39 Weeks

Okay, so seriously this is no longer funny...I would like to be unpregnant please! Thank you! Some days are better than others I'd like to report, but mostly I feel like there is no more space for the baby to continue his/her activities. I'll keep you all updated, but I'm pretty sure I have at least a week to go. Dang! Love you all, Kat & Andrew (he is putting up with all my whining)

Check it out, I'm giving birth to a bowling ball!!

Busy Little Bee

So I am constantly asked what I do to keep busy...so here it goes. I like to play Martha Stuart from time to time as well as an exhausted pregnant wife. When I am not completely worn out for no particular reason, I work on one of the many projects I invent for myself. Here are a few pictures of my endeavors. Feel free to make fun, but I like doing this kind of thing. Besides, everyone talks about this "nesting" phase of pregnancy. I'd like to report the only behavior I have developed is "resting"...so instead of cleaning the house, I have projects...which is much more fun (cause then I'd be posting pictures of a clean home, BORING)! Enjoy, Kat

Enjoying Each Other...

Andrew and I have had a wonderful time being together for the past two months and we really would NOT change any of it! We LOVE LOVE LOVE our new home and are so pleased to be painting every single room as well as decorating (to some degree). We've spent time doing yard work, taking walks, playing with the dogs and going on dates. We have found a wonderful new church with amazing community involvement and had met all of our neighbors. Everyone is really wonderful and we are so excited about whatever the future has in store for us! We would love to thank you all for your love and support over the past months. We are so happy right now and are so excited to have a little one join the family. We have a crazy life, but we always enjoy one another! Love you all! Andrew & Kat

Ladies Night Out!!

Our first "Restaurant Week" here in Chandler....maybe not the cities first, but our first!!!
Summer, Erin, Jill, Lauren, Sally & Myself decided it was a nice time to head over to Flemmings Steakhouse in Chandler. We all had the 6 oz Steak, a fun salad & a dessert! It was a perfect night out together and a fun little treat!!! Great idea Erin!
Love you all and cannot wait to do it again!
Love, Kat

Arizona Baby Shower

First of All, SO MUCH FUN!!! It is really amazing how many wonderful friends I have and what they will do for me! A special thank you to Sally for having a beautiful Baby Shower for me and also to Laura & Erin for organizing, helping out and getting everything ready! You are all amazing and it means so much to me that you all wanted to have a shower for our baby!!!
Andrew and I are getting more excited everyday and cannot wait to meet our little surprise baby!!! All of the wonderful gifts were a great addition to our nursery and the needs of our baby. It is absolutely amazing what you need to have for a child to enter your life. We cannot wait to share our child with everyone! Thank you to everyone for your thoughts, prayers & gifts! It is such an exciting time for us and we love sharing it with all of you!
Love, Andrew, Kat & Baby

Been Busy!

What are we doing? Well, currently we are moving into our new home in Gilbert, Arizona!!! We live in a beautiful little neighborhood called Seville and are so excited to join the Country Club in the spring! Swimming Pools!!! Our house is just as wonderful as we remember it from our quick 15 minute tour about a month ago. No big issues that we were not aware of yet and are neighbors are very friendly and quiet. We have had a few visitors, but would love for anyone and everyone to come visit our humble abode! Thank you Thad, Lauren, Sarah, Chip and Cathy!!!!

September has become one of our busiest months so far this year and it's filled with a lot of uncertainty. We would like to report that we are doing great and enjoying one another! So far we have not killed each other or gotten into any big squabbles regarding new home decor, budget, unpacking or cleaning. Phew! However, we are loving our time together after being a part for August.

House: I have a take a number of before pictures of our home, but none of them really do it justice. They kinda make it look small, but oh well. We are painting and getting rooms ready slowly but surely. All of our boxes are nearly unpacked except for the office/man cave/play room/large closet room. We started painting with our Laundry room and have recently finished the baby room! So fun! Next we'll be painting our room and the bathrooms! Woo HOo! We're stalling of course. Oh and for all those worried individuals, I do wear a very attractive mask while painting.

Besides Loads of fun house work, we're getting out and seeing our friends, having adventures in home purchases, cheering for ASU & walking. Andrew has also been rehabing his knee and working out to keep busy! We'll keep you updated on his status, but we think we're moving the right direction. On another note, I have found a very bubbly new OBGYN who will most likely be delivering our baby here in November! As for baby, everything looks great.

Healthy and a little squirmer when he/she wants to be. No big issues for me. I do wake up quite a bit in the middle of the night and probably drink 8 tons of water, but I think I'll be okay. I still sleep well and always feel sorry for myself and lie down when I need to. Although I have gained PLENTLY of weight, my "belly is all baby", quoted from my doctor. I personally think I've decided to pad my behind instead. My body misdirected the padding. Oh well. Here are a few photos of me at 34 weeks!!! Time flys in the end...well so far.

Baby Bell in the Baby Room!!!

"Does this look like a little weight to you?"

Well that's an update from us! We love you all and hope all is well where ever you may be!!! Cannot wait to show off our little one!!!
Love, Andrew & Kathryn
