New Baby!

For some reason I am really in a writing mood today so I thought I should write something somewhat useful like a blog update.  Things have been crazy over the past 2 months.  After 2 hospital stays that combined to about a month Kati gave birth to our darling little Alina Lyn.  She was born on March 22 2012 at 8:59 a.m.  She was born 5 weeks early so she had to stay in the NICU for a couple of weeks but she was eventually allowed to come home on Easter Sunday.   She has been a really good baby at home.  She has her "fussy time" as Kati calls it but other than that she normally does very well.  She loves being in the water for bath time, and loves it when we sing to her.  She will just relax and focus on the singer very intently.  She still has loads of thick dark hair and doesn't show any signs of losing it.  Her eyes appear to be turning blue but it may still be a bit early to tell.  If they do, she may end of looking a lot like her Aunt Angie, and there is nothing wrong with that.  She brings joy into our lives every day, and can brighten any mood with a quick flash of her smile.  We love her very much, and we want to thank everyone who has taken the time to come see her and also everyone for the help the have provided to us so we can make sure she has a healthy home to grow up in.  Thank you, we love you all!

                                            

Bun in the Oven!!!

Hey all! Its been a while since we updated our blog. I am not a blogger but hope to become more of one. As most of you know we are expecting our first baby!!! I am 32 weeks along right now. 8 more weeks!!! When we first got pregnant Nate told me he didn't care what we were having. Then the week of the ultra sound he told me that he really wants a girl. I was excited to find out what it was till the day of the ultra sound. I realized that I am more concerned if the baby was healthy and growing like it should, with how sick I was. The ultra sound tech reassured me that our baby is very healthy. At the start of the ultra sound the tech said he was going to try and get the sex of the baby then because that is when they usually are the most willing to show. Our baby did not want us to know. At the end when the tech was checking the heart beat he said from the heart beat he is going to say boy. Then he looked to see if he could see the sex. Our baby spread HER legs to show that she is in fact NOT a boy!!! It was pretty cool! We have chosen the name Alina Lyn Garrett. Alina is Romanian and when Nate told me the name I fell in love with it! Alina is due on April 21st. We can't wait to meet her! (And I can't wait till this pregnancy is over. It has been rough on me.) 
On another note, this month Nate and I will be celebrating 2 years of marriage!!! I can't believe it has been 2 years already. How time flies!
