Live from the Baby Farm

Katie - February 2009



Kristi - April 2009



I know, I know...I was slacking! I'm just a tad busy with a crazy toddler and working two jobs now, but I still manage to take naps! And I will always choose sleep over anything. So with Oliver happily making a mess of the house I have a few minutes to update all of you who read this (mostly Lauren and maybe my mom)
So I'm at 18 weeks and feeling great! We'll be finding out the gender in just a few weeks. I'm dying to know. We're having a tough time on names and I think knowing the gender will help shove us in the right direction. I'm really slacking this time around though. Do you know I have not bought this child one single thing?! Can you believe it? Oliver had is entire life set out for him at this stage in the game. Not a single blanket, baby book,or onesie. I didn't even start reading Oliver "I'm a big brother" books yet. I think it may be my way of...I don't even know what.
(I just pulled a rock out of Oliver's mouth, in my bedroom for crying out loud! this kid will find a rock anywhere! Gheesh!)
My last Dr. appt. went really well. Heart beat was between 155 and 160, convincing my mother it is a girl. But the big news was that I hadn't gained ANY weight since my last appointment! Not a pound! So goes to show you you can live off of cereal, chocolate chips and Pop Tarts and not gain any weigh. Move over Micheal Phelps I found a new diet!
I'll put up some pictures of the bump when it starts looking like a bump and less like a beer gut. I'm starting to get those looks from people making me want to say "I'm not getting fat, I'm growing a human! What did you do today because I grew some kidneys?"
It's way too quiet.. you know what that means...Gotta run!

Belly Twin Power... Activate!

By now, most of you (that bother to read our individual blogs) know that Katie and I had a fun and busy summer, are now both with child and are approximately 7 weeks apart. Katie is due at the end of February and I am due sometime around the beginning of April (near Easter).... Specific due dates are NEVER right, so I won't bother with those details. We'll keep our tickers updated for you so that you never have to wonder how far along we actually are.
So, I wish I could say that we totally planned this whole thing, how cool would that be! But... alas, it was simply God's will. Rather than bombarding our family and friends with updates on our ever expanding girths (that sounds so sexy), we thought we would start a joint blog to keep you ever aware of all the wonderful joys of pregnancy, childbirth, babyhood, etc... Our old blogs will still be active for other random topics, but this one is solely for all things baby-bump-related.

Stay tuned... it's going to be a wild ride!
