Okay, let's take care of some adminstrative things first... I've had to print my first retraction - in the sense that I referred to Baby Joshua as "Baby Jacob". Not sure where that came from, but apparently, I was not the only one who did it so I don't feel 100% guilty. Just like maybe 85% guilty.
Now, on to more fun stuff!! Since I've last blogged, there have been a LOT of changes in my life. First of all, Kara and I are engaged! YAY!!! We're currently going to do our nuptials with immediate family only on Feb 21st in San Antonio. We're planning on a much larger ceremony sometime in the future for all our friends to come enjoy. Of course, even though this is a small ceremony, there are plenty of things for us to take care of. For instance, we're less than a month from the date, and haven't determined where we'll be having the rehearsal dinner, or what flavor cake we want, or what our first dance song will be, or even if we're having a first dance. Still so much to be done!! The good part is that we've contacted our family and (with the exception of 80) they're all confirmed for the wedding date!
The next big change is that Kara and I are pregnant! It was unexpected, but definitely not unwanted. We've talked about having a child relatively quickly, but had no clue it would be THIS quick... Kara's currently 9 weeks, so we don't know if it's a boy or a girl, but we're referring to it as "gummy bear" - because that's pretty much what it looks like in the ultrasound. I think that's a nickname that could stick around for a boy or a girl.
The picture below is from the appointment... who knew that Kara didn't like going to the doctor, getting a flu shot, and getting poked and prodded like a piece of meat? Sounds like a blast to me!!
Now, for the ever-popular "before and after" picture. Obviously, the "after" will have to wait for a while, but here's what Kara looks like at 7 weeks. What a hottie!
