Stage 2....

Hi everyone! This is just a quick update. Oh and I forgot to put my due date on the last entry! ...... DRUM ROLL PLEASE... (okay that soooo did not have the effect I wanted) October 29 is our big date, well at least for the time being :)
Where I am at.... I have been feeling great for the most part! I did have my first run in with ... "morning sickness" which hit right around 2 pm for me. I am not even sure if that is what i would call it but to say the least me and one of the stalls at work had a face to face meeting. Okay okay too many details! Well needless to say i do not think the little alien is very fond of me eating peppers for the time being. Besides that and the occasional hot flash i have been feeling great!
I have had to graduate from my "skinny clothes" is what I am calling them now :( To be expected though. I packed them all up in a big Tupperware tub, said my farewells and my hope to see you again soon!
Oh!!! I almost forgot, we signed the lease on a rental house! So PJ and I will be moving into a 3 bedroom one bath house on May 1st! The house has an attached garage, unfinished basement and great backyard with a privacy fence for lewy! :) I am going to try and get some pictures of it posted here in the next few days, so stay tuned!
With all our love,
Katie, PJ and Baby ( little alien)

BIG NEWS!

Hello to all!  Well since I have gotten you this far it is time to share the big news.... PJ & I are expecting a baby!  

We found out about a month ago on a Saturday.  I think we went through all the reactions of parents to be.... scared, excited, happy, nervous, and I am sure there are about 20 million other emotions we felt all in one rush when we looked down and saw the little plus!  We had much to plan and to start thinking about! First and foremost was the doctors appointment to make sure everything was on schedule and looking healthy.  After setting that up it was on to telling our immediate family. PJ got to his family first. When he told him mom she was excited to hear the news! Pj's dad was packing up his brothers car seat when his mom stopped him and said. "well you better keep that out for one more, we will be needing it!" 

Now onto my Parents... When we found out my parents were a day away from heading out to Europe. So we decided it would be a good idea to wait until they got back to share the news.  I called my mom the Tuesday after they returned... "Mom I have some big news.... I am pregnant!" Her reaction was very Hanna like ( for those of you who know my mom) .... "Oh Katie! Life brings us such wonderful and exciting things!" I talked with her about having dinner the next night and telling my dad... well after hanging up a got a phone call 15 minuets later from my dad... "Hey dad! what's up" and the next part was music to my ears.... "Well I guess you are going to have to start calling me grandpa!" in an extremely jubilant voice :) 

So here we are! I am 11 weeks and 4 days pregnant! We have been to the doctors twice once for my first checkup and once for our first sonogram! At our first appointment we were able to hear the baby's heartbeat! It was the craziest thing I have ever heard, so fast  and steady... and to imagine that the little alien, what I refer to the baby as at the moment, was growing inside of me! The sonogram was just as amazing if not more! The picture came up right away and all I could do was stare... it was the most amazing moment in my life up to this point! The best part was the little one was waving at us! The nurse doing the sonogram pointed out this little white dot behind the baby's head that was moving back and forth and said, "look he/she is waving at you!" It was my little sign that the baby was saying. "Hi mommy and daddy! I can not wait to  meet you!"

That was just this past Friday.I decided since we had met our little alien for the first time it was about time to introduce him/her to the family!

I know that this probably comes as shock to all of you, but I SO MUCH look forward to sharing the HAPPINESS and JOY that a new baby brings into a family's life!

I will keep the blog updated for every doctors appointment and little kick to come! Please feel free to post a comment if you would like!

I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying their spring!

With all our love,

Katie, PJ and Baby
