New Car and New Belly Updates

Below is a picture of our new car... well new to us at least. It wasn't something we were expecting, but Brian's car went into the shop and the outcome was not good, so car hunting we went. God's hand was definitely present, we got a great deal and everything worked out well. Brina loves his new car and so do I.

6 months down.... only about 3 1/2 more to go

Easter and More

Hard to believe Easter is over, this year is just flying by. Less than 4 months until the baby is here... so we have started to get ready. Brian's Nana and Papa bought us a glider for the nursery, so Brian decided he should set it up and try it out.

Happy Easter.... me, Gary, and Brian

Baseball season has begun... Brian and I went to game #2 of the season last week when it was about 33 degrees outside. We won 9-3 but it was a cold night. Guess we will have to wait until the summer for the hot and sunny games.

A few weekends ago Jason, Hillary, Brian, and I headed to Maryville for the CAB 10 year reunion. Brian and Jason got to see lots of old friends and catch up on life. We had a great time.

Here is the belly update... 22 weeks and counting. I have finally been feeling our little boy kick and move. It is one of the coolest feelings ever. Hard to believe we are more than halfway there. We are currently still deciding on a name, we have a few we like just can't pick a favorite. Hopefully soon though.

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.
