19 week checkup

Today Nate and I went to our 19 week check up! Everything is looking great. Baby Ledfords Heart Rate was 146!! Good and strong, and our Lil peanut was moving around like crazy as usual!! We have our ultrasound scheduled for the 17th so we'll be finding out if our Lil peanut really does have a peanut or not!! :) We can't wait! This weekend Nate and I are going to visit the Ledford side of the family! Can't wait to see everyone!!

Here's a couple pictures to share!!

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!!<3

A lil QT..

Nate and I had two whole days off together... This very rarely happens so we wanted to take advantage of it. Our first day we went to lunch at Chili's and then we went to see Iron Man 2! It rained so the majority of our day was spent inside being bums! :)

The second day we spent the entire day outside messing with our landscaping.. Nate was a trooper I must say!! He handled my "now move this here, plant this here, take this out," very well! What a wonderful guy!! :)

Heres what our landscaping looked like before...






and now after a lil TLC....






The back yard was a lil crammed so we made some changes...

After: we still have to put the mulch down




Oh and one last thing...Ollie man got a hair cut!! :)

Mothers and Cubs!!

This weekend a bunch of girls from the NICU went to Cincinnati for the Reds/Cubs game. Go Cubs Go!! Only the turn out wasn't so great! The Cubs lost 14-2.. YUCK!! The ballpark food helped to ease my pains of the lost!! Yummy!! We still had such a fun time though.. Nurses are crazy!! I love the girls I work with!:)





Mothers Day was extra special for me this year! I was able to feel the baby "flutter" for the first time, the greatest feeling ever!!! I think I gave the lil one a sugar buzz from the cupcake I ate!! :) It was doing flips!!! I was also able to go home and enjoy mothers day with two very special mamas. My own mama who is the best mother in the whole world and who I love very very much! Also my sister who is such an amazing mother to a beautiful lil girl Bella!! I hope I can be as great as they are one day to my lil one!!

First Posting

Well folks, this is it! I finally broke down and decided it was time to begin "THE BLOG"!! I figured I should probably start one since Nate and I are going to be extending our family!! We're expecting our first lil one in October and we couldn't be more excited and scared out of our minds all at the same time!! :)

It was so much fun sharing the news with the ones we love!! Nate and I found out Valentines weekend! How perfect! After we found out we drove straight to our parents house to let them in on our little secret. A secret that was sooo hard for me to keep for 12 whole weeks!!!! After our first ultrasound we shared our news with everyone else. I think my mom was on the phone the second i gave her the go ahead!! Heres a couple pictures of our fun journey so far!! I'll be keeping ya posted!!
Love,




No mistaking this one!!
