Allyson For Sure

Well we went back to the doctor today and everything was looking good. She is 100% GIRL! There was no question this time. She still had her little ankles crossed but it was a clear picture. Everything else looked great. She is snuggled up inside and is moving lots now! I am taking summer classes this summer and honestly loose my train of thought sometime because she is doing flips inside! We are very excited to begin the nursery. We have her bed and other furniture all picked out. We are thinking Lady Bugs for her nursery but are going to make the final decision this weekend. Daddy's ready to begin painting. Her closet is already nearly full of clothes, but a girl can never have too many. She already has two pairs of shoes! (She will be born to love shoes)

We go back to the doctor the 24th for a visit. We will continue to keep everything posted and add pictures as we come along with the nursery!

Well the baby was once again contrary. This time it was her ankles that were crossed. We tried everything from drinking caffeine to almost doing dances. However, I requested that the doctor come in and give it a try. He didn't see any boy parts and was for sure he saw girl. So I quickly asked 80% sure its a girl and he was confident in saying, "I would say for sure 80%." You could tell he was 100% but just didn't want to make the assumptions without visually viewing the correct image. However, to be 100% for sure once again I go back for the third ultrasound in a month on June 11th. They also needed to check one other thing. She was very comfortable inside, healthy, and already causing mommy and daddy to almost have a nervous breakdown. Her mouth was moving and she snuggled with her hands close to her face.

We are actually on our way to Gatlinburg and I am buying PINK! I will save the receipts but he was very confident that baby K is a GIRL!

We are very excited to actually be calling her by name!

I'm Contrary

We went this morning to find the gender of the baby, and rather than learning the physical characteristics we found the personality and yes the baby is 100% Kerr, I mean contrary.

We'll be going back next week for a 2nd opinion and hopefully we'll know what the gender is at that point.

Postponed until Wednesday May 28th

Tuesday May 20th is the Primary Election Day in KY, but a lesser know fact is that it is and always will be known as "Baby K Gender Day".
This came about from a discussion one day when looking at each of the Mapping Group's schedules to determine a few of our needs. Ashley Littell, one of the GIS Analyst at work, made note that it should be Baby K Gender Day and thus from that day forward it has been recognized as such.
I look forward to letting you know the results on Tuesday

The First Portrait

It's been about three weeks since this was taken so we're sure the baby has grown considerably since then, however, this is the first portrait of our baby! This was an amazing picture to say the least. We were not able to hear the heart beat however we did get to see the heart pumping. We'll try to keep this updated a little bit more often now that things are rolling along much more steadily and as we make plans for the baby's arrival.

Surprise

Melody and I found out last week that we're expecting a new "Bundle of Joy". Obviously we're very excited about this news and the many changes that this will bring to our lives.

We hope to document the journey through the pregnancy as well as "Little Baby Kerr's" journey.

We'll be going for the first doctors visit on Thursday the 21st.
