THE WALKERS
Robbie. Kara. Ivy. Adelynn.
To all those who "predicted" GIRL...you're right! We're so excited! Here's the revealing picture, although we saw a much clearer picture at the doctor's office - it's definately a girl! Right after we left the appoinment, we went to the store and picked out her first little onesie. We thought it was so fitting! :) Love you guys!
Robbie calls this one "unleashing the beast" :)
This is me at 19 weeks. Due date is still set to May 8th. We went to the doctor today to find out what sex we were having...and it was so much fun!!!! And as soon as we got home, I felt the baby move like CRAZY for 2 minutes straight! And it just confirmed that it was the baby that I felt Friday night! It was amazing! I'm sure it will start to get irritating when it's happening at night when I'm trying to go to bed...but right now I just can't get enough. SO CUTE! Here's a couple pics from the ultrasound too...we will unveil it's identity for real in just a bit!
I think I felt the baby move for the first time!! I was sitting there, at yet another one of Rick's basketball games, enjoying the atmosphere when the pep band started playing really loud. And - you know when they start playing a really loud upbeat tune - you kind of feel the rhythm of the drums inside your body? Well, that's what I was feeling when all of a sudden...I felt a very distinct *different* kind of beat. I felt a tiny punch right below my belly button. It was just once, and it didn't happen again the rest of the night, but I KNOW that was not the pep band. :) So, at first, I was naturally confused. And I must have made Robbie confused because after I told him, he just looked at me like, "are you sure?" I thought that my first time feeling the baby was supposed to be like a flutter or a tickle in my stomach. But there was no flutter, or tickle...just a punch. But I'm 19 weeks, so that sounds right, right? Am I crazy? I have been trying to pay extra close attention since to see if it will happen again. If it doesn't for a few days, does that mean it wasn't the baby? **sigh** Maybe I should just learn to tap into my motherly instincts that obviously haven't come in yet. :) Or maybe I should just realize they already have and just learn to trust them. :) Either way - it was an amazing feeling, and I can't wait to feel some more!!
Game is on the line... 4 seconds left...tie game...in overtime...Rick goes up for the shot and... oh no! Rick is fouled and goes to the line... What happens?!?! Watch the video. WARNING: not for the faint-hearted or those prone to panic attacks. Don't worry those who are members of "Rick-Nation" get the happy ending.
This sweet little one is the newest edition to our family. (No..not mine...I'm only 4.5 months) :) Sweet Aliya Ann was born yesterday at 4:23pm in North Carolina to Jacob and Geri Chandler. (Robbie's sister) She was 8lbs. 7oz and 21 inches long. Geri decided to give birth to her "natural" this time with no pain meds. She did it! She ended up walking to the recovery room, and she told Robbie it wasn't "that bad". Go Geri!!! We can't wait to meet her! We love you Aliya!
This is just the fam hanging out at Rick's basketball game, enjoying my hotdog dipped in cheese that I was craving. :) We had a lot of fun...especially with the way the game ended. (Check out the video)
Robbie's birthday fell on "Black Friday" this year. But because our family has the tradition of doing the shopping all day thing, we celebrated his birthday the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Happy Bithday, sweetheart!! I love you so much!
I guess Robbie has only one birthday face. :)
Wow!
I have not meant to let this much time pass by without blogging. Looks like I kind of fell of the blog train for a minute. But I have lots to post. So, keep checking in. One of these days I'll have a little more time!
