5% Chance

Yesterday I went to the Dr. for my monthly checkup. I'm 18 weeks, so I was so excited to find out what we're having. Dr. Beck told me that there's a 5% chance I'll have a boy. You know what that means?!?!?!?! 95% chance it's a girl! I'm so excited, I can't wait to dress her in little dresses and get hair bows! I need to decide how I'm going to decorate her room.
I can't believe how big my stomach looks in this picture. Looking at just the picture, how far along do you think I am? I feel like I look a lot bigger than other people at 18 weeks.

Happy Birthday Stu!

Stuart's Birthday was on Tuesday the 12th. He's now 27 years old. We celebrated last night at his parents house with cake and ice-cream. You have to lick the candles!

The cake was very unusual. We eat dinner every Thursday at his parents house at 6:00pm. I get home at 5:30. So I had Stuart make his cake and put it in the oven. It was a box cake mix so I didn't think anything could go wrong. Well I was wrong. The directions called for 3 eggs, 1 1/4 cups of water, and 1/4 cup of oil. Stuart put in 3 cups of water! He didn't want to call me to ask what to do so he put it in the oven and was hoping that the extra water would evaporate out. HA! It was a very densely moist cake! It looked like a mixture between tapioca and rice pudding. I guess that's what I get for having Stuart make his own birthday cake!

First look

Here is the first picture of our baby. We don't know what the gender is yet, but hopefully next month we'll find out. Stu and the Dr. both guess that it's going to be a girl. The baby sure is moving around a lot in there. Too bad I can't feel the movement yet.

Exciting news!

Guess what? We're expecting a baby!

I'm most likely due in October, but we're not positive. I have a Dr. appointment a week from today. I'm really nervous to go to the Dr. so if you know anything that will help, or if you know of any questions I should ask let me know. I'm up for any kind of advice right now.

Great Grandma

I'm so glad I was able to briefly visit with my Great Grandma a few weeks ago. Because she passed away this morning. I know she's much happier where she is now. It must be really hard to out live most of your children. She was the funniest, sweetest lady and I'm going to miss her.

Conversation with my 100 year old Great Grandma

I got to visit a little with my Great Grandma while at my great uncles funeral a few weekends ago. She just turned 100 on December 27th, 2008. My conversation with her was very sweet and oh so funny! She has no idea who I am, and that's fine. It was still enjoyable to talk with her. Our conversation was as follows:
Me: Hi Grandma! I'm Debbie
GGMA: Oh Hi (with a confused look on her face)
Me: I'm Jolene's Daughter
GGMA: Oh Jolene!!! I love Jolene (Jolene was sitting right next to her I think she forgot she was just talking with her)
Me: Smiling, aka holding back a laugh.
GGMA: You have such nice teeth
Me: Thank you
GGMA: Mine are false
Me: That's ok, Do you want to take a picture?
GGMA: (after the picture was taken) I hope my mouth wasn't opened.
Me: Don't worry about that. It was good to talk with you.

Me and Great Grandma!Poor grandma her mouth was opened. But that's ok she just looks like she was talking!

The Bachelor

I am a little obsessed. My sister and I are having a THE Bachelor Party tonight for the finale. I had to put the in caps so it doesn't look like my sister and I are going to have a bachelor party...Yikes could be misleading. Anyway I'm so excited for the drama of DeAnna coming back! I really hope she's there to tell him she's in love with him and wants him to choose her. and I want him to rip her heart out and step on it like she did to him!
