Just a quick post to let you know I am still here....

I have moved positions at work and moved locations. I am glad for the change, but I stay extremely busy! I don't have much time to blog anymore (sniff). Anyway, just wanted to let you guys know I have not fallen off the face of the earth.

Our air went out last Thursday, and we couldn't find anyone to replace it until Monday. That was a miserable weekend. I stayed at Nichole's house or Mom's until Monday night. I really appreciated them letting me stay, but I really missed Bill for those 4 nights (he stayed at our house).

I am now halfway through my pregnancy, and VERY excited. I have started feeling the baby move, not very strong or regular, but I am feeling her and I know it's her. I still don't
"look" pregnant, I just look like I am gaining weight, I am getting wider instead of getting a belly...LOL

We are 99% sure we have decided on her name, but I am not going to announce just yet because we don't have a middle name and we are pretty wishy washy about these things.

Papaw got a semi-good report from the doctor this week, the cancer has NOT spread to any surrounding cells that they tested. He has a doctor's appointment next Thursday. From what I understand (which isn't much) they will run some tests to make sure the cancer hasn't spread to other organs. So please keep praying for him.

Well time is short, and I need to run grab some lunch...

I am 16 weeks and 5 days pregnant today. I am getting excited and nervous about my appointment next week on Thursday. I am excited to know if we are having a boy or a girl, and nervous because I am always nervous about my doctor's appointments. I have been "trying" so hard to feel the baby move this week. I have tried eating and then laying flat on my back to see if I can feel any flutters. I have tried lying on my stomach; and I have tried lying on my left side. I haven't felt anything yet!! I just keep praying I start feeling something soon, I think that would help my nerves ALOT!! I am open to suggestions...how soon did you feel you baby move, and what did you do to make it easier to feel or make the baby move??

The new venture Bill was working on fell through, so please keep praying for direction for us in the area of his job. This is an area of HUGE stress to us right now.

My friend Nichole, that I wrote about here, has a blog of her own now!! I am very excited about that!

I am really missing my cat these days. I don't know if I have ever talked about him on the blog before. He died a couple of years ago, but he was like our baby since we didn't have any kiddos. His name was kitt-katt and he was the sweetest kitty in the world. He wasn't your typical "prissy cat" he loved to be held and to cuddle. He wasn't happy unless he was near us. If Bill and I would sit by each other on the couch, he would wedge his way in between us. He was so sweet. He was almost 3 years old when he died. He had a heart condition that the vet told us wasn't serious, but proved to be fatal. We woke up one Sunday morning (Feb. 28, 2007) and he had died in the night. I have missed him in the past, but lately it seems to be worse, I think it's the pregnancy hormones, and the fact that I took his pictures out the other day and was looking at them. Anyway, I thought I would post a few pictures here and introduce you all to my baby kitt-katt!! I miss him a lot!!

He loved to sit in the window and watch the lizards play outside.

This was his favorite place when we started a fire in the fire place. Whenever Bill brought fire wood in the house (before the fire was ever started) he would go lay down right in this same spot every time and wait for Bill to get the fire going.

Hey Y'all! I am still here. Just haven't had much new to say. It's been at or over 100 degrees here for the past week or so, and it's just been miserable...it's not helping my mood any. Not to mention I can't even remember the last time it rained.

In pregnancy News. I am still exhausted, nauseous, and over all irritable. I am 13 weeks and 2 Days today. Apparently my baby is the size of a peach and weighs about an ounce today. It's little fingerprints have formed and it's little body is trying to catch up with the size of it's head. How fun is that!!

I have a slight "bump" now. I am hesitant to take pictures yet, because I had gained so much weight before I got pregnant this time and because if you aren't very familiar with my appearance before hand, I only look fat not pregnant...but I promise as soon as I have a definite "pregnant belly" I will start posting pictures.

I have had "beach fever" lately. I desperately would like for Bill and I take a vacation to the beach before this summer is out, but the funds are limited, not to mention the time I am already having to take off work for doctor appointments and maternity leave this year, it would just seem a little excessive to take off for a week this summer.

Bill is working on a new endeavor...can't say much more than that at this point, but just pray about that with me. It sounds like a very good opportunity, and we are both very excited. It's only in our minds right now, we just have to make it a reality. Sorry to be so vague, but that's all I can be now.

I hated to hear about Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson passing away yesterday. The first thought that ran through my mind was I hope they got the chance to know Jesus before they stepped into eternity. However, I can't understand all of the hoop-la that is going on with Michael Jackson's passing. Really, he was just a man.

Work is going alright, some things have changed around here, and I haven't had my hours cut yet. However, it does require me to work out of both our offices (which isn't a bad thing at all). I am kind of enjoying the change of scenery from time to time.

My sister is getting so cute with her little pregnant belly. I just love it, and can't wait to get a belly like that myself. She can feel the baby kicking strong and moving around now. It's so cool...even though little Harvest is shy around her Aunt Heather (I haven't been able to feel her kick yet).


Let's see....anything else???? Guess that's it for now...hopefully I will start feeling more like posting again soon. I have got to get back to my Tasty Tuesday's and Wacky Wednesday's.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!!
