4 Weeks Later

We have been busy actually seeing people in person and other activities. Here is our update. The weekend of March 7-9 we made a quick trip to Tucson to visit family and show off the growing baby bump. We had a nice time seeing everyone and enjoying the warm weather! As always we managed to cram a ton into a short time. Kevin got to enjoy his first meal at the Organ Stop restaurant in Phoenix, we watched Samantha Johnson play basketball, enjoyed a family meal at Julie and Carl's house, saw a show at the Gaslight Theater, visited with Carolyn, watched Dad's LTC puppet team perform, ate, ate, and ate some more.


This past week for Tonya has been Spring Break. I have had some time to finish some more things around the house. Those were great, but the best thing I did this week was register for baby stuff! A big thanks to my friend Sarah who took me out and showed me all the best stuff to register for. We had lots of fun and just enjoyed having a girls day out. If you would like to see the lists you can view them online at Baby's R Us, Burlington Coat Factory, and Target. Just look it up under Kevin or Tonya's name.

Hard to believe, but the baby should be here in about 3 months! Where has all the time gone?! We are getting nervcited (it's a new word, means excited and nervous). I am definitely feeling pregnant these days. As you can see from the pictures, my belly is growing! After avoiding it as long as possible I really am wearing maternity clothes pretty much all the time now. The baby is pretty active and I am starting to notice her schedule. Basically she is active anytime I am not. I love it though, I feel her pretty often now.

So, we are off to watch the Jayhawks in March Madness. Love to you all!

She's Kicking!

Yesterday was 22 weeks and 6 days. The exciting news for the day is that Kevin felt the baby move for the first time! It was so cool! There was no mistaking what was going on. She had been very active all evening and when Kevin put his hand on my stomach he got several nice solid kicks. Then this morning before he went to work he put his hand on my stomach again and even though she hadn't been moving too much, she kicked him again! What a fantastic time!


-------------------------

In other news, we have been very busy around our house. Some of the projects will have to wait until the weather warms, but here is what we have been up to.



I attempted, for the first time, to make curtains. I am pretty impressed with the final results. These hang in our kitchen.



Kevin has recently discovered that he can make a fabulous cheesecake. Heath Bar Crunch Cheesecake. Yummm.



Last weekend Amber and Jenise visited us for the day (a perk of working for Southwest Airlines!). We spent the day in Kansas City, visiting the Steamboat Arabia museum, bowling, and visiting. Thanks for coming guys! It was good to see you!


And last, another exciting thing we have recently accomplished... We have finally moved into our actual bedroom. Since we bought the house in June, we have been planning and working on the room that is actually our bedroom. This weekend we finally moved in! Notice the finished wood floors, the painted walls, the curtains, the new furniture, and the crown moulding. I still need to put up wall decor and we have other plans for adding to the room, but we are proud of what has been accomplished.


Love to you all! Keep in touch!

It's A...

Girl!
Kevin and Tonya are having a girl! We are so excited! Today we are 20 weeks and 5 days into the pregnancy. Tonya is feeling very well! She is starting to feel some of the physical effects of carrying a baby around all day, and Kevin is getting lots of practice rubbing her back. Enjoy the pictures!

Kevin is proud to show that he is no longer winning the belly size war.



Monday we had 69 degree weather, Tuesday it started cooling and Wednesday Tonya had a snow day and Kevin shoveled 5 inches of snow from our driveway!

We love you. Hope you all are warm and well wherever you are,

Update!

It's been awhile and so much has happened!

First, we did attend the KC Cheifs football game (which they lost). After we broke the ice off of the chairs and got our heat packs warmed up, it was very enjoyable!
Over Christmas we went to DisneyWorld! It was fantastic. We managed to visit 4 parks in 4 days as well as have Christmas dinner in the hotel and have a traditional Christmas brunch, gift opening, and a gift exchange. It was a lot of fun, but it was over much too quickly.
We returned from the sunny Florida heat to find 4 inches of fresh snow on our car. A nice "welcome home" from the state of Kansas.


So now we are into the New Year and back to the regular routine. Kevin and I are back to work. We had another doctor appointment on January 4 where we heard the baby's heart beat. Everything was going well.
We are now at 17 weeks and I am starting to show! On February 8 we will be finding out if we are having a boy or a girl. We are super excited and are very much enjoying the process. I have not been sick at all, just tired (and maybe a bit lazy). But all is well. We would love to hear from you all about your holidays.

Love to all! Tonya & Kevin
