First look at Baby Collins

Had my ultrasound today....Baby Collins had a good strong heartbeat, and there's just one baby in there! The lady doing the ultrasound did see cyst on my right ovary and she said at first she thought it was a twin. I'm not sure if I'd rather it be a twin or a cyst. Here's the first glimpse at baby we got:

First Doctor Visit

After waiting what seemed like forever (both since I found out I was pregnant and today at the doctor's office), I finally had my first pregnancy doctor visit today. Poor Clint forgot about it and wasn't able to go, and I started to get a little nervous about it and my awesome friend, Caroline, offered to go with me, and how grateful I am! I really hate that she had to sit there with me for three hours, only to just chat with the doctor and not get to hear the heartbeat. Dr. Boxell tried, but she said it was too soon (and I also think it was because of the extra layers of fatness on my belly). So, I go for an ultrasound on October 27, which Clint better not forget about, and then for my next doctor visit November 17. Thanks again to Caroline for going with me. You have no idea how much I appreciate it!

As you may already know....

I'm not real sure who all reads this except for maybe Sarah and Caroline (guess I need to send another email), and you two already know, but Clint and I found out yesterday that I am PREGNANT!! I'm estimating that I'm about 5 weeks along but I can't get in to see the doc until October 14. That puts me due in May.

My gift to Clint

Here are a couple of pictures of Clint opening and reviewing the gift I worked my tail off on putting together....it's a quite incredible (if I must say) scrapbook of all kinds of pictures that I got my hands on! I am very proud of it and I think he loved it! Thanks Caro for helping me so much with it and allowing me to spend so much time at your house making it!

Clint's Surprise 31st Birthday Luau

We had Clint's party on Sunday, and though I know he figured out I was having a party for him, he did say he was surprised when he got there. Special thanks to Caroline and her mom, Lorene, for helping me decorate and helping out during the party and all, and to Sheila as well. I could NOT have done this party without yall! And thanks to all who came to the party and helped out! Needless to say, it got pretty wild later in the night. Here are a few pics:
