Girls' Night Out

A couple of weeks ago, Kaity and I had the unique opportunity to spend the evening together, just the two of us! Not having a lot of money, I told Kaity I wanted to do something special together but we had a budget. We could go out to a restaurant and that would be all we could do. We could eat fast food and maybe go to the $5 Christian Book Store. Or we could eat at home and then go do ... something else. As I threw ideas out to her, nothing appealed until I got to, "Hey, we could get your ears pierced!" She was really excited about that! We ate dinner at home then went to Wally World to get the ear piercing done.

The lady who did the piercing was on her own that night, and fairly reluctant to do it by herself since that meant doing one ear at a time. Kaity and I convinced her to do it anyway! And Kaity was a real trooper. She never even teared up! She is thrilled over her new earrings -- they're her October birthstone.





A peach shake from Chick-Fil-A sure helped ease the sting from the ear piercing!


This was on the following Sunday. Kaity wondered if people would have a hard time recognizing her since she had new earrings, "curly" hair, and a dress she hadn't worn in a while. How cute is that?

Baby Bump!

Here I am at 3 months ...

It's Official!

There's only one baby in there! Much to my mother's disappointment and my relief. :) But my due date has been changed since I'm further along that we originally thought. I'm now due on February 6th, 2010 -- the day after my stepdad's birthday! So, yay for not having as long to go! Enjoy the fuzzy, gray, crooked pictures.

If you squint, in this one you can see Baby's head on the right, and arms and legs already, which made it clear that I was further along than we thought.


Here, the doctor took the measurement and deduced that I am ten weeks along today, instead of 8 1/2.

Digital Camera Roulette

Just some pretty flowers from my "garden" ...



Another pretty little flower ...


And ... the cat sleeping on my face. This is her new favorite place to nap. Anytime I lay down, she comes running to wrap herself around my head. It would be endearing if only I could breathe.
