I did it. I told Aaron that after the baby arrives Mike and I plan for me to only work part time. I debated back and forth on whether to say anything, or to say anything this soon, or all the other what-if's and should-I's. In the end my conscience got to me (yes I have one of those for all you doubting Thomas's out there ( Read more... )

Pregnancy is kicking my ass today. Between the nose bleed I can't seem to stop ever since I blew my nose, the morning sickness and gagging I'm having, and the diarrhea I've woken up with I'm not having a good day. And to top it all off I get to go in to work in about 40 minutes, yippee ( Read more... )

I love the way Mike smells when he gets out of the shower. That fresh, clean smell when his skin is still a little damp even though he's dried off with a towel. I can't describe it but I love it!

Soon we will be welcoming Caitlin Nicole Donahue into the world. Since I've decided posting pictures on here is useless cause it never works just go to http://crystalandmike.shutterfly.com and you can see all the ultra sound pictures (I'm told copying and pasting the link works better than clicking on it) ! We're so happy and excited. Yay!

Will it be a boy or a girl? We'll soon find out. Any last minute voters feel free to chime in. We have our ultra sound tomorrow so hopefully the baby is laying right and we'll be able to tell. I had a dream about it last night and in my dream we were told there is an 80% chance it is a boy. But dreams are just dreams so we'll see what happens. ( Read more... )

Ok baby, you and I have to have a little talk. Mommy loves you very much. But Mommy doesn't love when you wake me up early in the morning by kicking me hard. See, Mommies and Daddies need all the rest they can get before thier little bundle of joy arrives when sleep becomes a thing of the past. So what do you say we reach a compromise, I'll get use ( Read more... )

Since Wendi asked so nicely, here are a couple pics of how my belly looks right now. I revise what I told Yin, I would say I'm carrying mid to low. You be the judge:

Ok, I don't know how to do one of those fancy surveys like some of you know how to make on here, but I thought I'd take a poll (just for fun). Since we will find out the baby's sex next month I thought why not find out what everyone thinks we are having. Anyone can vote. Who thinks the baby will be a girl and who thinks it is a boy? You can also ( Read more... )

Well we had our baby appointment again today. The doctor says the baby is very healthy and very active. It was so cute, the baby was playing hide and seek with the doctor today when she was trying to get the heartbeat. Every time she'd find it the baby moved to the other side of my belly. It was funny. We have our ultra sound scheduled for October ( Read more... )

Well time for the long awaited update. Well, as most of you know my mom came out to visit for a little over a week (she left Monday). I had the week off which was awesome! We did all sorts of stuff. Her and Mike painted the nursery (it looks amazing) yes I will send pics out when I find the printer port so be checking your email in the next few ( Read more... )
