Christmas Recap

Hello All! I hope everyone had a FABULOUS Christmas. We certainly did :) Jim and I are so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends. We headed to my Grandmother's house (mom's mom) Christmas Eve morning and spent time with family. My dad's family also lives near there, so Jim and I headed over to my Aunt Debbie's house to visit with them as well! Overall, it was a GREAT time had by all! Here are a few pics:

In baby news: I will be 26 weeks on Tuesday!!! I can't believe it is going by so fast, yet so slow at the same time :) I passed my sugar glucose test.....which is great news considering my sugar has been really high. Baby Ainsley is moving all the time now! Jim and I can just sit and watch her moving in my belly.....so neat and weird!!! We have got to start getting things ready for her! We have a lot to do on her nursery and we haven't even registered for anything yet. We are going to start a baby class on January 7th....I am so excited to learn more about the whole process! Here is a pic of me from Christmas day.....I am 25 weeks and 3 days pregnant

We hope everyone has a great week!

Love, 

Jim, Katie, and Ainsley

Getting Ready for Baby!!

Well.....I am a blogging slacker!! Sorry :)

Lots has been going on around our house lately!! I am now 23 weeks....only 17 weeks to go! I can't believe it!! What is happening this week? Baby Ainsley is about 8 inches long and just over a pound in weight....boy has she grown! In the next month, she will double in weight. I have gained 7 pounds so far and continue to walk and exercise. Jim and I went to the dr. last week and my sugar was really high....so we are having to do the Glucose test next Thursday. Please pray that everything goes smoothly, and we are both healthy.

We also got her crib and bedding in this week!! we are still waiting on the dresser/changer combo to arrive....but in the mean time we have put together the crib and put the bedding in! Now we just need our sweet little girl here :) Here are some pics:

THANKFUL!

I wrote this post at Thanksgiving.....but never got around to posting it! Better late than never :)

Happy LATE Thanksgiving! I have so many things to be thankful for this year.

- I am thankful for my supportive family and friends

- thankful for my amazing, selfless, supportive best friend I call my husband

-thankful for this precious miracle that God has chosen for Jim and myself

- thankful that so far this precious baby is healthy and right on track :)

- thankful Jim to to feel his little girl kick the other night!!

- thankful for the beautiful house Jim and I live in

-thankful for a job I LOVE and the sweet kids that greet me daily :)

-thankful for a doctor that Jim and I both like to go see

- thankful for my loving God

- and THANKFUL and BLESSED for the wonderful years I DID get to spend with my sweet parents. They created such wonderful memories and traditions for me that I can't wait to pass on to my little one :) They truly were the BEST parents anyone could have asked for and I am THANKFUL!!

We have finally decided on a name for our sweet little one. Ainsley Christine.....I just love the name Ainsley and Christine was my mom's name, so it is extra special! We are over halfway there!! WAHOO....I can't wait to meet this precious little girl! I have been feeling her move and Jim got to feel her kick on Monday, November 29th!!! It was so exciting!!! What a special time this is for us :) I just love how attentive Jim already is to this baby....and I can't wait to see him when she finally gets here!

I will leave you with some pics from Thanksgiving Day:

Baby Cobb is GIRL!!!!

Shame on me for not blogging sooner! Jim has been on me to update the blog for days and days :)

We found out that Baby Cobb is a GIRL! We are just so excited!! We are still working on a name...but we are almost certain her name will be Ainsley Christine. Ainsley I just love and Christine was my mom's name....so it is EXTRA special to Jim and I!! I have been looking at bedding and have found some things I really like...but I just can't bring myself to buy anything yet. I just have this underlying fear that Baby GIRL Cobb will turn into Baby Boy Cobb! I know I am crazy!! :)

Here is a picture of me at 19 weeks...steadily getting bigger :)

I have also already started decorating for Christmas....I know I am crazy!! I just couldn't wait. Here are the pics from the banister....next up the new 12 foot tree we bought last week!! So exciting! I LOVE the holidays!!

Anxiously waiting!!

Happy November!! I can't believe October has already come and gone! Christmas will be here before we know it! :)

We go to the dr. Tuesday to find out if Baby Cobb is a girl or a boy! I can hardly wait :) Be sure to check back because I will be updating!!

Have a great rest of the weekend!

Love, 

Jim, Katie, and Baby Cobb

Not much longer.....

Hey all! I hope everyone has had a great week so far. Jim and I have been very busy around our house! I think I am already "nesting" and trying to get everything ready before baby gets here!We got a new light fixture in our master bathroom!! YAY!

We also got our kitchen and dining rooms painted. Here are some pics:

And now for baby news......which is really what all of you out of town people want to hear! Baby Cobb is 16 weeks and 1 day old :) We go November 3rd for our next Dr.'s appointment....and if all goes well we will find out the sex! Baby Cobb is about 4 and 1/2 inches long and 3 and 1/2 ounces. I have gained 3 pounds so far. Hopefully, I will start to feel the baby move soon! They say this possible at starting at 16 weeks....but everyone is different! Here is a pic for all those not here!

Hope everyone has a great rest of the week!

Love,

Jim, Katie, and Baby Cobb

Getting things ready....

Hey everyone! Well....we went to the Dr. yesterday, and we are now 15 weeks along. The baby's heartbeat was 156 beats per minute....which is great she said! Even more exciting is that we will HOPEFULLY find out the sex in a little less than 3 weeks! YAY!!! If you know me,you know patience is NOT one of my strong suits. SO we will go back to the Dr. November 3rd to find out girl or boy. I can't wait to know so we can quit calling Baby Cobb an "it"!! Here I am at 15 weeks :)

We are also in the process of doing some remodeling to our house! Jim and I bought a new house in April, but there are some cosmetic things I want done. I know now is the time to do it BEFORE the baby gets here! We have a painter coming next week to paint the kitchen and the dining rooms. I can't wait to see the difference! Here are some pics of the before....I will show the after next week.

We hope everyone has had a GREAT week so far! Thanks for checking in on us!

First Purchase

Happy Fall Ya'll! I just love Fall! The weather has been perfect, leaves are starting to change color, and it is time to get all of the pumpkin decor out!

We are now 14 weeks and 1 day along in our pregnancy! Overall, I am feeling well....just a little tired at the end of the day! I have been getting up and going to the gym before school so that I can walk on the treadmill and try and stay fit! We go next Tuesday to the dr for a check-up, and then HOPEFULLY we will go again in 4 weeks and find out the sex! I can't wait!!

So....what is happening to the baby at 14 weeks?? Well, Baby Cobb is about the size of a clenched fist. His/her neck is getting longer and the head more erect. And....on top of the head it might be starting to sprout some hair! Eyebrow hair is also filling in now. So Baby Cobb is working hard!

Jim surprised me and brought home a Jeep running stroller on Saturday! I was SOOO excited :) This is our first purchase so it makes it extra special! I can't wait to have our baby on it....especially on days when it feels this great outside!

We will update you next week after our Dr.'s appointment!

Love,
Jim, Katie, and
Baby Cobb

WEEK 13!!

First, I want to say Happy 28th Birthday to my wonderful husband! Baby Cobb and I are VERY lucky to have him in our lives :) He has been fantastic throughout the whole pregnancy so far....and he is SO excited about this baby! It brings a smile to my face thinking about how GREAT of a daddy he is going to be :)

Here I am at 13 weeks...not much of a bump! Jim and I take a picture each week so we can see the changes :)

What is happening at 13 weeks?

Well....Baby Cobb is about the size of a peach....measuring about 3 inches! The baby's intestines are now starting to find their permanent position in the baby's abdomen. Baby Cobb is also developing his or her vocal cords this week....getting ready for all of the crying and cooing :)

I am truly AMAZED at this miracle growing inside of me! I am LOVING evey minute of it and can't wait till I have a baby bump :)

Thanks for checking in on us! Don't forget to sign the guestbook!

Love,

Jim, Katie, and Baby Cobb

Baby on the way!

Hey everyone! Jim and I have decided to start a blog so that all of our friends and family can follow along with us as we start this AMAZING journey in our life! We are thrilled beyond words to be expecting our first child April 6th! God has truly blessed us with this little miracle :)

We went to the doctor yesterday for a health screening test. As you can see from the pictures above.... everything looked great! Baby Cobb is growing and looking very healthy! We are now 12 weeks and 1 day. The baby is about 2 and 1/2 inches long now and had a heartbeat of 176 beats per minute! It was AMAZING to see our sweet little one in 3-d!! What an AWESOME sight!

We are so excited to be able to share everything that is going on with our family and friends....especially those who are not close by! We will be updating belly pics, ultrasound pics, and nursery pics! Please feel free to leave comments at the bottom of the blog! Bare with us as we learn the world of blogging!!

We love you all!

Jim, Katie, and Baby Cobb
