Starting a Blog....

Hello everyone and welcome to our family blog. I was inspired by my friend Christy who started a blog here since she and her hubby relocated to Kentucky and thought this was a great way to keep friends and family up to date on how we are doing. It also saves me from doing mass emails to everyone as this is much easier and people can check it when they have time. I know I get a ton of emails daily from friends and relatives asking how we are doing and sometimes I just don't have the chance to get them answered regularly.



As for what we are up to- We are celebrating our 2 year anniversary on Monday, October 1st. I can't believe it has been 2 years already, then again we will be together 6 years total next week as well. Tony leaves next week on a training assignment with his reserve unit. I don't know much other than that and he'll be gone a week or two. Since he's going to be gone, I thought that would be a great time to Kickstart my Party Lite business. I'm working with a great group of women and enjoy the entrepeneurship and the empowerment it gives women. Corporate America was stealing my soul and I don't want to work for anyone else ever again if I can help it.



We went to the doctor for a prenatal appointment on Wednesday 9/26 and everything is going well. I'm 16 weeks along at this point and I feel pretty good. The morning sickness has gone away for the most part and other than the backpain, I feel fantastic. I'm sure not working has a lot to do with it. No ultrasound this time but the baby was cooperating so we could hear the heartbeat through the Doppler radar thingy. I have lost 5 pounds in the last 4 weeks but they measured my belly/uterus and baby is growing, probably sucking up all my nutrients. I'm eating well- I just get full easily so I try to make sure I eat 5 or 6 times a day. When I go back next month, it will be a 2.5 hour appointment as we will do a more extensive ultrasound and meet again with the doctor. We told the dr again that we want to be surprised about the sex of the baby, not in a hurry to find out.
