As most of you already know, Jay and I are expecting our first human addition to our family. We are due on October 30th and are looking forward to the adventure ahead. October is turning out to be a very special month for our family as we share our wedding anniversary and Grandma Teresa's birthday on the 25th of October and only a few days earlier is our "dating anniversary". So we have learned to cherish this month and anticipate a lot of special things to celebrate each year!
Just a brief preview of the last 16 weeks, we found out officially that we were pregnant on March 1st and have continued to anticipate the feeling to become real since then (which it still has not to me!) We had our first ultrasound on March 17th which helped the feeling become a little more real but still seems like a dream.
We are anxiously awaiting our June 3rd appointment when we will #1) Get to see Baby K again after 9 weeks and #2) Hopefully have a cooperative baby that will show us what he/she is! A majority of the votes so far are going towards girl accept for one family friend who guessed an 11 lb, 5 oz boy (OMG, I hope you are wrong Matt H!!) Otherwise, a lot of girl guesses have been made which will be special because it will be the first Kern girl to be born into Jay's immediate family; who has 2 brothers and 2 nephews. But regardless Baby K will be special and loved entirely!!
Jay is looking very forward to getting "belly pictures" taken soon so I will post them when those are done. And again, I hope this helps keep family up to date as most of my family is pretty spread out! While we wish we could see them all more this way we can keep everyone updated without anyone being the last to know! ; ) Love you all!
Jay & Nita - I am very excited for you guys. I can't wait for the new addition so Cousin Colten can show him/her the goods and the bads:) You both will be great parents as you there is a lot of love in your household and family.
ReplyDeleteFor Nita, each ultrasound and every time you get kicked/punched it will seem more real. When I was pregnant with Colten it all seemed like a dream until about a week prior to his birth.
For Jay, the hormones/emotions will start calming down here soon so just bare with it as it will all be worth it come October.
It's about damn time! Enjoy it while you can....it seems like a lifetime right now (or soon will), but when it's all over, you will wonder where the time went.
ReplyDeletePulling for a boy, just so we can do the arranged marriage thing and not have to worry about the whole dating scene throughout Junior High, High School and College age. It would just be so much simpler! No really, a girl would also be a wonderful thing!
