12 Weeks!

Well, I'm nearing the end of the first trimester. I've heard that the tiredness goes away some, and I'm looking forward to that. I calculated that I was only awake for 10 hours total last Saturday! Poor Kyle . . . I leave him up watching a lot of movies by himself these days. Although, he's been great about it! He just covers me up with a blanket and wakes me up to move from the couch to the bed when he's going to bed . . . at our usual bedtime (sometimes 3 or 4 hours after I fell asleep). :) Anyway, I can't really complain because that has been my main symptom. I've had no morning sickness and I haven't really even been nauseous at all. In fact, I was very relieved to go to the doctor last Thursday and hear the heartbeat. It blows me away that there is a heart beating in my body that doesn't belong to me! Dr. Hager said that everything looks great! The heart rate was 167 beats per minute which, if you believe in that kind of thing, means it's a girl! I haven't rushed out to buy anything pink yet, but it's kind of a fun fact anyway.

My belly's just starting to pooch out there a little bit. I had a student go home and tell his mom, "Mrs. Sevier's belly is getting bigger. She looks the same everywhere else, but her belly is starting to grow!" I'm still able to wear all of my normal clothes, but I'm thinking it won't be long before I have to do some maternity clothes shopping! I have my next appt. on November 18th and we'll schedule my 20 week appt. then. That means I should know the sex of the baby around mid-December. Can't wait! It will be a perfect Christmas present for me . . . I'll get to start shopping!

I miss my camera!

I'm officially lost. Although I don't post a whole lot of pictures on my blog, I take pictures constantly. I carry my camera and extra batteries in my purse at all times! Yesterday, I was trying to take a picture of our new futon (shown below) to show my mom, and I dropped my camera. I dropped it on the carpet so I didn't think it would do anything to my camera, but I had already pushed the button to turn it on. The lens was on its way out and just stuck there. I had 2 birthday parties last night (Sadie-1 and Jasmine-8), and I didn't get a single pic! Anyway, until I get it fixed I don't know what I'm going to do! We're heading to Stillwater today for Homecoming, and I won't get to take any pictures! Ugh! I hate electronics/technology.

Anyway, on another subject, we're working on getting everything moved out of our treadmill room (I'd call it an exercise room, but that would imply that exercise takes place in there). We're combining it with our extra bedroom. However, we don't really have that many people stay over so we got a new futon and the bed is going on craigslist. I really like it. It's pretty, but functional. It has a storge area underneath, too. There's no such thing as too much storage!

I also ordered the first piece of furniture for the baby's room! I've already chosen the furniture I want whether it's a boy or a girl, so we're going to start purchasing those items now. I got the glider/rocker and ottoman pictured below. It's exactly what I wanted and got good reviews on the website. I'm so excited! Now we just can't wait to find out if we've got a girl or boy coming . . . how do people do it??!!

One last note: OSU plays Missouri today. Go POKES!!

Victory for OSU!

This weekend we traveled to College Station, TX with our Aggie friends, Danny and Toni. Since we've known them we've made it a tradition to go to all of the OSU vs. A&M football games. We stopped in McKinney first to ride the rest of the way with them. They have a camper that we stayed in over the weekend. Besides that fact that it was super cold (down in the high 30s and 40s at night), we had a great time! Of course, OSU winning 36-31 helped out a bit!

Trying to keep warm during the game.

Baby Sevier!

Well, talk about slacking . . . it's been 2 months since I've posted anything! But, I have a good excuse! I went back to work (school), which always causes me to be a little more worn out than usual. After a summer filled with no alarm clocks, I tend to walk around like a zombie for the first few weeks. However, I have been exhausted! Turns out . . . I'm pregnant! We've been trying since April/May, and it finally happened. I found out on September 2nd, and just had my first appointment on September 22nd. I had an ultrasound and even got to see the heart beat! Dr. Hager estimates that I'm about 6 weeks 5 days (as of today), but I had myself at 7 weeks 4 days. Anyhow, I'm due on May 17th, 2010! A perfect ending to the school year and beginning to the summer! I can't wait to meet him/her!

The official test! This is actually the 3rd test I took. The first two were the kind with the blue line, and while there was a blue line somewhat present on the first two, I had to buy the digital kind that clearly read "pregnant" or "not pregnant."

Showing off my good news before heading off to work!

Maybe a little much . . . but, I wanted to remember the date that I found out!

September 2, 2009

At my parent's house after we revealed the good news. My mom, dad, and nini are pumped (as are everyone else in our lives!). They were beginning to think it would never happen.

The baby's first picture. Sorry . . . I'm not very good at this blogging stuff yet. I can't figure out how to rotate the picture, but you get the idea.

Ten Year Reunion

Well, I officially feel old . . . I just had my ten year high school reunion this past weekend. Although, I do have to say that I've been looking forward to it. I got to see a lot of people I haven't seen in (literally) ten years! Of course, most of my pictures make it look like it was just any old weekend. I'm proud to say I'm still good friends with most of my girls from high school.

The weekend started off at a bar called Kamp's. Of course, it wouldn't be a Mustang party if there wasn't a fight! Luckily, it was at the very end of the night and I really needed to get off the dance floor anyway! On Saturday there was a family picnic at Wildhorse Park in Mustang. However, we didn't attend this . . . I felt like it was more for families with human children, not beagles. On Saturday night, we headed to Bricktown for dinner at Crabtown. There was an awards presentation (mostly silly awards) and a slideshow of highschool pics. After that, we went to a club called Paralogia (sp?). I hated for it to end! We had a great weekend.

Fun in Shawnee

Last weekend we all went to Shawnee . . . Friday for a Girls' Night Out and Saturday for some fun in the sun! On Friday all the girls (including Sherri and Cassie's grandma) went out to eat at Chili's and then to Hot Rods and Dietrich's (the 2 bars that Sherri's dad owns). On Saturday morning all the guys came and met us for a day on the lake. I'm not usually a "boat person," but Des and Mike's new boat was a blast!

Carpet Conundrum

After returning from Big Cedar Lodge last Sunday, Kyle and I had to rush over to his parents, pick up the dogs and bring them home before we could get to the bowling alley at 4:00. We were in a huge rush and accidentally locked Wylie in our bedroom. When we got home, Pistol was running around in a panic. This was our first clue that something was wrong. When Kyle went to open our bedroom door I heard his exclaim, "WYYYYYYLLLIEEEEEE!" I think Wylie thought he could dig out of our bedroom the way he does in the backyard. Unfortunately for us all . . . he just ruined our carpet. Of course, Kyle couldn't get on to him because he felt so bad for locking him in there for 3 hours!

Here's Wylie and his mess . . .

He's lucky he's so cute!
