Kevin and I went down to Cincinnati yesterday to visit some of my sorority sisters from UK. I had not seen them since Molly & Nick's Wedding (September 6th, 2008) That's a whole year!! The boys were sent over to Travis and Lindsey's house so us girls could catch up.

Molly, Cecily, Merhin, Lori, Lindsey, Jenna and I ate an amazing dinner at Molly's. We had a lot to talk about and celebrate since the last time we were together. Lori (Compton) Kreyling and Lindsey (Burgheim) White and I are all due with our first children in January! Lori and I are due the same day and Lindsey just a couple weeks later. They are both having boys so Addison will have a group of good looking gentlemen to choose from when she gets older.

Being together with all my friends made me realize just how truly blessed Kevin and I are. We have such wonderful people in our lives who love and care about us. It seems like no matter how long we all go without seeing each other, nothing seems to have changed once we reconnect. I love that feeling!

Because I will not be able to attend Lindsey or Lori's baby showers due to my own shower conflicts, we were able to exchange gifts for our little one's. I got the cutest things for Addison! She is going to be so spoiled by her Kentucky Aunties I can already tell.

This truly was an amazing weekend! We had delicious food, even better dessert (chocolate covered carmel apples dipped with sprinkles!) and great company. Thank you girls for a wonderful time! I am so lucky to have such kind, caring friends in my life. I can't wait for Addison to meet you all. I know you will be such a blessing in her life!!

Congrats again Lori and Linds! What an amazing time in all of our lives!

26 Weeks and diabetes test

Glucose Testing drink - Yummy!

26 weeks pregnant.

Last week was my 26 week checkup along with a glucose screening test to rule out gestational diabetes. Everything went well except for the fact that my OB told me I would no longer have any ultrasounds! I guess that is a good thing because in her eyes everything in this pregnancy is going smoothly (knocking on wood!) but I still have a whole trimester left and I would like to see what Addison is up to in there!


For my glucose test I had to drink a orange, flat pop sugary beverage as fast as I could. It was not bad at all and within a day, my nurse called me back with results that I tested fine. No diabetes!

Addison's heartbeat was s strong 150 and she weighs about 2 pounds now! She is still head down which is where we want her from here on out. I am also measuring three days ahead of schedule. She might be a December baby after all!

In non baby news, this past Thursday, Kevin and I celebrated our four year wedding anniversary. I can't believe how fast the time has gone. We celebrated last night with a little shopping trip to Babies R Us and then out to dinner. Nothing too special, however, we did sleep until 9:30 this morning which NEVER happens. It was heaven!

Wedding day. October 8th, 2005

Well I am off to get moving on my scrapbook. I am working on a scrapbook of my mom. She passed away three years ago and I told myself I would have this thing finished before Addison was born so I could show and teach her about her Me Ma. My mother was an amazing woman and an even more amazing mother. I only hope that I can be half the mom she was. I love and miss you mommy! I promise our Addison will carry on your legacy.
