It's About That Time

Hello everyone! I figured after 3 months of nothing and feeling the "blogging pressure" from Julie Y. I had better post something. Yes, there are still pumpkins on my background page! My last post was when we found out we were pregnant. Since then I have endured a few hospital stays and one kidney stent surgery but I am hanging in there pretty well I think! I had my 20 week ultrasound about 2 weeks ago and the baby looks great so far. We already knew it was a boy, thanks to a good friend and a 16 week ultrasound, but he cooperated and showed us yet again that he was definately a boy! My actual due date is Sept. 2, 10 days before Bella's b-day, but we know I will not make it that far. Bella was a 35 weeker due to the same complications so sometime in August we will get to meet that sweet little boy.

We just found out that we are moving back to Killen into the same house that we used to live in so we are very excited! We are supposed to be moving sometime in May. Richard's dad is moving to Mississippi and getting married. Yeah for a house and more space :)

Baby Boy Bilstein still does not have a name but we are throwing a few ideas around. Right now I think we have it narrowed down to Cruz, pronounced like cruise ship, and Drake. We know the middle name will be Hollis, named after my Nanny. I am really fond of Cruz Hollis Bilstein. I think it is really pretty and unique! A couple of others that we really like are Greyson and Corbin. Maybe by the next post we will have decided on a name. I go back to the baby doctor in 2 weeks so I will try to post again after my appointment to keep you updated on Baby Boy Bilstein. That's all for now!!!

One of Life's Little Surprises

Well, Thursday started out as a normal day. I had an appointment with Dr. Conrad in Huntsville. I have been having a lot of pain, headaches, normal female stuff for me. Dr. Conrad comes through the door and says, "Miss Caroline do you have something you want to tell me?" So I very casually turn around and look at him, not meaning to glare if I am, and say, "Uh, no, do you have something you want to tell me?" Yep, turns out that week long headache was because my horomones are raging!!!! So that led into me actually having to see the evidence so they went and got the pregnancy test for me and showed it to me, then I said, "Are you sure this came from the cup of pee that had my name on it?" I was so shocked he offered to test me again to really prove it but I had the evidence right there in my shaky hands. So yeah, needless to say, we are extremely shocked. This is something we were definately not planning for at this moment in our lives but that is okay. Everything happens for a reason so we are very excited and happy. We will find out more next week but we are thinking about 7 weeks along, maybe 8, and I never suspected a thing! I will keep everyone posted. SURPRISE!!!!!!
