Rotten Randy and Happy Halloween!

Just a little background - I will be 15 weeks on Tuesday. We didn't tell our parents about Randy until I was 8 weeks and our friends until I was almost 13 weeks. Look at all of the loot that Randy has received in the short time that s/he's new has been unleashed! I wanted to take time (even though I already sent Thank You notes) to give a big THANK YOU. It really makes my heart feel all warm and fuzzy that people are just as excited as we are. I vote my friends/family the best and since it's my blog my vote is the only one that counts.
So just a quick list...

My Mom and Dad gave us the sock monkey and The Night Before Christmas book. I love, love, love the sock monkey and had told her before we were pregnant that when it was our turn I had to have one. Thanks for pulling through Mom!!! The cute Pumpkin outfit, bibs and Halloween plate came from my friend Stacey at work. The outfit is so soft I wish I could get in it myself. The Famous Sophie is a very sweet gift from Kimmie. She is probably one of the 3 people that reads this blog! The Redneck pacis are compliments of Jamie and Carrie Ann. Don't worry, Baby Wright is due in 6 weeks and I might have something up my sleeve. Carrie Ann also gave me some fabulous books and a Mom Calendar (she thinks I'm unorganized). They are not technically for Randy but I still had to mention them! The cute stickers in the back are from Misty. I've never seen them before but they are a fabulous idea! Stickers 0-12 and you can put them on onsies to take monthly pictures. Great idea!!! The toys and other pacis are from Rick and Eve (MIL & FIL). They gave us some other stuff as well but it is gender specific - we will find out soon if they were correct!!!

So again - thank you so much everyone!!! I can't imagine how rotten Randy will be once s/he gets here!!!

I'm passing out Halloween candy as I am sitting here updating the blog. So far I've had 4 trick or treaters - Buzz Light Year, a Butterfly and two others that I have no idea what they were b/c Grant was the one who answered the door. It reminds me how fun Halloween was a child...who am I kidding we went to a Halloween party this weekend and it was still fun to dress up!!! Grant, Katie and RJ and myself went as the Ghost Busters.

Yes, we had inflatable Proton packs and guns that were AMAZING!

I wasn't a very good picture taker, so I really only have action shots of some "games" but I did get this beauty...
You can't tell, but CA is pregnant....like for real. Her and Jamie came as a Shotgun wedding. I love the look and I'm impressed that she pulled it off!! Some other costumes to mention were a nurse, doctor, 2 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Augusta National Caddies and Top Gun pilots. We had a lot of fun and although I didn't drink I am paying for it today...so tired!

Okay, I think this post has been long enough. Thank you if you actually read it all! Check back in on Tuesday for Randy's big 15 week reveal. I think you might be able to see a difference now ;).

Oh and I almost forgot - GO GATORS!!!! It was a stressful game I'm glad our boys pulled it out!!!

Happy 14 Weeks Randy and the Weekend!

Lets start off with the boring part of this post - the weekend. We had a very low key weekend and it was great! This is the first weekend in a long time that we haven't had any plans and we took advantage of it. Saturday afternoon we got out and actually went to a movie, first one in almost a year I might add! We saw The Town with Ben Affleck (yes please) and it was VERY good!!! I highly recommend it! Other than that we picked out pumpkins and I did a little fall decorating. Like I said... boring!



Today Randy is 14 weeks! This is the start of the second trimester, rumor is you're supposed to magically feel better and have all of your energy back. While I can say I do not feel sick anymore I am still tired but that is about it so I guess I can't complain. Here is a picture of me at 14 weeks try to ignore how I look and yes I'm rocking my kickball t-shirt.

Today s/he is the size of a lemon. I love how on the website they always compare your child to a piece of fruit. Anyways we have a big weekend planned - I hope everyone has a happy Halloween! Go Gators!

Happy 13 Weeks Randy!!

Before I start this post I should explain who Randy is...Randy is the baby. No we do not know if Randy is a boy or a girl and NO if Randy is a boy we are NOT naming him Randy (no disrespect to the Randys out there). Randy is the name my husband thought of one morning at breakfast with some friends. He just said it out loud and everyone laugh and it has stuck. So when I refer to Randy I'm talking about Baby Chiles.


Okay - moving on....



Wow - I can't believe it has already been 13 weeks. This pregnancy is flying by, with that said I know that some of my prego friends are cursing me and probably thinking I will be singing a different tune when I'm 30 weeks but for right now the first 13 flew by and to be honest I'm glad they are behind me! I was a nervous wreck from the minute I found out until last Thursday so it is nice to be able to sit back and enjoy this, at least until I find something else to stress about!!!

Another exciting thing this week is my Mom is here until Wednesday and when I came home from work last night she had dinner ready - rice and tomatoes my favorite!!

And finally here is a picture of me at 13 weeks - I don't think you can see much although my clothes would probably tell you something different!!! If you do see something I blame it on dinner or the fact that I had that before I got pregnant!

I'm excited to have one more week under my belt. Hopefully I can figure out how to upload our ultrasound pics soon!

22 months...

That is how long I have been waiting to start a blog so I can finally announce that we’re PREGNANT!!!!!




Baby Chiles is due April 26th, 2011!! To say we are excited is an understatement! I have blog stalked my friends and if I’m being honest random people as well, for years and swore when I got pregnant I would start one of my own. I never thought it would take this long but better late than never. I must admit I’m pretty excited about the blog and of course the baby!! Tomorrow will be 13 weeks and so far I have been feeling good, nothing worth complaining about yet!

My goal is to keep this blog updated on a regular basis so please check back, I'm sure there will be more exciting posts to come!
