NEPHEW!!! 

Wha-hoo!!! I am so excited about Ally’s baby. I kinda mentioned a few blogs ago that my sister, Allison, is pregnant. She is due on Halloween, and last Friday she had her ultrasound and found out it’s a boy. We are all so excited, and to be honest, a little clueless!! We all really only have experience with little girls.

Allison and I have talked a lot about this since she found out she was pregnant, and since I am already home everyday, I have offered to keep the baby for her. If you know me and my sister, you would probably know that I kinda worship her. Since we were kids, I have always followed her around and copied her (much like my own kids do now!). I have gone to her with all my problems and she has always been there for me. I know that she has done much more for me than I have ever done for her – until now, I hope! Ally works 4 days a week and her Thursdays are over at 2. So starting at the beginning of next year, for 3 and 1/2 days a week, we’ll have an extra little boy around this house!! I can’t wait for our new adventure!!

Ally had her ultrasound last Friday and she and Billy were totally mean and made us all wait until AFTER dinner when they had us over to tell us the sex. I’ll show you how they did it through the pictures:

A little explanation. They  made a cake and colored the batter blue. We couldn’t see if it was a boy or girl until it was cut into, or until someone stuck there hand in there to see. Which is what my dad planned to do. So Billy decided to protect the cake with mouse traps…silly Billy!!

Also, a little explanation about “Mini-Toups”. Since Billy has been previously married, when Ally and Billy started dating, their friends started calling them, “The New Toups”. Now since they are pregnant, they came up with a clever name for the baby - “Mini Toups”. We love the term “Mini Toups” and I think it’s going to stick for a long time.

Run. I ran on the treadmill finally today, for the first time since I got pregnant with Marielle. I have been working out on and off since I was 19. I was in college and I noticed that I was out of shape since playing high school volleyball (that first year of college may have also contributed to my out-of-shapeness) and decided to join a gym. I got a trainer and had a few workouts and I stuck with it pretty well through college. When I met Jon, he worked out as well, so it was easy for me to keep up with it. When we got married, we both worked out (usually) 4 days a week. We would get up at 5:00 and go to our separate gyms (I go to an all women’s gym) Monday through Thursday. I even continued to work out all through out my pregnancy with Marielle, but I couldn’t run from the very beginning. When I found out I was pregnant, I kept working out just as hard as usual and started spotting, so I quit running and eased up on my workouts. That was about October or November of 2007. Afte...

A friend in need.

I have a friend. An old friend. A funny friend. A favorite friend. Her name is Jaime Marrs. She was one of my 5 friends at my actual wedding and has been such a fun part of my life. I met Jaime just before my sophomore year in high school, probably in the summertime when we started practicing volleyball. She was a freshman who made the team, but man, what I remember most about her was her attitude. It's not so much that she had a bad attitude, it was that she always had a scowl on her face. I didn't like her. She didn’t talk much and didn’t smile. And she was dating one of the hottest seniors. How dare her? Anyway, one day she didn't have a ride home from volleyball practice. I was riding home with Jill, and Jill offered her a ride. On this ride we talked and laughed and I realized that this scowled-faced girl was pretty funny. I guess the rest is history because Jaime became one of my best friends throughout the rest of high school, through college, through kids, and sti...
