May Updates

May was a busy month for our family. We’ve done a bit of traveling and have had family visiting from out of town. We were in Houston at the beginning of the month for a baby shower in honor of my sister and I. If I have not mentioned it yet, my sister and I are both pregnant and due within a day of each other!!! “HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?”—God’s doing!! Total coincidence, we were just as surprised as you when we first learned that they were pregnant and due a day before us!! Crazy huh? But exciting at the same time! This is their first baby, so they are in cloud nine as they await the arrival of their little girl—oh, they found out they are having a girl—so we had lots of pink at the shower. As for us, it will be a mystery until the day baby arrives—so for us, we brought home a lot of yellows and greens once again. We had our 20 week ultrasound this month—I can’t remember exactly when—but I’m happy to report that EVERYTHING is well. Thank you all for your prayers for us—they were answered and my nerves were in check the entire time. I was not nervous or scared at all walking into the exam, and we walked out of there with huge smiles on our faces knowing that the baby was growing well, and the placenta had attached in a good place this time—it was not low lying like with our first pregnancy.

We also traveled to Orlando, FL to visit our friends who moved there shortly before we were married. They are expecting their first child as well, due in July!! Lots of babies this year! We took Katherine to Sea World, The Magic Kingdom in Disney World, and we went to the beach one afternoon. Our trip was a lot of fun! Our favorite was Sea World, probably for the simple reason that we went during the week and it was nice and breezy out. Our trip to the Magic Kingdom was on a Saturday and it was super hot, sunny and there seemed to be very little wind that afternoon. We really enjoyed all the shows at seaworld, but our favorites we would have to say were the Dolphin show and the Little Pet show! At the Magic Kingdom, Katherine really enjoyed the tea cup ride and the buzz lightyear ride.

Just this last weekend we had grandma Sue come to visit and that was a whole lot of fun! We had not seen her in almost a year, so we really enjoyed spending quality time with her, and she was amazed to see how grown up Katherine was since the last time she saw us. We also got a great surprise to learn Thursday evening that my sister and her husband would also be here for the weekend. We had a wonderful time with them!! My sister and I got to take pictures together, since this will probably be the last time we see each other before babies arrive. Enjoy some of our latest pictures.
