George Strait

Riley bought us tickets to the George Strait concert in July. It is on his birthday weekend. I can not wait to go. Julianne Hough and Blake Shelton are coming with him.. I love Julianne.. she is so good. It will be a great concert!! I am praying for good weather!! I can not believe how much our tickets were. Good thing he bought, because i wouldn't have paid that much for the tickets.. Anyways.. we are excited to go, let us know if any of you are going.

1st Dr's appointment

Today i had my 1st Dr's appointment. I was suppose to go on May 8th, but we are going to Moab that weekend, for mothers day. So i called to cancel, and they could not get me in again until 5/19 (13 weeks).. i could not wait that long :). She said that they had an appt today at 11:30 so i took it... I guess i should have waited, because it was a "pointless" appointment. They didn't check for the heartbeat, because the Dr thinks i am a week behind what the "charts" say, and am 7.5 weeks instead of 8.5 weeks (according to the size of my uterus), and that he didnt want to try to find the heartbeat because, it would just worry me if they didnt find one (boy does he know me!). So he said that i would need to go back in 4 weeks for my next exam, and he will check the heartbeat then. He did say that because i am nauseated, and tired all the time, and my breasts are sore (:)) that he thinks those are great signs to a successful pregnancy, and thinks things are going great.

So, really no update, other then i am a week behind where we thought i was, and the new due date is LONGER away at 12/4 now. YUK!

Hopefully the next appointment is a little bit funner, and will tell us a little bit more :). It is scheudled for May 21st.

First, I just wanted to say THANKS to everyone that commented on our last post. That was quite alot of responses :). We are so excited, and Kaedynn and I are already counting down the days until our baby gets here.

Now, about Easter...
On Easter Sunday, we had a BBQ at my dads house and did an Easter hunt. We also did 2 pinata's, my step mom had a couple of them from her work, so we decided to fill them and let the kids break them open.

Here is everyone picking up the candy out of the little kid's pinata.

Here is Kaedynn swinging at the pinata; as you can see, she got it a little bit opened up, some of the candy was coming out.
This is everyone on the Easter Egg Hunt.
Here is Kaedynn running, to get the most treats in her basket. She is pretty excited :).
Here is all of the cousins, lined up ready to go hunting.. we had to fight to get them to stand there for a picture. As you can see, the older they get, the less happy they are for their picture to be taken.. not sure why that is.

We had a great Easter. I never got a picture of Kaedynn with all of her "goods" from the Easter bunny, but she got a basket full of treats, 3 movies (Bolt, Tom & Jerry, and Beethoven's Big Break) a few Easter books, some cards that teach her how to write/spell words, and 2 new Easter Dresses. She LOVES Dresses. She would wear them everyday if i would let her. Hopefully our cold weather goes away soon, so that she can.

Here is a picture of Kaedynn, Sydnee, and Mati. Aren't they so cute. This is all of the girl cousins (minus Alexa).


I hope everyone else's Easter was great!

News for the Allen's

Well, we are pregnant and very excited.

I am 6.5 weeks along, and I have my first Dr's appt scheduled for May 8th. I can not wait!! I did 2 at home tests, and then went into the Dr's office to have them do a test on me as well, and all 3 came back positive. I am already antsy to start decorating the room, and getting all of the baby stuff out. I dont think that we are going to find out what the sex of the baby is. I think Riley has convinced me to not find out, and let it be a surprise... We'll see what happens when it gets closer.

I forgot about all the downfalls to being pregnant, like being sick, and nautious all the time, and I am SO tired all the time, I feel like I could sleep my days away.

Well we are excited, and thought we would share the news!!
