Its a Girl!!!!!

Can't believe I haven't blogged since April. Well everyone! It's a GIRL! We are so excited. I guess we really would have been excited either way. But now we can actually picture her. Caitlin is now past the 20 week mark. Her morning sickness has subsided for now. Although when she starts to gag... look out. Baby Shower July 18th at the house. So excited Grandma Elaine and Sarah Schultheis will be flying in. God is Good!
Today is Andrew's 23rd birthday. He is home for the summer. I actually think it has been a little hard on everyone. After graduating from FSU with a degree in Biology - his future right now is up in the air. Praying hard for direction for him.

on their way

so excited tonight. Caitlin and Matthew are on their way to Fort Myers for the weekend. I can't wait to see them. Caitlin and I will go shopping .... for maternity clothes. It is going to be great.

A special mother in law

I have to say how blessed Caitlin is regarding Mother-in -laws. She says she has to pinch herself. Elaine Schultheis spent a selfless spring break with Caitlin and Matthew. Caitlin was feeling so sick and was really tired. This very special lady took very good care of her. Caitlin went through a major withdrawl when she left. I can't tell you how comforting it is to know that your daughter has a mom like this in her life, and then to end up being related..... oh thank you God. As grandmothers, we are so excited. It is nice to share this with Elaine (and Larry).

Well, Matthew sent us updated ultrasound pics but I have no idea how to upload them from a PDF file. Today, when I spoke with Caitlin, she is still experiencing morning sickness. It virtually lasts all day. Poor baby. I know this too shall pass but it is a bummer going through it. She and Matthew are traveling down to Fort Myers on Friday. She has a test that day and of course Matthew has class, so they'll leave when they are finished. Joel and I can't wait to see them. It feels like it has been forever. ( actually since Christmas)... but who's counting. I want to get up to Pensacola at some point. Real Estate has been very inconsistant... It's hurry up and wait... I have closings in May, June, and July. It's fun, but a lot of work keeping up with these contracts. Off to clean the house. Our housekeeper has been really sick and I'll need to pick up the slack for the next few weeks.... not too fun... but a girl's got to do what a girl's got to do.

Let's Guess.... Boy or Girl

Kate -girl
Joel-boy
Caitlin- girl
Matthew-boy
Grandma Feeney-girl
Andrew- girl
Jordan- girl
Barry- boy
Birgit-girl
Kristyna-girl

Today Caitlin had her second appointment. She texted... boy has this baby grown.. it's heart rate was 174. At this point I am thinking it's a girl. Joel thinks a boy. I honestly can't wait to find out. I can't believe I didn't know what I was having. It was a surprise. Especially Andrew because everyone thought for sure he was going to be a girl. Hopefully tonight they will send more ultra sound pics and I'll learn how to upload them.
