Here is our little darling. Today we had our first ultrasound! And the votes are in.........Baby Addison is a littel GIRL ! Here is picture of her and she is upside down. It is a profile picture of her and the big thing on top is her belly! Holy Cow! She was moving her mouth open and shut and squirming all around. So our little girl showed herself today and her name is Khloe Graceanne Addison. We have always liked the name Khloe and the middle name is very significant to us. Nate's first niece was born with a very rare bone disease. She passed away after 1 short day. Her name was Grace Ann. We could think of no better way to remember her beautiful life than to give our daughter her name.

Okay, now this was an unexpected treat. The girl that did our ultrasound was training and still in school. So this is an 4D ultrasound. It is hard to see it, but turn your head to the right. It is a picture of her and she has both arms and hands up in front of her little face. Too cute!

Here is my 18 week picture. I can't believe how big I am starting to get. Oh well.......now that I am feeling better it is sooooo exciting! I feel huge, but when I post these pictures I think that I don't look as bad as I look in the mirror. Thank goodness!

Here I am at 16 weeks

Here is our 16 week picture. We decided to do a fall picture snce the leaves were so beautiful.

Here is my 14 weeks picture. I am wearing a little half jacket because I am soooo grossed out by my white, chubby arms. For some reason I feel like my 12 week picture makes me look bigger than this one. Maybe I am just having a "skinny" day. I am sure those will be few and far between soon! hehe We will be finding out on November 20th what we are having - as long as Little Baby Addison cooperates. The heartrate has dropped a little and is now at 153. We are going to start taking a poll to see what everyone thinks the baby is. Please post a comment telling us what you think. We love to know what others think because Nate and I have totally different guesses on what the baby is. He KNOWS it is one thing and I KNOW it is the other! Let us know what you think and I will post our next one in 2 weeks.

Well, here are the three yayhoos at the Homecoming Dance. Once again my husband was volunteered to look like an idiot! Only a few of the teachers were asked to do this and for some reason these three are always the ones chosen? Hum? Nate is the Tin Man, Dean Schulmeister is the Cowardly Lion, and Jason Dunning is the Scarecrow. Aren't they cute! They did a fabulous job of playing there part.

Nate and I at the Homecoming dance. Can you believe some poor child is going to call him Daddy? I have had enough of putting make-up on him for one weekend. Homecoming was such a fun weekend for the kids and, as you can see, for the teachers as well. At the Homecoming parade our Harley Mae was a superstar! She road in the parade and sat on the float like she was a pro! Everyone was taking her picture and I think she might be as famous as Sparky the Fire Dog by now-just my opinion though.

Here is the crew skipping down the Yellow Brick Road, or just the hallway of MHS, but you gotta work with what you have. None of them were happy that they had to act like they were skipping for me, but all did it for me anyway. This was the end of the night and everyone was just a little tired of being in costume. I have to admit that it was a long night for everyone. After standing in heels for over 4 hours I thought I would never get my shoes off!

Well, here is Nate and some of his fellow teachers at MHS. Every year I wonder how my husband gets volunteered for stupid things like this, but need I really ask! Tonight he was one of the members of KISS. He played the drums like a champ and I really think for one night he thought he was a rock star! Leather chaps, face paint, drums, rock music, and tons of people screaming - KISS performance was awesome!

Here are the rockers again-this time a little more close up. Nate is the second from the right with the not so fake tattoos on his arms. What can I say-I guess he was born to be a rocker! He was really getting into character because he wouldn't smile for any of the pictures. Looking good guys!

Here is Nate and I at the bonfire for
MHS Homecoming. He is still in his Rock Star mode.

Here is Nate with his twin- Jason. I swear that they were separated at

birth. It is scary sometimes how

alike they are! Court can back me!

Here is Nate when he first found out that I was pregnant. He definately
fits the bill for being a proud Daddy! I had put the pregnancy tests in a bag with
a little shirt that said Little Wildcat in Training. When he realized what was going
on he was sooooo excited! - as you can tell!

This says it all! Two lines means Baby Addison is on the way!

This was my first picture taken. I am 8 weeks along here. I still feel pretty non- pregnant, but definately am pregnant. All day sickness is taking over my

life these days!

Here is my 10 week picture. People said they can't really

tell, but I can. Clothes are fitting a little tighter this week.

Here is our latest Momma picture. This picture was taken last Thursday when I was 12 weeks along. I am only doing an actual belly pic every three months to spare you all ! I don't know where the belly came from this week - but it is definately there. It is like it came out this weekend all the sudden.

Hello Everyone !

Hey Everyone! We are new to this whole blog thing so please bear with us. After many people telling me how easy it is, I figured I might as well try it. This will probably end us being like our MySpace and I never get around to updating it - but I will give it my best shot.

For those of you who don't know already - Nate and I are expecting our first baby next April. We are very excited and feel so blessed. We heard the heartbeat yesterday and it was a very loud 160. We are trying not to read into it and think that it might be a girl or a boy. We should find out what we are having some time in November. We are going to be taking a poll to see what everyone thinks later next month - so everyone get ready to guess!

This summer Nate and I went on another amazing vacation to St. Lucia. We knew that we were going to start trying to have kids soon so this was our last hoorah. We went with Nate sister and her husband. (Sheila and Dave) We had an amazing time. The island is beautiful and so was the resort. We stayed at a different one than we did for our honeymoon and almost liked it better. We love the beach and are looking forward to taking the little one eventually. It will actually give Nate someone to play with! St. Lucia was beautiful and it was awesome to have someone there sharing it with us this time. Nate and Dave did the men things and Sheila and I got massages on the beach! Awesome! Unfortunately all good things must come to and end. After and amazing week there we had to come back to reality, but we will never forget the memories that were made there.
