Littlest C's heart rate was 160, my blood pressure was 118/68 and weight was 132 lbs. Dr is pleased with how things are sounding and looking. We have told most of our family,  friends, and work. But now it's time to share with everyone our news!

8 weeks

September 24
This afternoon we had our 8 week dr's appointment. Mr. C went with me. We got to see our littlest C on the ultrasound, who is looking wonderful!!!! Her heart rate was 170. My blood pressure was 122/74, and weight was 133 lbs. Due date set for May 2nd. We discussed c-section, which we will plan for. I do not want to be induced again, and will possibly only try a vaginal delivery if i go into labor on my own. Which i might not even do as well. So far i have been feeling good, got sick this morning, but so far today has been it. Just a few bad days with bad headaches. On the way home from the appointment, we called all of our immediate family and told them our exiciting news!

How Lil Miss C and I told Mr. C that she is going to be a big sister!!

Cowboys and Angels

Yesterday was my brother's wedding. It was a beautiful day for a wedding and i am so happy for my brother!

Mr. C was an usher, him & my brother before the wedding.

The happy couple just after cutting the cake. One of the few pictures i got of them on my camera. It's not as easy to snap pictures when your chasing a dancing almost 2 year old around. 

Lil Miss C was the flower girl and despite the fight to get her into the dress, one of the reasons why we don't have hardly any pictures of her with my sis-n-law or the wedding party. These are the few pictures we got of them together. 

I helped with some of the ideas for them to decorate the hall for them that morning and ran the show the morning decorating everything. They had a country theme that included mason jars, wood carvings, and low lighting with candles. 

The wedding party dance. Mr. C and Lil Miss C were dance partners. 

Mother-son dance. You can't tell from this picture, but they were two-stepping. 

The bouquet toss...CJ claims that is was Lil Miss C who caught it....likely excuse. 

Lil Miss C dancing the dollar dance with her Uncle M. 

Before the wedding, would be so much cuter with Uncle J if her eyes would be open.

A family snapshot before the wedding. 

Again i had to rely on someone else to take pictures on my camera, since i was waiting outside with Lil Miss C to send her down the aisle. 

Awaiting his bride walking down the aisle...i love this shot at weddings. 

Mr. & Mrs C!

The rode in my uncle's truck down to the cemetery and my Grandpa's Farm to take pictures.

My brother made the logs himself. 

It was a beautiful day and so much fun! Congrats to my brother and my sis-n-law! 

C Country Craze

Yesterday was our annual C Country Craze! The tractor all set and ready in the afternoon for the evening's festivities.

The bonfire waiting to be lit. 

Pumpkin carving our jack-o-lanterns. 

The kiddos enjoying the beautiful afternoon with wagon and 4-wheeler rides. 

Then the weather turned...and it was no longer the perfect evening for a hayride...yep that's right, it rained and rained and kept raining. We still had a crazy fun evening and took a short hayride in between rain showers. After several attempts at lighting the bonfire the boys gave up and we still have a huge bonfire to light. 

Pumpkin pickin

Yet another year that our pumpkin patch did not produce any good sized pumpkins, so this afternoon we headed to the pumpkin patch to get some. We took the hayride out to the field to pick our own.

While Mr. C was putting the pumpkins in the truck, Lil Miss enjoyed the hay maze until it was time to go.

After we left the pumpkin patch we went to our friend's S&S for a few hours. They just moved and were have a housewarming/bonfire.

C Family Renunion & Golf Outing

Yesterday was the C Family Renunion. I unfortunely did not make go with Mr. C & Lil Miss C because I was working. A few years ago M. C's dad started having a golf outing the morning after the renunion. I didn't think i was going to get to play this year for a few reasons: 1. It was my weekend to work. 2. Mr. C was going to golf, so i was just planning on staying home with Lil Miss C and 3. Typically when Mr. C golfs with his dad, it is just the guys. Much to my surprise, Mr. C called me on Thursday and said that his dad asked if i was going to golf on Sunday. I said I would love to, but we would have to find a sitter. Luckily it worked out the my mom could watch Lil Miss C for us and a co-worker had already taken my shift for the day, so i was all set to go golfing. It was a blast, although it had been nearly 2 years since i had golfed. It wasa lot of fun and golf is something i wish that i could play more often. Afterwards, I had to meet my aunt so that Lil Miss C could get fitted in her practice dress for my brothers wedding. My sis CJ rode with me and we had a nice visit. Lil Miss C wanted nothing to do with trying the dress on, but we did get her in it to see what adjustments needed to be made.
