Baby Arrival!!!

I just spoke to my friend Nicole, and she had Kate Virginia on Friday afternoon at 3:30 pm via c-section (November 21). Mom and baby are happy and healthy. She is 9 lbs and looks like Justin. They will have pics posted soon after they get home. Her baby blog is:

A Pirate's Life for Ben

I don't really have any baby updates for you today. I think I felt it move yesterday, but I'm not sure. Ben swears he felt it! We've decided where the baby will sleep for the first few months - in my closet! It is a good size room and it is more of a nook off of our bedroom. So, we will be close by, but have our separate spaces. I wanted to put it in the laundry room (which is a large bedroom size room) but Ben said I would have a hard time doing laundry. I guess he's right! Once we finish the bathroom downstairs we will probably move our room down there, so the "kids" can be upstairs. I'll post some before and after pics of the "baby's room" soon.  

In other news, Ben enrolled in his first "real" college course Friday. He is officially a Pirate now. He is so excited, he walked around the campus by himself in the snow. Yes, it started flurrying in Greenville, NC. He will be taking a nutrition course online this spring. He will take the rest of his courses at JSCC.  That's all for now.

Good To Go

We had a doctors appointment yesterday and everything is good to go so far. The heart beat was 152, so that is good. It was our first time to hear it, so that was pretty cool! Ben got really excited and just knows it is going to be a little runner. He said I am 15 weeks as of today, so our due date is now May 5th, which is cutting it too close to the end of school! I guess I will just have to be really organized and have the grades done a little early! I am so thankful that I will have the summer off to enjoy with our new addition. 

I am now wearing maternity clothes and I am sooooo much more comfortable. I feel so cute! I have a whole new wardrobe, even though it is a little big. I know I will grow into everything. (Thanks Suz and Lin!) Since I need to start wearing maternity clothes, I plan to tell my boss today, so wish me luck! I am also telling my classes and co-workers. They are all the last to know.
