Brace yourself, we are going to be parents!!!

Well, Kyle and I told some of you already, but we wanted to officially let the rest of our close family and friends know that were are finally expecting! It has been such a long journey, but this moment makes it all worth it. I am 7 weeks 3 days as of today. My "due date" is December 27th. I feel a little bad for the little one possibly having a birthday around Christmas/New Years, but he/she will have to forgive us once they know how much we longed for them! It's the best Christmas gift we could have ever asked for. And my mom's birthday is Christmas eve, so I guess we'll see!!! We actually found out we were expecting during our trip to Vegas, so this baby is already our lucky charm!!!


We had an ultrasound today and got to see the little flickering heartbeat (135bpm) and it was absolutely amazing! Boy, maybe??? I attached a couple of pictures of Baby Kelly AKA, the Blob! It doesn't look like much of anything right now (well, maybe not to you guys), so I'm excited to go back in 4 weeks to get another ultrasound. My doctor seems to think that everything is moving along in the right direction even considering the miscarriage a while back. I'm really hopeful that this pregnancy will thrive and this little one will join the family soon. As for me, I've been feeling not-so-hot. Even drinking water makes me nauseated and the nausea seems to get progressively worse throughout the afternoon/night....to the extent that I sometimes can't function and I just sleep. But, once this little one is in my arms, I will forget this whole time. Oh, and today I got an RX for Zofran!

Thank you all for your continued love and support and many prayers. God is so good! I really hope that all of you are doing great and we look forward to seeing everyone soon.

It's been a while....

So sorry that it has been a while since I've posted. It has been quite a roller coaster ride lately.

At the beginning of April, we went to the AZ versus CO game. It was alot of fun. We had great seats, right behind home plate.
Here was the actual view from our seats...In mid-April, we took a short trip to Vegas. It was nice to get away. We saw Blue Man group again and Mystere.
On May 1st, we had a baby shower for my friend Joleen. Joleen and Zak's little girl is due very soon and Joleen looks so darn cute. The shower was held at our house and I'm pretty thankful because it gave me the chance/motivation to do a little spring cleaning.

One of the projects that I did for Joleen's shower is a diaper cake. Also, Joleen's sister Lynette and I worked on the baby shower invites (in the design of a onesie).Another one of Joleen's sisters, Karen, came up with some really fun games. It was a great time. We look forward to the arrival of Baby Girl Stratton!

Love,
