Happy Thanksgiving

As I reflect over this last year, I realize that I have so much to thank God for, He has provided me with a wonderful husband who loves me more than anything, a healthy baby growing inside me, and friends and family that are always there for me no matter what. I know that sometimes during the holidays we get so busy that we forget that Jesus really is the reason for the season, but I pray that as we finish out this year we will remember to thank him for all he has done for us and will continue to do for us in the future.

This Thanksgiving was very nice and relaxing. John and I both got to take a few days off from work and just hang out. This year we spent Thanksgiving at my mom and dad's house. It was My mom and dad, my two brothers, my grandparents, my aunt, and John's mom and brother. His dad had to work and we were bummed he couldn't make it. My wonderful husband did all of the cooking and it was delecious. Of course I ate way to much HAHA. I don't usually go shopping the day after Thanksgiving, but my mom and I decided we would give it a shot and we got our Christmas shopping started. Saturday John and I spent the day hanging out and just enjoying eachother and Sunday we were able to go to the Jaguar game. We had lots of fun and really

enjoyed our time off. Here is a few pics of us on Thanksgiving day!!

Kaylee Elizabeth Kirkland

Kaylee Elizabeth is what we will be naming our baby girl. Many of you have asked so I thought I would share. We have had her name picked out from the time we found out I was pregnant but couldn't decide on a boys name, thats another reason I was sure it would be a boy. haha. We are having a great time buying things for her and decorating her room. I am feeling wonderful and really couldn't ask for more :)

Christmas Lights

Okay, I know your supposed to wait until Thanksgiving but we already have our Christmas lights up and they are beautiful. My mom has wanted to put lights up since they have lived here and dad always said we will next year HAHA. Now that John and I are living here we decided we would just take matters into our own hands and get the lights up a little early. We had such a great time decorating the house, and we are very impressed with how it turned out. I can't wait until others start putting up their lights so we can go around and check out everyones houses. This is definentally my favorite time of year.

John hard at work!














Me acting like I am helping..HAHA

It's a.........

girl!!!!! Thanks for everyones prayers and sorry it took so long to post, but we found out on Friday that we are having a baby girl. We are very excited and have already started buying pink. John was suprised because there are no girls in his family so he thought this one would be a boy too. HAHA!! Now that I know she is a girl I feel like I can actually start planning things. I have posted one of the sonogram picures below. It didn't turn out great, but maybe you can get an idea!!

Fingers Crossed for Tomorrow!!

We are having another sonogram tomorrow morning at 8:30 a.m. Please pray that the baby cooperates for this one because I might go crazy if I don't find out. John said if we don't find out tomorrow we should just wait until the baby is born. I said ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! lol. I am so ready to buy something that is not green or yellow!! Keep your fingers crossed. I'll update tomorrow!!

Disappointed!!

So...all we found out at our sonogram last night was that we have a very stubborn baby. LOL. It wouldn't show us what it was so we have to wait until the 16th to find out. I was disappointed because I was really looking forward to knowing, But at least we only have to wait 10 more days. I am trying to put one of my sonogram pictures up but am having no luck so far. If I figure it out I will post it later.

Today is the day...

...we find out if we will be having a boy or girl. We are so excited. Originally we were scheduled fo find out on November 20th, I was determined to find out before Thanksgiving and scheduled it for then. About a two weeks later the Dr's office called and asked if we could move it up to November 16th, even though that was only 4 days sooner, I was thrilled. Then, to top that off, Beth Miller from our church (who is a nurse) asked if I wanted to be a model for students to practice giving sonograms on and that I could find out what the baby is. Of course I said YES YES YES!!! So we are going tonight at 6:45. Now we just have to hope that the baby cooperates. LOL. I will be sure to update tonight or tomorrow and post sonogram pictures. I know I haven't been too good about putting pictures up, but my digital camera isn't working, so as soon as I get it fixed I will update everyone with some pictures.
