Baby Bump

I hadn't realized how big I have gotten until I was going through old pictures on my phone the other day. Here's a few belly pics to see how Zoey has grown.

We have our next doctor's appt tomorrow so I will have a recent ultrasound pic to post!

Nursery & Baby Bump

We have been very busy lately! One of the things we are busy with is getting Zoey's nursery together. The painting is done & as you can see I couldn't wait to put her bedding on the crib! We found a dresser/changing table in craigslist for only $50! It was a light brown so I'm painting it white & then pink on the drawers. I'm almost finished so I don't have a picture of it quite yet.
Here is a picture of my growing belly! I think I actually look pregnant now but some people still can't tell. Oh well, less weight to lose after :-) I am enjoying the 2nd trimester so much! Hopefully the 3rd will go by just as smoothly!

Zoey Grace Emerson

Well if you can't tell by the title of the post, we found out we're having a GIRL!! We are so excited! We thought we were having a boy so after we got over the initial shock we couldn't stop smiling. It makes it more real knowing the sex of the baby. Here is one of the ultrasound pictures from our appointment:She's getting so much bigger every time we get an ultrasound. We are almost half way there and it is going by so fast!!

Second Ultrasound

We had another doctor's appointment a week ago. Since it was too early to use a doppler to hear the heartbeat we got to have another ultrasound :-) I was happy because the baby actually looks like a baby this time! This is the baby at 11 weeks & 5 days.We have another doctor's appointment on Monday. We are getting some genetic testing done just to rule out some things we have in our families' medical history. We will be getting another sonogram that appointment as well!
Next weekend we are moving into our new house in Arlington. It's a little bigger & it is nicer also. We are getting the keys this weekend so I will post pictures of the house on our next post.
In 2 weeks we'll be in St Croix!! We are definitely ready for vacation. Might be the last big vacation for awhile so we are going to enjoy it :-)

Lots of Good News to Share!

It's been awhile since I've updated & a lot has happened since then!! First thing of course... We're having a baby!!!! We are so excited! It was unexpected but we couldn't be happier :-) Here's our first sonogram. It was almost 4 weeks ago (at 7 weeks pregnant) so our little peanut actually looks like a baby now.I have my next doctor's appt this Friday. I won't be getting another sonogram just yet though.
The next bit of good news is Josh is finally back at Flight Test. He has waited 10 months to be back at the job Bell hired him onto. He doesn't have mandatory overtime anymore either. Needless to say, I have my happy husband back!!
Since his job is now in Arlington we need to move closer so it isn't a minimum one hour drive for him to and from work. We went looking this past weekend and we fell in love with a house. We thought we were 3rd in line to get it but Josh called the owner on Sunday & he said he thought the house was perfect for us. God is definitely looking out for little family!

Christmas, A New Year, and Anniversary!

It's been a long time since I've updated but we have been super busy. Josh has mandatory over time right now so he has to work 60 hour weeks & my school semester has started. I thought I would catch everyone up on what has happened since my last post. We went back home to Oklahoma for Christmas. We had fun, especially since there was snow!


Rocky loved the snow! He stayed outside all day & chased Biscuit & the squirrels!

The whole family watched UP after we all opened presents :-)


Josh was sick the first part of the trip so he didn't get to enjoy all of the good food we had.

We were home in Texas for New Years. We were so tired from traveling we just stayed in and watch the New York NYE on TV.
On January 3rd, Josh & I celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary! We didn't do anything special. We decided to wait & take a vacation this summer once Josh's mandatory over time is over & celebrate then. We did, however, eat our cake from our wedding & we bought a Wii!

My whole family is coming to visit next week & I am getting my hair done finally so I will have some more photos to post next weekend hopefully :-)
