Where has time gone...

Since I last wrote, I have had book club. This month we are reading He's Just Not That Into You. Then our book club girls plan on going to see the movie together either later this month or hopefully early March. We have hung out with our neighborhood friends and have babysat a couple times. It has been a pretty nice couple of weekends. I am always enjoying all of my prenatal water and yoga classes. Oh and how could I forget, I did go to Bernie's Bachelorette night. It is always wonderful to hang with my college/sorority girls again. This weekend I will be going back up to northern va for Bernie's wedding and Ryan will be going to Lynchburg area for Stephanie's wedding. We had to split up since we have two weddings the same day. I will miss him for sure!

About me and baby White. We are doing GREAT! Feeling well and today I am 13 weeks, 3 days!! We just received test results back for the early screening and all looks good and healthy. We are very blessed to have had such a terrific pregnancy thus far. We are looking forward to the day we get to find out the sex. This month we will get to hear the baby's heart beat too which is exciting as well!

Oh and lastly, we have finally planned our babymoon trip (last big vacation before our family begins). We will be flying out to LA for a cruise to the Mexican Riviera on a 7 night cruise on the Sapphire Princess. I am soo looking forward to our vacation as I do every year. It doesn't end there; when we return to LA on the 11th of April we will then fly to Las Vegas to visit my sis. We will be staying at the Mandalay Bay which I am ecstatic to see her and stay at this hotel. I cannot wait to visit Kendra, after all she has visited us soo many times, we are overdue.

Well I think that is it for now and I will be back on sooner than the last. We hope everyone is well and hope you continue to enjoy reading up on us becoming a family.

Week 12 Tomorrow!

Yea! We just had our first ultrasound this morning!It went well! Heart beat was 167 which is supposedly good. I think he/she wanted to sleep because he/she would not move around and lay the way the ultrasound tech wanted it too. I had to cough a few times and walk around to try and wake it up :) he/she waved his hand to say hi a couple times. He/she looks like it has long legs too :) hopefully it will get Ryan's height :) Well love you all and hope you enjoy the photos; they aren't as clear as I'd like, but it is ok. By the looks all looked good, but we will get the test back in about a week to see if it has down syndrome, so hopefully all will be clear there as well.I have to say I am doing pretty well too :)

More to come later...

Today I am 11 weeks and 3 days and counting :-) 200 days till August 7, 2009. We are doing well. Looking forward to the ultrasound on Thursday!

Last week, I had my prenatal water and yoga classes as usual, Junior League on Tuesday, the UNC vs UVA game on Thursday and the Friday night Ryan and I stayed in and laid low. We got Christian's Pizza for dinner; MY FAVORITE :)

Saturday, I went through the closet in the smaller guest room to try and make it as organized as possible. Ryan and I gave a lot of things away too to Salvation Army! We then had to go buy a new humidifier. Our old one was super pricey and broke :( I need the humidifier because otherwise our room just gets so dry; I didn't seem to have any problems when I was younger, my parents need to tell me the trick :) Anyways now we have a new humidifier which I love and it was MUCH cheaper than the one that broke, so hopefully this one will last a while.

Anyways, let me get back on track, Saturday night, we went to dinner with Katie and Michael. That was nice; a treat from them to us! And then came home to pretty much crash.

Sunday, we slept in and was pretty lazy all day and Erin brought Chloe over to see me and Ryan. She is so cute and precious! It was a nice surprise. :) This was Abby's first experience with a newborn around. Abby was shaking whenever Chloe was crying; she was unsure what to do. Then Abby saw Chloe's pacifier and attached to it is a little red dog to help her hold it. Oh once Abby saw that she thought it was a toy for her. Anyways, Abby did ok and was just not sure what this newborn was all about. Then that evening we went to church and ended the night with continued laziness by picking up Chinese food :)

It is nice to have lazy weekends every now and then. I figure Ryan and I should enjoy them, since it will be different when we have our little one around.

As far as this week:
tonight - I have my prenatal water class after work
tomorrow - our work is having yummy pizza for inauguration and then I have my prenatal yoga class after work
Wednesday - nothing exciting
Thursday - OUR 1ST ultrasound!!!! yippee!!! we are sooo excited! and then I have my prenatal water class after work and then off to book club
Friday - probably laying low
Saturday - off to DC for Bernie's Bachelorette Party and return Sunday

Week 10

Today, I am 10 weeks and 4 days and counting :) Still hanging in there and doing pretty well. This past weekend Ryan and I laid pretty low. I babysat on Friday night and then Saturday went to our HOA mtg. Following that Ryan came with me to attend and informational session/social as part of my prenatal program. We learned some about how to read your baby and know what it is trying to say before it can actually talk. It was interesting and made a lot of sense. Saturday afternoon we headed over to Capps' house just to watch the bball game (VT vs UVA at Blacksburg). Sunday we went to church and just hung around the house. All in all it was nice to have a relaxing weekend!

Sorry there was nothing too exciting this time, but next week only a few more days and the first ultrasound picture will be seen :) YEA!

Also, scroll down more below as I did add some more photos from the past month or so. Enjoy!

~ Be back soon ~

Me & New Baby White

We are 9 weeks as of January 2nd and we are both doing very well. I haven't vomited which is great. Hopefully I will have my mom's genes all the way through. I love counting down the weeks and I am just praying for a healthy baby. We have our first ultrasound on January 22nd, so God Willing we will be able to hear the heart beat. As my belly gets bigger I will take pictures to post and we will try and do a better job of updating the blog. My goal to to keep everyone updated on our progress as well as still our adventures in our life.
All the best,
The White Family! :)

My sister and brother had the best reaction. I took a picture of them at Brunch when we got in Christmas Day and they read our card we gave them to tell them the news. I think our families are all very ecstatic. All went well.

We got to see baby Carson too, My cousin, Renee and Chris's first son. He was born on October 23rd, 2008. That was a blast to spend time with him.

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to all!!! ~ love, The White Family

Oh my how time seems to just fly by…

I cannot believe it is already December. I am in awe that Christmas is less than a week away. I cannot wait for Christmas and to see all my family! These past couple of months I have been busy with Junior League of Charlottesville Meetings, Junior League Volunteer Opportunities, Volunteering my Mondays in the Women’s Place at UVA, babysitting for three different families and book club. With all of that in the mix I still manage to try and spend some time with my hubby and Abby of course.

Where I left off was back on the weekend of October 24th Ryan and I went to the Georgia Tech vs. UVA game. UVA did win. We stayed with the Moore’s at their house. It was a very nice weekend and we really enjoyed our time down there. Caps was our driver, oh wait jk, we drove Caps down there and back. I met a few of Matt’s friends which were extremely nice.

The following weekend, October 31st, Friday was free burrito day at Chipotle as long as you were wearing a piece of aluminum foil. So, I got a free burrito for lunch! That weekend we were also invited to the Weaver’s Halloween party. They made terrific Stew with deer meat, moose meat etc. It was great! We took Abby there too – she enjoyed herself, but didn’t know what to do when she saw their pet dear, Baby. Baby is a big dear who comes up to you and lets you pet it and we were able to get a couple photos with my phone. It was so dark; they didn’t turn out too well, but if I can figure out how to get them off my phone, I will show you.

The following Weekend Ryan and I got to drive down to the Wake Forest vs. UVA game. That was nice because we tailgated a little before and were able to stay at a hotel, which I love staying at hotels with my hubby and then after the game we had dinner with a friend of Ryan’s who works for the Deacon Club and I got to meet his wife too.

The next exciting event was the weekend of the 21st of November. Brian and his wife, Kim, came up to visit us from Raleigh. They came for the Clemson game weekend. Kim is a Clemson grad and I introduced her to Katie who too is a Clemson grad. All six of us including Michael hung out that day and night. We had a great time!

Before long, Thanksgiving snuck up on us. The Monday prior to Thanksgiving Ryan and I decided to do a date night with just the two of us. We went to Fluerie a restaurant we hadn’t tried. We both enjoy our meal; it was very good and a nice quaint atmosphere.

For Thanksgiving we drove Grammie and Abby down to Ryan’s parents. We spent a day or two there before we headed back to Charlottesville. Then the following morning Ryan and I drove to Blacksburg, to see my alma matter play Virginia. I was able to catch up and see a lot of friends along with my boss and his family. It was a really nice time a great long weekend which went by way too fast! The following weekend - first weekend of December. Friday night Ryan had his Christmas Party and Saturday morning Ryan and I volunteered for the toy lift which was a great experience. Then that night we went to my work Christmas Party at Alice’s house. That was very nice, catered with great food! The following weekend Ryan and I left for Shane’s graduation, with Kyle and Abby of Course. We had a nice dinner with Ryan’s mom and my mom. Then we were at Shane’s UNC graduation all day Sunday. We got to see family which was very nice too! If I get any pictures back from Family I will add them too.
