2011: The year of the baby
Holy cow do I have a lot of pregnant friends!
Here is a list of my family and friends (off the top of my head) who are currently pregnant or just gave birth this year:
My favorite cousin Jen (she and I are 2 weeks apart in age): Gave birth to Rylan in April.
Liz Myers Gleason: Twin girls due in July.
Lacy Rieger Akkerman: Baby boy due in August
My cousin Tarah: Baby girl due in September.
Megan Hartwig Williams: Baby girl due in late October/Early November.
Maegan Manning McNeely: Baby boy due in October.
Christy Meyer-Litchfield: Baby ? due in November (Update: BABY BOY!!)
Me: Due in December!
And those are just the girls that I'm close to! It seems like everyone is having babies and what a blessing it is to have so many pregnant friends right now. :)
For the past 5 days I've been in Longview visiting my folks, seeing friends, and I also got the honor of co-hosting my dear friend Lacy's baby shower. Lacy and I have been friends since 3rd grade and I love that we can go months without talking and pick up just like we saw each other yesterday. Luckily we're usually in touch a little more than that. Lacy's baby shower was so cute and she was literally showered with gifts - more presents than I've ever seen at one given time! How wonderful to prepare for the arrival of sweet little Camden Drew Akkerman. :)
Here are some pics from this weekend:
Pregnant friends!
Daddy caught me laughing - Abby, Jen, and me after dinner.
Me and Baby Rylan. He was so good, except for right here. He got a little fussy because his bottle wasn't coming fast enough. :)
Me and Ms. Abby, my God daughter. She's so funny!

Happy Birthday Kel
Today we went over to Kelli's house to celebrate her birthday with her family and friends. While this might seem morbid to some, it is what Kel would have wanted. She loved bringing people together which is why I am friends with so many different people that seem to only have one thing in common, we all loved Kelli. On the way to Kelli's, C and I stopped and got some pink balloons to release. Upon releasing them this afternoon, they didn't seem to climb very quickly but did drift west. I decided they were going to the mall, which is exactly what Kelli would have wanted to do today. We miss and love you so much friend. Happy Birthday!
Birthday Kelli! :)
Kel and I on her birthday in 2009, last year she was in Venice for her birthday so we didn't get a pic.
Birthday Kelli! :)

Fore!
Yesterday Casey and I went golfing with my in-laws at Willow Creek Country Club. It was beautifully breezy and sunny outside so the heat wasn't too bad. Having been on the golf team in high school I used to play golf literally daily, but when I quit the golf team I pretty much stopped playing all together. I would go to the driving range from time to time, but overall I stopped getting out on the course and playing. It was really nice to be out on the course and I can't wait to go again! Now if I can just get that slice under control...

Babies, Babies, Babies!
They say when you get pregnant it seems like everyone is pregnant, well in my case they are!
Last weekend I went to Fort Worth to Liz's twin baby shower. Yes that's right, Liz is having TWIN girls that are due in July! Along with Liz, there are 4 other pregnant ZTAs, all of which got married last year - crazy huh? Liz is due in July, Megan in October, Christy in November, and me in December! Here we are lined up for our bump shot!
Here's Liz opening the Princess Onesies I got her - gotta love that 5 point crown!
SFA Zetas
After the shower Christy and I decided to stay one more night (we had both originally planned to head home after the shower) and I am so glad we did. We met up with Natalie and Ashley at a cute little part of Fort Worth called West 7th (I think). We ate at a restaurant called Patrizio's that I assumed was going to be expensive because it looked so swanky, but was super reasonable! Yay for time with my girls!
I am so lucky to have such wonderful college friends. I'm not friends with that many of my high school friends because I graduated a year early, but I am so blessed to have these girls. Love my ZTAs!

Oh so tired...
I really hate being tired and sick with this beautiful weather. For the past week I have been cooped up inside because I have had some kind of disgusting sinus infection thing. I am miserable and all I want to do is go play outside or take a nice run. BLAH!
That is all.
That is all.

...and Baby Makes Three!
Yes it's true! No April Fool's this time!
We found out on Easter weekend that we are expecting our first child and we are due on Christmas!
How crazy that the two holiest days of the year will bring/have brought us so much joy!?
I have been bursting at the seams to share this joyous news, but alas I have been told several times to "be careful" and not to get too excited because "anything could happen". I hate that I haven't felt comfortable enough to scream it from the rooftop, but at this stage in the game, I've decided that it's our life and what happens happens. Having said that I am still very afraid of the big "M".
So far I have been experiencing some pretty intense morning sickness (aka "all day sickness"), serious exhaustion, and an overall icky feeling. My face has exploded with blemishes making me look like an adolescent meth addict and my entire head region is an oil factory. Delightful. I'm still waiting for this "pregnancy glow" that everyone talks about. Hopefully I will feel better soon because I want to be full of energy and life to prepare for the next 8 months.
We had our first sonogram on May 23rd and it was incredible. As soon as I saw the heartbeat I started crying. What an incredible blessing. Casey and his mom were there as well and it was such a cool moment that we got to experience together. I love love love our obstetrician and I am looking forward to working with her (plus she's a fellow blogger so that's cool). Baby Page's heartbeat was 160 and it was even moving around and waving at us. It was a truly incredible experience.. I just can't say that enough. We're going to be parents... WOW!
