Baby Gardner is a......

Brian and I went to the doctor yesterday for our 20-week ultra sound. Everything looks great, the baby is healthy and growing. I am gaining weight and right on track.

Oh yeah.... and the baby is a BOY!!! We are thrilled and can't wait. We went to dinner last night and did some shopping too. We covered all the major sports teams... well Brian wasn't excited for the Ohio State bib, but I insisted.

Jacki's Bridal Shower

Jacki's bridal shower was great... just one look at the dessert table and it still makes me hungry.

Weekend in Ohio...

This past weekend, I flew to Ohio to visit with family and friends. It was a busy trip, but lots of fun. My first stop was my little sister Jacki's new house. Her and Patrick bought a house in Mayfield and are fixing it up.

While in Ohio, I also got to go to dinner with Jill... no pictures though, but we had a great time at Bravo. I also got to meet the newest addition to the Jenkins Family. Baby Kellen Patrick

Me, Kellen, Missy, and Jen

Cristina (my old college roomie) and her husband Andy met me for some shopping and smoothies one afternoon. Here we are in Babies R Us... she is due the day before me

And finally... Nancy and Kevin flew to Ohio to watch Timmy's college hockey National Tournament. My dad and I went to the semi-finals game. They won and the next day, the beat Illinois in the Championship Game.

18 Weeks

Hard to believe I am almost five months... two more weeks until we find out the sex. My belly is definitely starting to show... here is the recent belly shot.

Maryville Trivia Night

Last weekend we went to the Maryville Young Alumni Trivia Night, with Jason, Hillary, Phil, and Jill. Our table was the Village Idiots and out of 31 tables we took 31st place. We are quite proud of our accomplishments. Hey, we still had fun.

Cookies, Babies, and The Twins

This post is a little random... Last weekend our good friends Joel and Jenny gave birth to their first child, Everett James. He is so cute and we are both very happy for them.

Me and Everett (he is such a cute baby)

Well it is girl-scout cookie time and I just had to get a picture of this. Brian is writing his name on his half of the girl-scout cookies so that I won't eat any of them. He was worried about his cookies and me eating all of them... doesn't he trust his wife ;)

A few weeks ago Jason and Hillary had the twins baptized and here are some cute pictures of the boys. Hard to believe that they are almost 10 months old.

Aiden was sleeping too... at least they were quiet

Hockey Playoffs

I am a little behind on the blogging... back in early February, Brian's hockey team headed to Chicago for playoffs. They got second place, but in reality it means nothing for the National Tournament. They play this weekend and if they win it is off to Regionals in about two weeks and then Nationals in North Carolina. Good Luck Affton.
