A Kidney Stone

They say two of the most painful things in life are child birth and kiddney stone. Well I am going to experience both in one month. Pretty exciting huh? I went to the hospital yetserday morning, not really thinking I was in labor, but I knew something was wrong and they informed me that I had a kiddney stone. I was priveladged to stay in the hospital yesterday and this morning and I get to take Tylenol for the pain. How exciting...

Eli's Room

Eli's room is pretty much finished... All it is missing is him.

We are counting down the weeks now.

Here are a few pictures.

Go Cardinals...

The Bob Gibson picture is autographed and Dad was nice enough to let Eli have it in his room.



The hat is amazingly signed by Alber Pujols, Jim Edmonds and Larry Walker. Very Cool!

Loose Park

The belly is getting bigger and BIGGER!!! 6 more weeks or so!!!



Hercules was grazing on the grass.... he had a momentary memory lapse and thought he was a cow!



We go on lots of walks. Loose park is one of our favorite places to go, It's about a 5 min walk from our house. Here are some pictures of our latest journey.

Springfield

We are going to Springfield this weekend for our baby shower!!! We are so excited. I will let ya'll know about it when I get back!

A Rough Day

WoW... sorry that it has been so long. I have just been so busy I have neglected my blog.

The house is going great!!! We just have to finish painting the ceilings and we can start putting stuff in there. We are so excietd. Andrew has does a GREAT job of working on everything. It's so exciting to learn how to do some of this stuff and then we will be able to say we did it ourselves.

Eli is getting BIG!!! He gets the hickups on a regular basis. It is very amusing. He twirls around in my belly all the time. The girl that sits behind me at work just knows that he is working up his escape route and that he is about to head out. :) The docotor said everything is looking good. Our friend is going to take mine and Andy's pictures on Sunday so that we have some pics of the family. Also we are having our baby shower on Sunday!!!! I am so excited!!! My sister-in-law and cousin have worked very hard on it and I'm just sure that it will be WONDERFUL!!!! I'm so excited.

Work has been okay. Today has been a really rough day. The wonderful thing is tomorrow is a new day. I am really struggling with the thought of coming back to work after I have the baby. We are blessed that Andy gets to stay home for eight weeks with Eli and I when he comes. But I really want to be able to stay home after that. Right now it is just not possible. I am really glad God is bigger than our check book though. If any wants to pray for us. It would be great if God would provide a way for me to be able to stay home or atleast work part time. It would also be great if my job would just let me work at home.

Hopefully I will have pictures of the house soon!! And pray that the baby stays in there about 5 more weeks atleast so that we can have a plump (hopefully not to plump)and healthy little boy!

La Casa Del Ward

This is a very exciting time for us as we take the giant leap into home ownership. I think I am looking to most forward to the backyard (as small as it may be) and the ability to LET (opposed to take) the dog out! Casa Del Ward is a 95 year old beauty that sits only three blocks south of Kansas City's Country Club Plaza. We have an extra bedroom so guests are encouraged. We will also be having a painting party the first weeks that we own it and all are welcome...Bring Your Own Brush.
