My Changing World...

On August 15th my and Jim's life changed forever. We found out we are expecting a baby!! Today was my (our?) first OB appointment. The Ultrasound tech and Dr. both said everything looks great! We saw the spine (baby had it's back to us) and she also pointed out arms and legs, though I don't know how she knew that's what they were. We got to hear the heartbeat and baby moving around like a maniac! I am due in early April and will be 12 weeks this Thursday. So exciting!!! I'm really looking forward to being a mom and can't wait for all the ups and downs of parenthood. I hope being an Aunt for the past 18 years has given me a good head start! :-)



I will scan the Ultrasound picture when I am in Pueblo this weekend for the Bell Game. Go Bulldogs!!

Two Peas in a Pod!

We had the Hinkhouse Baby Shower last Saturday. So much fun!! I can't express how excited I am to see those little guys. It's gotta be close to Jenn and Brandon's own excitement!! Good food, great company, and I actually felt pretty good all day! (More to come on that comment later!) I had a great time working on the shower and am so happy for the new little family!!

Kassidy's 7th Birthday

Aunt Amanda was a couple weeks late this year, but when we were down to Pueblo last, she got her gifts. We also got to see Michelle's new puppy Smokey and the chickens who have grown so much!
