Here is Baby Jacob....

come let Aunt Kiki hold you!!! I couldn't hold back my tears when I saw our good friends Cindy, Dave, Asa, and Baby Jacob...nine days old! They are like family to us. Wonderful people and we miss living right next door to you! We have had so many good times together. Now Jacob and Addison can one day marry and the Keltners will have an Asa and Addison in there family again and we can move close together again. I can't wait to see you....not much longer!!!

April 26...Nevada here we come!!!

Wow, Megan and I had an early morning off to the airport in Norfolk, VA, but we were so excited to see our good friend Cindy and her new arrival- Baby Jacob nine days old. Of course you can see we had to make time to goof off in the airport. I was so excited to share this trip with Megan. We learned we have a lot more in common than we ever knew. She is such a great person! Oh, and thanks Megan for helping during those sickening landings! You have to love morning sickness /motion sickness!

April 25 continued...

this was the longest day ever! For my last day at work a few of us girls went to lunch at one of my favorite places, Ruby Tuesday's. After work a bunch of us got together for ONE LAST HOORAY at Greenies on the deck. It was nice sitting by the water with my peeps reminiscing. It was very emotional and exhausting...but so worth it!

Our house in VA Beach...

Well, here we are early morning of April 25, saying good-bye to our home. We put so much work into making this place a home. We were certainly proud of what we had accomplished with it. We wanted to do so much more, but you all know how it goes with the military...time for another PCS! So good-bye house! Time to move on to a new place! This was a ridiculously emotional and busy day for ole preggo me! So many new things to come....

Good friends...

here are some more of my good friends from work...Jamie and Christel...Kim and Megan couldn't make it. :( I miss our lunch dates and our girls out events! We had so much fun!

Jenny and I....aka J-Poo and C-Poo...

at my birthday lunch at Cheesecake Factory. Jenny has been such a good friend to me. I never thought I could find someone that had so many of the same quirks as I do! We began our friendship through work and I am so glad that I met her. I believe certain people come into our lives for a reason. She some how knows how to calm me when I need it the most. Thanks for being there Jenny! You are such a caring and thoughtful person! I enjoy every minute that we spend together. I miss you and I hope to see you soon!

TSD Shower cake....

Finally! I figured out how to get at least one picture in my blog! Here is my yummy cake!

Baby Shower

My friends from work threw me shower. Wow, they must've gotten that one together fast! I would have more pictures, but this is all I had on my camera. I couldn't figure out how to get the others from my email to blog. They even had my favorite cake with butterflies! It was too cute and delicious! Thanks you guys! My dear friend Jamie made the diaper cake and the scrapbook for me. Thanks Jamie! I know they took you a lot of time...especially the scrapbook! What a great idea for a gift!

My peeps!!!

Now that I am finally back to blogging, (sorry it took so long!), I have to start off where I left, and here it is with my TSD peeps! I worked with this group and can't you tell we got a lot of work done! I miss you guys! I couldn't have had a better group of people to work with. I made so many friends...a few didn't get to make it for the photo, but I do miss you all! We made work fun and that is how it should be. I hope they all are doing well and maybe even miss me a little too! Take care you guys!

Addison's New Outfit

I saw this adorable outfit at Target and could not resist! I thought Paul would really like it. I can't wait to see her wear it.

Diaper Cake & Scrapbook

What a beautiful diaper cake! My very good friend Jamie made this for me!!! She knew I wanted one badly. My coworkers threw me a going away cookout and surprised me with a shower as well at the last minute. I had no idea! Jamie spent a lot of time on this cake and it turned out absolutely gorgeous! Thank you Jamie. I really appreciate your thoughtfulness. You are a true friend!

Here are the darling shoes that were on top of the cake. Jamie even stuffed these super soft, super cute socks in them. I loved that idea! Now Baby Addison will have some super soft socks like her mommy thanks to Jamie. I can't wait to see her tiny feet in these adorable shoes. I loved the whole thing!

Jamie also made a BEAUTIFUL scrapbook! I know this took her a lot of time and effort to make this. And yes, it was all I could do was not to cry when I opened this up and saw what it was. For all of you who know me, know I LOVE handmade things like this. She even put Addison's name on the front page. Thank you so much Jamie! I do not have pictures of the rest of the party because I did not have my camera, that is why I only have these couple of pictures that I took myself at home. I will have to show you the beautiful cake they did for me. Jenny remembered my favorite cake is yellow cake with chocolate icing! The cake had beautiful pink and purple butterflies on top that I got to keep. The whole day was very nice. Thanks everyone! I will miss you all very much! It really is a bitter sweet good-bye.

Christins 27th Birthday!!! Plus 20 wks photo shots!

27 year's old! To celebrate my day, my loving husband made me this beautiful heart shaped cake! My favorite...yellow cake with chocolate icing! Isn't he the best?!










I had to include this picture of Paul dancing. He is so funny even after all of these years he still makes me laugh!

Okay, so here Addison and I are 20 weeks along the way...halfway there!!! I can't wait to hold her in my arms! Paul and I made this Bunny, Gracie, on my birthday for our little girl to give to her on her birthday. We put two hearts full of wishes plus a soothing lullaby song in her palm just for her. Hopefully she likes her!

It's a GIRL!!!

IT's A GIRL!!! YEA!!! It was totally obvious in the pictures! Paul would not let me share those certain pictures with the worldwide web so you guys only get to see the non-graphic ones. But just let me tell you I could even tell it was a girl from the picture. She gave us a great view right away! This baby may not be bashful at all. It was the first thing that popped up on the screen! So as soon as we went in there and I laid down the doctor was like "So do you want to know the gender?" We were like "YES!"

I really liked the profile pictures. Hopefully, they scanned well. I also had to include the hand shot. She was waving at her parents! This little girl is very active and already a great kicker! I think she gets the kicking from me...oh, no!

Baby Addie, Paul calls her! Addison Grace...our little girl! This has been such an amazing experience and we love her so much already!

Paul Clean Shaven! Plus Baby Addies' First Outfit!

Here we have Paul's before and after shot of his gruffy beard. Take a good look because it will probably be quite some time before he gets to grow another one like this. He is off back to the real military world with his high and tight!

I think he looks so much younger clean shaven! My handsome man!
Baby Addies' FIRST outfit!!! It says 'One Of A Kind' on it with a pink teddy bear. Her Daddy picked it out for her! Isn't it so tiny!

17 week belly shots!

These are for Paul who wanted to take pictures of just of my belly. He says you can really tell there is a baby growing in there. See the difference?! I have been feeling the baby more these last few days. It feels almost like bubbles bursting.

16 weeks preggo picture!!!

Here we are 16 weeks along the way to a new addition to our life. Oh, we can definitely tell there is something growing in there! I had my check-up Wednesday. All was well, but this baby may be shy like its mama! It would not move its legs for us to see anything! She really tried to get 'him' to move, but he was just kicking and moving his arms having a little party in there, but then she finally got him on his side and he pulled his legs up into his chest and said absolutely not! I think he is just stubborn like his daddy! Paul said he is just modest like his mama! Only time will tell. We have our big ultrasound on March 31! So everyone keep their fingers crossed for us! Yes, I blog as soon as I know something. So far I have gained 7 pounds, which the doctor said is good--especially since I have still been throwing up! Oh, and I felt flutters TWICE! Very weird...and awesome! This is such an amazing experience!

Paul wearing my apron!

I had to blog this picture of Paul wearing my apron! The dogs are looking at him like he is crazy!

The last picture is Isabell going after frozen peas! Yes, frozen peas! Paul had a bag of frozen peas on his head for a headache and the bag busted and peas went everywhere! Well, the dogs thought they were the greatest snack ever! Isabell really went crazy. Who ever knew I could have been buying peas all this time for their snacks!

12 week Pregnancy Pictures!

Here we have our 12 week pregnancy picture! Yes, my waist has gotten bigger! I have a bump already! Certain jeans do not like me right now, but that is okay because it means the baby is growing which is great! I look so happy in this picture can't you tell. I was nauseated...as usual!
The next picture I love...it is my hand and Paul's hand making heart over my tummy! Too cute! It was Valentine's Day.
Which then we have my beautiful flowers he sent me to work along with candy! He is too good! I don't know how I got so lucky! I love him! :)
We just went to the Doctors yesterday for our checkup. So far I have gained 4 pounds which she said is perfect and the baby has doubled in since my last visit 4 weeks ago! I got to see 'him' again on an ultrasound and I got to hear 'his' heartbeat again! It was amazing. It was a heartbeat coming from my body that was not my own...almost creepy, but wonderful at the same time! This baby is so loved! Our next appointment is March 19...we are going to try to find out the sex of the baby. I will keep you all posted!
