Less than 90 days

We have entered the 3rd trimester!  Aaron and I are both getting very excited about meeting our son.  I know that we are not completely ready yet, but that is alright. I think most parenting is done by trial and error anyway, right? There are a thousand things left for use to do in preparation, but sticking the our true nature we will get it together, right toward the due date.  Hopefully he doesn’t come too early…

We have attended several Childbirth Preparation classes that  have done less to prepare me and more to scare me about the labor and delivery process. Just like every other first time mom I am praying for a smooth delivery and a healthy baby.

According to the doctor everything is going well with my pregnancy. I had my blood glucose tested at my last appointment, I have not received the results yet, but my doctor said that if it was high they would have contacted me to schedule the 3 hour test.  So because I haven’t been contacted I am assuming I must be within normal range.  I have been trying to keep walking, but the weather is starting to get out of control. We are expecting record highs tomorrow of 105+. Time to start looking into a gym membership! I think this is going to be  a long summer, I will probably remember the heat and discomfort for the rest of my life!

It is the beginning of June and you know what that means…Harvest. Aaron is on harvest leave until further notice. Luckily being only an hour from Sharon  does make it a little easier for him to come back to Wichita and see me.  The last few months have just been flying by and I am sure that June will be no exception. I may not even notice his absence, although I think that is pretty unlikely.

Aaron and I were so excited to find out that Aaron’s sister Megan and her husband Andrew are expect a little girl on October 22, 2011!  What a blessing to be able to experience being first time parents together.  Congratulations Megan and Andrew!

Just can’t wait to meet these babies!

It’s a BOY!

Aaron and I are announcing today that we’re expecting our first child.
Our son is due in early September and we couldn’t be more excited.
He’ll be the first grandchild on Aaron’s side of the family and the first
male grandchild on my side.

We had our first sonagram on Wednesday, and here are the first
pictures and videos of our son.

50 Days and Counting

The days are flying by! I cannot believe we only have 50 days left until we get married.  These days are going to be very busy. Aaron and I have been working  hard on getting all of the details worked out for our big day. The invitations are almost ready to be mailed out. The invitations were designed by my brother Craig and I could not be happier with the final product. We still have considerable work to do on the guest list, but it is coming together.

Aaron and I have not yet decided on our honeymoon destination. We are looking pretty seriously at Jamaica, oh it just looks so gorgeous. We thought we wanted to stay away from the beach but I think the all inclusive resorts are what sold us. We still have to decide on which resort though.

Last weekend we had a bridal shower in Manhattan hosted by the lovely bridesmaids. I had a great time and I hope everyone who was able to attend also had fun. In a couple of weeks we will have a couples shower in Sharon, and later that night I will have my Bachelorette party in Wichita! Aaron will not have his Bachelor party until the following weekend in Kansas City.

We are so lucky to have so many fantastic and fun people in our lives to share this exciting time. Thanks for all your help and love 🙂
