What we've been up to in September....
We're EXPECTING...

Baby looked prefect on the ultrasound and had a nice strong heartbeat of 127bpm. So we relaxed a bit and just counted down the weeks until our move back home when I could meet with my OB up here in Logan.
A few days before we were set to drive back home I was starting to feeling pretty ill, so we decided that we should probably tell family but I was still feeling insecure about the viability of this pregnancy so I booked an ultrasound at a place we would pass on the way home. Everything looked great and baby had a nice strong heartbeat so we felt confident telling family. That worked out nicely because Mom & Dad Yates and my Mom were at our house for dinner that night. We broke the news by casually placing the ultrasound pictures in with some brochures of things we had done while visiting Arkansas.
A couple more weeks went by and I was finally able to get in to see my OB. First thing we did was an ultrasound to find out my official due date: MARCH 17th , 2012 (St. Patrick's Day) and make sure everything looked good. Baby had a nice strong heartbeat of 178bpm and was wiggling all around. We went over our game plan as far as meds go and nausea management and that was it.

Ethan's First Day of Kindergarten!!
My little man is getting so big... He started kindergarten on Tuesday. I think I was more nervous than him, worrying about if he would have fun and make friends. Well, I was worried for no reason at all as he had a blast. He was so excited about being able to play on the "BIG" playground. His teacher is very nice and I think she will be great at dealing with his sensitive days. Here is a picture of him outside his classroom, he was very excited that his teacher decorated with happy monsters (he loves happy monsters).
