Baby Amell Update

We went back to the Dr. today, whom by the way, I love! Dr. McDaniel is great...so personal and very in depth. We went thinking it was simply a, let's see how much you weigh and how much your uterus has grown kind of appointment. However, much to our surprise, she said, "Let's go do an ultrasound just for fun!" We didn't hesitate.....we love seeing our baby! The first (and last) time we had seen "it", it was just a little "pea!" Today, it had arms, legs, fingers and toes!! You may say, of course, babies have those, but we were so excited and most of all, thankful that we could see them! Although they are only about 3 inches long right now, we love them so much already! February 18th is our next visit, where we will find if we will be decorating in pink or blue. Don't ask me how or why, but I just know it's a boy. You may all prove me wrong in 3 weeks, but it's just my feelings! And, the fact that I just believe my poor Dad deserves a "Grandson." He's lived with TOO many women over the past 25 years! I still can't express how excited we are, BOTH of us, for all that is to come....I just can't keep myself out of baby stores, wanting to buy everything I see, and again, I am drawn to BLUE!!!! I have to tell you all, that you too, should hope it's a boy. Otherwise, I'm going to have the first female to ever play football since Jared's way of "talking" to our baby is to get on his knees and yell, "Blue-42, trips-left!" Yes, my husband calls out plays to our child......does this surprise you? I have gained about 4 lbs since being pregnant and she said I need to gain more. Hello!!!!!!!! I left the Dr. and went straight to Arby's!!!!!!!!! That just gave me more incentive to EAT! WAHOO!!!! Keep up, I'll let you know in 3 weeks......pink or blue????!!!!!

Happy New Year 2009!

The New Year was brought in pretty quietly by the Amell's this year! Although not too eventful, we had a great time spending it with family and friends! 2009 is going to be an incredible year, although last year, I would not have thought it could have been topped. I thought getting married was the happiest day of my life and it will be until the day comes that I will become a Mom, a long awaited dream of mine. Jared and I are thrilled more than words can express and God bless him for being such a wonderful husband to me, especially lately! I thought it couldn't get any better, but how things change! So, Happy New Year, it's going to be an exciting one!!!!!

I'M GOING TO BE A MOM!!!!!!

Yes, it's true, I'm going to be a MOM!!! WAHOO!!!! I had my first official Dr.'s vist Monday, December 1st, and what a way to begin the month.....I was already 7 1/2 weeks!! We even heard a HEARTBEAT!!!!! It's so amazing and what's even more is to learn what is going on each and everyday as my little one develops inside of me! My mom bought us an amazing book, in which "DR. J" as I now call him, is reading to me every night. It details each day how our baby is growing and developing into a beautiful little boy/girl??? Which will it be?!?! We have to find out, as of course, I will HAVE to have everything ready and awaiting when its' time for them to arrive! Stay tuned and we will keep you informed on our first and most amazing Journey to Parenthood!!!!!!!

Christmas 2008

Our First Christmas as "The Amell's" was wonderful! Making it even more special is when we think of next year and how different it will be! We will have a 5 month old and Santa will be making his way to our house! Every second of our Holidays was spent with family, but what better place to be! We hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas as much as we did!
