Drum Roll Please....

Today, at 28 weeks, we officially entered into the third trimester! Exciting you ask?...Yes! Terrifying to know that Katelyn will be here, in our arms, in our care, in our home, under our supervision, in less than three months?...Ab-so-freakin-lutely! Holy cow! Now's the time to cram everything thing we ever wanted to do (beach trip, late nights out on the town, camping, quick little weekend trips, sleeping in, even spontaneous trips to the grocery store) into these last three months before our little kiddo gets here, right? Oh, and finish reading the bazillion pregnancy, breastfeeding, what to expect and newborn books that have piled up on our nightstands over the past six months. Man, we've got a lot to accomplish in these last three months! Let's hope we're up for the challenge!


It really hit home that we are in the final stretch when our doctor said “Well guys, I'll see you in two weeks”...wait, what? What happened to the once a month gig we had going on? You know, where we come in every four weeks, step on the scale, pee in a cup, listen to the heartbeat, ask a few questions, schedule another appointment four weeks out and leave? I thought you only had to visit the doctor every two weeks when, you know, you're really big and fairly close to delivery...OMG! Ding, ding, ding...That's us!


My, my how time flies! Before we know it, our little girl will be here, in our home, then in preschool, then in elementary school, then high school...then, off to Auburn, when, by the way, she can start to date! We better sit back, relax and take in all that's happening around us now because in three months, our lives are going to be turned upside down in the most wonderful, exciting, fulfilling and exhausting way! And we wouldn't want it any other way!

Just wait until the doctor says, "ok, next time I'll do a pelvic exam." It will probably the only time in your life you'll be so happy to hear those words!!
