Exciting News!!

We have had a very eventful week. I got my thyroid levels checked and they are right on track. :) As if that wasn't good enough news, as we were preparing to celebrate our 6th wedding anniversary on the 14th , we were blessed with the best present ever. We found out that the Kindle family is growing by 2 feet. We are expecting another baby!!! Yea!! We are all very excited, especially Aubree. She has been asking for a baby for a while now and God decided that now is the time. It's amazing to me how time and time again God knows what we need and when we need it. I have been praying for a baby for a few months now and wanted it in my own time. Just at the time when I'm at peace with it not happening, God goes and makes it happen. What a blessing!! Aubree is already telling me all the things I need to be doing and don't need to do with a baby in my belly. She told me no more hot tubbing and as I was in the middle of the Insanity work out Kerry and I are commited to, she began scolding me to stop working out so hard. Lol! I am determined to keep doing this workout. I may not be able to have a complete "beach body" as the program guarantees and as I was anticipating before I found out I was pregnant. But I'm still hopeful to get my legs and arms toned up and do what I can. I am very early into the pregnancy, I found out at this same stage when I was pregnant with Aubree. Which makes for a very long pregnancy but I can just tell with my body and knew immediately what was happening. My estimated due date is Jan. 15th at this point. Wow!! I can't believe our family is about to consist of 4 people instead of 3 in just 9 months. I am already doodling names like crazy and cannot wait to see if its a girl or a boy. I feel exactly the same as I did with Aubree, so at this point I'm leaning towards it being a girl. We would love her to have a sister but are mainly just hoping for a healthy baby no matter what the sex is. Such exciting news!!! We enjoyed a romantic dinner at Villa Montez Saturday evening in honor of our anniversary. It was a great evening and although we tried not to allow the new baby to be the center of conversation, it did keep coming up A LOT. We are both so happy and nothing makes you feel more connected than to be expecting a baby with the one you love. After dinner we enjoyed one of our favorites from back in our early dating days, Marble Slab. I have an intense love for ice cream and nothing ranks higher on my list than sweet cream and cinnamon from Marble Slab. It was a great anniversary and I already have the most precious thing (besides Aubree) that Kerry could ever give me in my tummy. Plus I recently purchased a new brown Coach hand bag and wallet and to justify the expense(as if I needed to do that but its too late now) I said that could be my anniversary present. So I kinda jipped myself there but I must admit I don't need or want for anything. Another very exciting factor in our lives is that Kerry just finished his school and graduated top of his class with a 4.0 GPA. I'm so proud of him and excited for what lies ahead of him. He now has his previous Bachelors degree in Business and an Associate degree in Air Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration. So many possibilities and such a bright future ahead of him and I'm just thrilled for him and our growing family. Kerry and I recently agreed to co coach Aubree"s t-ball team after her coach had to take another team. It has been a very fun, however, very interesting experience for us. The teams first games are next Saturday so we will really know more about how we are doing then. The kiddos are so cute and really having fun and learning the fundamentals at this point. I guess that's the most important thing anyway. Kerry put together Aubree's playhouse, complete with a stove, sink, telephone, clock and working doorbell from Nona and Pa and Mema on Sunday while I enjoyed a nice lunch in Up Town with my girlfriends from high school. We met at Ashley's and she had prepared an amazing lunch for us. We spent hours gathered around the table laughing and catching up. I am so thankful for these amazing women who I have grown up with and remained very close to. Sunday evening I enjoyed Aubree's Parent's Day Out end of the year program at the church. The class sang for us and recited scriptures they had memorized. It was such a sweet program. I feel so blessed and am looking forward to enjoying every moment of this pregnancy and the warm summer months that are vastly approaching. Til next time....XOXO
