I am busttttting to share this with everyone, and now is finally the appropriate time!!!

ARE YOU READY?!?

Daniel and I are with child:) Meet our precious baby:



Do you love him/her already? We do!!! We went last Thursday for the first ultrasound, and we heard the hearbeat for the first time. It was absolutely the sweetest thing I have ever heard. I can not wait to hold this baby in my arms.

Seriously, seven months seems like eternity.

Are you wondering if Daniel passed out or maybe even tuned out? Well, I'll be the first to tell you (very proudly) that he didn't! I thought he might have been a little uncomfortable at the "female doctor" and all, but he was such a man about it. When the doctor said our baby had a "good, strong heartbeat," we were SO relieved and excited!! Thank You, Jesus, for precious babies.

Do you want some more REALLY exciting news?!? Our baby already has a cousin!! Meet Baby Girl Dove:



Katie and Andrew are about 2.5 months ahead of us!! How fun is that!! She is due on December 5, and I am due February 12. Now THAT my friends, is fun! They are thinking of naming the sweet baby girl Mary...possibly Mary-something, using a double name. Oh, how I love the south! Double names are sooo my thing! Daniel is not too fond of the idea, but maybe he'll warm up to it. So really, it may just end up being Katie's thing:)

I apologize to my "blog followers" (all 3 of you!) for my lack of posts lately. I know I apologize for this every time I blog, but please have pity on this little country girl who can't get the internet at her house. Take it up with AT&T, Charter, or whoever provides your wonderful internet service. Rural people need it too.

Anyway, here is a little recap of where I've been since my last blog:

Being a bridesmaid-loved the sunflowers!

It has been "wheat pickin' time" which means Daniel has worked around the clock trying to get up all the wheat he planted last fall. Sometimes, precious little girls like Leigh, Mama T, Heather, and myself volunteer (get conned) into helping:) Here is Leigh driving the dump truck as the boys (and Trooper Mama T!) loaded hay. Yes, I just said that. It was hilarious to watch her drive that truck, that is a stick might I add. I sat next to her and giggled at her driving that big ole' dirty dump truck. Oh, the things we do for our men! Or in her case, her man's best friend!

We spent the next weekend at the lake with some friends. It was nice and relaxing as always. While D was gone on the wave runner, I caught a fish! All by myself! Funny thing is, all the boys were gone when I caught it and none of us girls knew how to get it off the hook, nor were we really wanting to try. Poor fishy, he didn't make it through the night.

Then the rain came, and we played pool inside for most of the rainy afternoon. That is where these pictures were taken. Absolute Boredom.



On a side note, have you tried these?

I highly recommend them. They are almost like a frozen snickers bar, but only three points on Weight Watchers! You can find them in the frozen section of almost any grocery store.

Well, it's hot and the air conditioner at my house in broken. Do you know how I feel about being pregnant and having a broken air conditioner?

Hope y'all are having a great summer and staying hydrated!
