4- HAPPY BIRTHDAY COUSIN JOHN!

Starting today we will now see the Dr. EVERY WEEK! We still can't believe that we are already to this point of our pregnancy. Now that we see the Dr. every Monday, we know we are on the downhill run! I have successfully gained the 35 lbs that the Dr was hoping for. Baby's heartbeat is 147 and I have begun to dilate! 2cm & 75% effaced. The Dr. has reassured me that the 'contractions' that I felt last Friday were real and that I should monitor them. Now it will just be a waiting game. Who knows how long we will be at this stage... a few days? a couple of weeks?? We'll keep you posted!

5- HAPPY BIRTHDAY COUSIN MICHELLE!

6- HAPPY BITHDAY DAD!

Brandon was given the day off as there was an abundance of Deputies on the schedule. Therefore I too shortened my hours. After working from home until 1:30, we were off to run a few errands that needed to be complete before Baby gets here!

7- Cavs v. Atlanta! Another exciting victory!

8- HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESSICA!

9- Mom and Dad came up for a quick visit. It was a great day to shop the local greenhouses for seasonal flowers and plants. Brandon and I were then off to Dan & Jena's to celebrate Alexis' FIRST birthday! It's hard to believe how quickly a year can go by.


10- HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY ALEXIS! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TROY!!

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!!

28- I had yet another meeting at work regarding my maternity schedule and my plan to attempt balancing work and family after the baby arrives. We are getting closer. Just need to complete some paperwork and hopefully get this all squared away soon!

CONGRATULATIONS TO ERIC & KEIRA! They too have purchased their first home! Today they were to get the keys with a planned move this weekend. We are so happy for you!

30- My Group Sales Team went to dinner at Morton's Steakhouse in downtown Cleveland to celebrate a really special season! As a sales team were were successful in reaching a couple of lofty goals. It's great to work hard and to be rewarded for it too. With amazing food, great company and many laughs, we all left with a sore stomach. To my GES Team.. LOVE YOU ALL!

1- HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRYAN!
After experiencing 'contractions' for the better part of the day, I left the office around 4:30. Much of the evening was spent on the couch while relaxing with my feet elevated.

2- THANKS, ALISA for a WONDERFUL baby shower! Alisa graciously hosted a shower for me at her home that included a great lunch spread followed by desserts that were not only beautiful but also delicious! Thanks for all that you have done for Brandon and I throughout our pregnancy! A special thanks too to Sandy (Alisa's Mom) for helping.

3- My final baby shower! Thanks to Deb for coordinating a fun afternoon for Mom and I. It's always good to spend time with some of my Mom's best friends from college.

THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR FRIENDSHIP, LOVE AND SUPPORT AS WE PREPARE TO WELCOME OUR LITTLE ONE INTO THE WORLD! WE CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR YOUR GIFTS, ADVICE AND WISDOM AS WE BEGIN THIS EXCITING STAGE OF OUR LIVES... PARENTHOOD!
