Hello.. My name is Kasey...

and i'm addicted to babycenter.com January 2008 comment boards.
I have diagnosed myself. I can't get off this stinkin' website for more than like 30 minutes at a time. I would say that I need to find a support group, but this IS a support group! I am constantly reading the threads about everything from contractions to post-p nastiness. And let me also say, what terrible friends and big sister I have for not filling me in on the aftermath! I'll spare the details, but I was almost in tears over my new found information yesterday. It does not sound pleasant. I just keep looking at Rob thinking 'Oh buddy. You are so carrying the next one.' I think my eyes are going to fall out from all the reading, but I keep going back for more.
AHH! it's been ten minutes... time for my next fix....

over the hill....

I am old. I mean it. I am really old. next week is my 23rd birthday, but I am still old. I woke up this morning thinking abut the coupons I can use before the end of the week. I just put on my jammies and realized it was 8:30. My purchases today consisted of groceries because we were running low on cereal. I am old. So I thought, why not list all of the things I've doe in almost 23 years...

Alright, so it's not so bad to be old. I've done alot. I've been incredibly blessed! I have amazing friends that have been with me for years and are still here, as well as new friends that feel like family. I have a wonderful growing family that includes the cutest little girl in the world. And I have an amazing husband that loves me unconditionally. He has seen me in my most shining moments and in my darkest hours and has never given me anything but love and support (unless I'm throwing up. He doesn't do throw up). And now he has given me the chance to be a mom, and better yet, the mom to his little boy. I am completely honored to be his wife. Everyday I watch him put on his uniform and go out to keep the world safe, and everyday I realize again how lucky I am. Our life isn't perfect. We will have to move every few years and there is always work to be done, but it's a great life. I've even grown fond of the moves.

I'm a good blogger

So that seasame seed is not 34 weeks and 5 days along and kicking my butt! He (yeah, it's a boy) is so big and heavy!!! We go to the Dr. on Monday and I hope that we will have a better idea of his actual size. I am terrified that he's going to be 20 lbs!

We have done alot since my last post. Rob graduated from his course in Cali. We moved (temporarily) back to TX and are within 6 weeks of the big day! Rob's currently in a new class that has some pretty great hours. My Dr. is a nutball, but I really like him. And sweet Henry makes his presence known 24 hours a day! I get worried when I haven't felt him every hour!

We are so excited to meet him! That is possibly the biggest understatement I'll make this year. We are SO excited. He isn't even here, but it feels like he's always been with us. I told Rob 'I don't remember not being pregnant.' And I don't! I know at one point I wasn't, but that seems like such a long time ago. I can only imagine what being his mommy in a few weeks is going to be like! I've been 'nesting' like crazy lately. I had the stove apart last night to clean the drip pans and rearranged our 'dining room' as much as I could. We also put our tree up and decorated it last night! As a reformed slob, I can honestly say that being a slob is much easier! Our apartment is so tiny that even the smallest thing on the floor makes the whole place look disgusting. Poor Rob didn't see this coming!

Anyway, this is the boy when he was 27 weeks:

Hi Guys! (are there cuter hands on the planet??)

Sweet Boy!
