Another Appointment
I had another appointment last Thursday. Not too eventful but I got to hear the heartbeat again so that was a definite plus. It took a tiny bit longer to find the baby this time because he/she kept moving around. So cute! It won’t be too much longer before I’ll start feeling our little “critter” (as the doctor so lovingly referred to the baby) and all that movement. But, he said the baby is growing and the heartbeat is good.
As far as I know I’m still sick. After this weekend I’m going to try it without my little miracle pills again and see if there has been any progress. Why this weekend? Well we’ve got a fair and a ballgame to go to!! We’re heading back to Missouri to see the fam and I certainly don’t want to be a party pooper. There are corn dogs, hot dogs, and nachos to be eaten! And Brian’s mom is making peach cobbler and my mom is making cucumbers in vinegar and fried zucchini. (Both per my request.) Yum!! I still may get sick but it won’t be because of the baby. I think I’ll take the chance! J
About
On Monday, May 26, 2008, we took a home pregnancy test and found out that we were great with child (before that we were just plain great). Who knew that peeing on a stick could bring such joy? We even took a picture of the stick but we’ll spare everyone that image. One week later an ultrasound confirmed that Katie did indeed have a little baby growing inside of her belly.
Well, nine months went by in a flash and our little girl is finally here. On Thursday, January 22, 2009, at 4:50 in the afternoon, Kharis Grace Parrish entered the world. She is absolutely perfect. We are so grateful to our Father in heaven who has blessed us by giving us the stewardship of this little girl. We invite everyone to check in from time to time and watch as Kharis grows and as Katie and I try to handle all of this. I am sure our attempt at being parents will be entertaining and sometimes just plain laughable. Your prayers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
