Good news!

Russell got a promotion at work! He is now a sales coach. He is been wanting this for a long time. Im very proud of him. Were still in the process of getting our house unpacked and everything. I start school next week for summer classes and will be working and going to school all day. Its going to be busy. I hope everyone has a good Memorial weekend.

And..

It's a boy!! She said he looked healthy as can be. We got to see every little part of his little body. Russell and I are super excited about Collin James! We will upload some pictures later. And they are 100% sure its a boy.

Anxiously waiting..

So hopefully our little one will let us see what it is today!! Were so very excited about finding out, lets just see what happens!! Appointment at 3:30.

Doctor Update 5-17-2010

Ive gained a total of six pounds! The babies heart rate is back up to 153. While the doctor was listening to the hearbeat, the baby kicked and the doc just smiled and asked me and Russell if we knew what that was. Ofcourse I did, I could feel it. All test have came back great. Friday we will definatly be able to find out what were having. Today I am 19 weeks. Everyday I get more and more comments on my belly progressing. Everyone at work is so excited that were having a baby. But we will keep everyone updated!!

Baby bump!

My baby bump at 18 weeks and 4 days. Monday the 17th we go to the doctor for my checkup, were suppose to find out what were having. We'll let everyone know!

Getting Closer!

Friday is the day we close on the house. I just wanted to update some pics to let everyone see the house in more detail.

We have movement.

Finally at 16 weeks I felt my little one kicking and moving all around. I have been noticing flutters but this week I can actually feel the kicks! Russell would put his hand on my stomach and feel them as well and everytime the baby would kick he would get excited and a say "was that it", and I would just laugh and say yes that was it!!

House Update.

Aright, we got the house! The appraisal went well, the inspection went good. All we have to do it wait on the closing date. And we also found out that the house appraised for 2500 more than what we paid for it! So we are feeling pretty good about everything! The realtor says we are shooting for May 7th to be the day we close. So were all crossing our fingers and hoping that we get to close that day. Russell and I are so excited that we drive by all the time just to check it out. I cant wait to make it our place and do the things we want to it. There is going to be a party/cookout for all the family and friends to come and check out the place. We havent decided when that will be but we'll let everyone know. June 1st I start back to school and Im super excited because Im so ready to go back. I didnt like taking a semester off. But more updates and things will be coming!

Doctor update.

Today I went to the doctor and everything is looking good. He checked the babies heart rate and its at 148, he made the comment that its moving toward the boy range, but its still in the girl range! Ive only gained 4-5 pounds since Ive been pregnant. He says Im right on track to where I need to be. He also told me that my belly should be popping out in the next few weeks or so, which Im already starting to show. He sent me to the lab to give blood and they are checking to make sure the spinal cord and everything is forming properly. We will find out the results in a week or so. I have another doctors appointment on May 17. Then I will be 18 weeks and 6 days. He said if the blood work comes back okay, he will do an ultrasound to see what the sex of the baby is! But we have a busy week a head of us. Tomorrow we go to the new house to get it appraised and inspected. Wish us luck!

Last day at work!

Our last day at work, we had a little pot luck. All kinds of Jamaican food. We got surprised with a cake, drawings from one of the agents, and a little shirt for the baby. It says Jamaica No Problem. We had so much fun here in Jamaica but we cant wait to come home!! The drawings say Collin and Kinslee.

The ultrasound at 7 weeks and 2 days. The doctors visit went great. We have a very healthy and very large baby at this time. The baby is acutally only suppose to be .12 cm and its 1.04cm! Its good to know that the baby is doing alright. Everyone seems to be super excited about us starting a family. We also want to wish Amber and Austin luck because they are starting IVF. We come home this Saturday and cant wait see everyone. We love and miss everyone so much. Jamaica has been a great experience but its time to come home! Aunt Cindy says the baby looks like its holding a basketball and when Russell read the comment on facebook he smiled from ear to ear and had a tear in his eye. We also got to see the babies heartbeat. Its beating at 149.25 beats per minute. We are just so excited about this time in our lives. We cant wait until he/she is here!! Also some more news to let everyone know, we are trying to buy a house. Big time in our lives for sure!

Saturday night we went out to eat with some friends of ours at the Yaucht Club.Overall the day was AMAZING. We really enjoyed ourselves.

The next Saturday we all went to the beach and went snorkling.
