Latest Baby Checkup

This past Friday Kara had another ultrasound. Her doctor wanted to make sure everything was OK for a couple reasons. She has been getting some sort of rash and inflamation of her right cheek and ear for the past 3 weeks now. We've seen a regular doctor, an ER doctor, a dentist and her OB/GYN. Nobody has a clue as to what it is. So her OB just wanted to make sure there wasn't any type of infection around the baby. He also mentioned in her previous check up that her belly had grown quite a bit in a week and they wanted to check for too much fluid or anything abnormal.

Everything is just perfect with our little miracle. They said everything is where it should be, her head is down and she's pretty active. She's also still a girl!! Kara was worried she would turn out to be a he. So we can still use all the pink clothes we've received from everyone!! They also mentioned that she's about 8lbs 3 oz already....with a month still to go!! So now Kara's worried she's going to have a 9 or 10lb baby. Although everyone has told us they are usually wrong about this....so we'll have to wait and see. We're both getting very anxious, Kara really wants her to come out. But we just have to wait a little bit longer.

This past Sunday our friends John & Shirley had another baby shower for Kara. There were some friends that weren't able to make it to the first one, so this gave everyone a chance to be there. We would like to thank everyone that showed up. It really meant alot to us!!

How much seafood do YOU eat??

Baby Shower

We just got home a little while ago from Kara's baby shower. We received lots of wonderful gifts from everyone that attended. We would like to thank everyone that was able to make it. It really meant alot to us and we appreciate it greatly. A special thanks goes out to everyone that helped set this up for Kara.

Now it's time to go and check out everything we got. See ya'll later!!

Hey everyone. It's Saturday afternoon and I just got back from the store and I figured I'd better post something on here, it's been almost two months since the last post. Been slacking off lately.

Kara's at her Mom's until Sunday so I'm just hanging around the house today. I had to run up to ABC Warehouse to pick up a new DVD player. My other one died on us last night after about 6 years of use. It was a 3 disc JVC. This time I got a Toshiba. Probably could have gotten one a little cheaper, but this had the main thing I wanted, an optical audio output. Just enhances the sound quality from the DVD player to my audio receiver. It's a guy thing... hehe

So not much has been happening here lately. Kara went back to work a few weeks ago, which really helped out with our cash flow. Unfortuneately she was told by her boss yesterday that her husband just lost his job. So they will probably only need her for another two weeks. Then they don't know what's going to happen. They may move to Texas. So that kinda sucks. As I told Kara though, we just have to move on and get through it. She only needs to worry about the baby. Speaking of which, both mother and baby are doing fine. Kara went for a check up this past Tuesday and everything was fine and normal. Only 75 days more to go!!!

On a sadder note... Kara's Dad (Bill) passed away a few weeks back on August 26. He had been sick as of late and had succumb to liver problems, he was only 50. He lived in Alegan County, MI, about 40 miles northwest of Kalamazoo. As you can imagine it was an emotional time for Kara, her mom and three brothers. I'm just glad I was able to be there for her.

On another sad note... winters almost here!! Can't believe how fast the summer went by. The cold weather will be rolling in anytime now. We've already had a couple chilly mornings, but I'm still wearing shorts everday. I dread wearing long pants again!!

I hope everyone is doing good. Take care!!
