six months later.....

i know after my last post, i said i would try to get better. the truth of the matter is that i've just been tired--being pregnant plus working 8 hours a day plus coming home to do housework/get supper ready/all that wife stuff has had me absolutely exhausted! not to mention, i work on a computer all day long so my desire to come home and get on the computer is absent. anywho, a lot has happened since my last post... good and bad.

bad news first.... our precious puppy, rocky, passed away on a wednesday (may 12th); that saturday, julius' grandmother passed away; and that sunday was the last day we saw our first "child"/kitty cat, sadie. it was a really bad few days, which took a good bit of time to attempt to get over. some days, i'm not over any of it. (you know how hormonal pregnant women can be!)  we did get another long-haired, mini dachshund.... a male; coloring is called dapple.  his name is sammy...

a few days after we got him

sammy and ellie are best friends!

now for the good news.... we found out that our sweet baby is, in fact, a girl :)  her name is lucy caroline roberson. (originally, lucy was the only girl name that we both loved and knew it had to be our daughter's name. we weren't even realizing that it is a family name... on julius' side. and my middle name is caroline. so lucy's name is from both sides!)  due date is october 13th but after my last dr's appt, which was yesterday, they have decided to induce labor on the 12th--that's tuesday!!! ONLY A FEW DAYS AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! we are so excited and anxious to meet her.  i just keep imagining what she'll look like! we had a 4d ultrasound done, which was amazing, but actually seeing her in person is going to be so wonderful. we have to be at the hospital by 4am on tuesday, so they can start the medicine at 5.... and hopefully we'll have a healthy baby girl not too long after (although i know that when labor is induced, it tends to take longer. we're praying we'll be the exception!)  here's a pic (our favorite :) from the 4d ultrasound...

first smile :)

let's see.... what else is there to tell....

i can't think of anything at the moment. i'll try to take some pictures of lucy's room (and of course of her) and post them. but i'm definitely not promising a date on that! i know how crazy our lives will be for a bit :)
