A Time For Giving Thanks!

The past week has been filled with tons of excitement! From finding out that we are having a baby boy to Chris finally getting to feel Colton kick. Last Wednesday I went to see Chris and get some lunch at The Pit. While I was there Colton started to do flips and turns in my belly. It must have been the BBQ Chris said. :) Once Chris put his hand on my belly it took a few seconds before he felt the little movement. He was amazed at the feeling of Mr. Colton. I told Chris just wait until it gets stronger. I was so excited that he finally got to feel him move. Not only did Chris get to feel Colton move for the first time, but so did my Mom and Shelley. All three have felt him move right after I have eaten. Colton goes crazy while I'm eating. He also starts moving when his Dad gets up for work at 2:45 in the morning. I told Colton it's not time for him to go to The Pit yet. :)

I have so much in my life right now to be thankful for. From having a wonderful Mom and Dad, to a great sister and soon to be Aunt, to an amazing and loving Husband, and now a blessing of a baby boy. Also to mention the wonderful family and friends that mean so much to our little family. WOW! What more can I ask for...simple nothing.

Mr. Colton Allen

Today was filled with tons of happiness! I'm so tired after today too! The day started off by me having to go to school at 7:00 and getting done around 8:00. Then I went to pick Chris up from work and we got to the doctor's off around 8:50. I was soooo worried that my parents and sister weren't going to make it on time because they were stuck in traffic. We got called back and they still hadn't made it there. I was really worried. Luckily they made it just in time and they had the DVD with them too.

Once she put the DVD in she went right to his little bottom to see if she could find out. He was a very good boy today. Once she said "Yep yall are having a little boy" Mom and Dad started hugging each other and Chris and I gave each other a high-five. Mom started saying how she was right and I felt so good because the whole time I just had this feeling that he was a boy, but didn't want to say anything cause I didn't want to look like a weirdo if he wasn't. :) Afterwards I told Chris were are probably the only couple that would give each other high-fives after finding out what their baby is. :) It was funny. Chris said that at first he couldn't see anything, so it was a little confused. I knew Chris was a little nervous because he stayed sitting down the whole time. Once we got in the car he couldn't stop smiling and talking about our little boy.

Overall, it was a day filled with tons of smiles. We are truly blessed!!! I have to give all the glory to the Lord because he has taken care of our little boy and we couldn't be more happy just to have a healthy baby.

Another Day Closer

So I've started to understand this blog thing I little better. I took some pictures of some things that I have for the baby's room so far. We haven't really done a lot cause we are waiting until we find out what the baby is. No matter if its a girl or boy we are going with a "Safari"  theme. I have a bedding set picked out and it actually comes in boy colors or girl colors and its also safari theme.

We went and ate at Outback last night and the whole time we were there the baby was going crazy in my belly. I started laughing and Chris was like "What's so funny" and I told him the baby was excited cause Momma was eating. :) He told me last night that for some reason he is actually wanting a girl now, which is funny when you would think he would want a boy and I would want a girl. Its actually the other way around. He wants a girl and I want a boy. Either way we just want a health baby.


I've had lots of people say its probably a girl because the heart rate was 176 on the first visit and then I have lots of people that say boy because I'm carrying low. I haven't put any weight on around my hips. The only place that I've put weight on is just my belly.


Looking forward to Monday at 9:00. We go to find out what our little blessing is. Can't wait to share our joy with our family and friends.
