Smile Holly..........

Thanks. I'm actually having a pretty easy pregnancy. On of my employees who spends a lot of time with me told me Friday that she feels that I should just stay pregnant all of the time because I seem to do it so well. Yeah right! That's not gunna happen. But, Gerry is already campaigning for another one as soon as we can because he wants to try for a boy, of course! I'm not sure yet. Maybe he'll change his mind after he has to get up a hundred times per night! HEHE

So, you and Chad just need to go for it. Well, you're really young though, right? You have lots of time.

Let me know if you guys want to come to the baby shower. We'd love to see you. It's been a long time. But, don't feel obligated.

Wink Jeanie.............

My "baby bump" is slowly graduating into a huge beach ball! You'll see this morning when you come over.

But, I am blessed. Gerry thinks I am BEAUTIFUL. I mean, he can't keep his hands off of me! Don't get me wrong......I'm thankful that he doesn't think I'm a big heffer, but good Lord! Back off buddy!

Cool December 10, 2007

Wow! What a whirlwind of a journey!

I was alone.....................I was obese.....................I was bitter........................

And suddenly....................................

I made a decision that would change my life forever!

My dream of becoming a MOM again, with the RIGHT man is coming true.

My weight loss was acceptable. I had to go through many hours of therapy. I have to say though..............................Well Worth It! And, even though it's hard to find a good therapist, we found the best one ever!

Our baby is due soon. We're busy getting ready for her though. Gerry has been fabulous! We are washing clothes, organizing, purging, etc.

On top of it all, Gerry is making sure that we are all decorated for Christmas. He picked up a beautiful tree and brought it home. We are going to decorate and be ready for Adam to come home from college.
Amanda just got accepted to a 4 year university. We are SOOOOOOOOOOOO Proud!

Our shower was BEAUTIFUL! Our guests were so wonderful and I hope they had all kinds of fun.

Thanks to Jeanie & Pam for being so wonderful! We love you!

And Kim & Mark (cute couple), Bridget, Tracie, etc. for showing up. I'm sorry we didn't have enough time to mingle with you all, we tried...........we really did.........but both of us feel guilty for not being able to plop ourselves down and hang out with you.

Anyway............life is good. The baby is due soon and she's going to be a BIG HEFFER for sure! She's rapidly gaining weight, even though I haven't gained but 7 lbs. We will post pics when she is born.

Love to all!

It was a great shower. Lot's of work but well worth it. Everyone seemed to be having a great time. I know that we did. I can't wait to see little Jordan I just know that she will be beautiful (like her Mom)!

I am so bummed that we missed your shower. I was very sick and I didn't even want to get near anyone. This past month has been very bad for me. I hope that the shower was a blast. Stacie and Gerry, you so deserve all the best. You both will have the cutest baby.
