty sure and this was the second Ultrasound that he saw the evidence. We are thrilled and I am a little nervous, our world has been princesses, baby dolls, make-up, Hannah Montana, and everything else girly for 3 years now. I don't know what to do with a boy! But I can't wait to find out! I am 22 weeks now and starting to wear the maternity clothes. I hate this stage for clothing. Regular clothes are too tight and maternity clothes are too big. You just feel sloppy all the time. I still get the headaches, not as often though, so keep me in your prayers. I get horrible car/motion sick still, but I know that will last the whole pregnancy. All in all I am doing good. I do have Placenta Preevia, not very serious now, just means I get more ultrasounds to watch and make sure that everything moves where it is supposed to. If in the event I still have it come due time all it means is a c-section. But it is still very early and I know it will be just fine.

We are planning a trip to Mobile the day after Halloween. (Stupid me booked a flight leaving at 6:15am the morning after candy overload. We have to be up at 4am. Dumb, dumb, dumb.) We can't wait! Ann Rae is so excited about flying, I am nervous about it. Especially the part where we are laid over in Atlanta for 2 hours. I think it will fly by (no pun intended) and that we will enjoy walking around in between flights. We are of course going to see Bill, Catherine, Brown and Daniel. We will be able to go to the boys ball games and spend a day at the beach. I am also looking forward to having Catherine cook ALL of our meals and wait on us hand and foot. (I know you are reading this, ha ha;) It will be so great to get out of town, too. Well I better go story time at the library starts in 15 minutes.
