Hurricane Irene

So as you all know hurricane Irene decided to stop by NC and dump her pit or rage all over the east coast ... well I'll tell you a little about our Saturday with Irene

electricity came and went ... I had electricity most the day but I was one of the lucky ones some went without for 24 to 48 hrs and some still won't have electricity till Friday I feel so bad for them !!!
Also our fence lost 3 panels by the end of the storm ..

I didn't have a home phone that worked or a cell phone the towers went down and Chris had to work so he was a Lil nervous not being able to get a hold of me so our Good friend Kerri Ann blum came over to check on me in the middle of all the craziness so if that's not a friend I don't know what is !!!

well after she figured out I was fine watching movies on the laptop and falling asleep ... we decided to go pick up her dogs and came back to my place since I had electricity and she didn't ...

on our trip threw the chaos we saw one electrical pool down with transformers attached but was not active thank god ! and trees were down like straight from the roots down .. some people were unlucky and trees feel on there homes

the base had a tree land on there main entrance and one blocking the 2nd gate entrance so the base only had one gate open for incoming and out going traffic ....

It was defiantly an experience

But were all safe out here and grateful !!!

I can't wait to Go to the DR'S on the 13th !! and we have 17 more weeks till our Lil man is here !

Over the weekend

Friday: was a busy day we had a busy and hard day on Friday. Christopher took our poor baby diamond to the vet to get her year shots... poor puppy did not like needles she cried and tried to get away but Christopher being the good dad he is calmed her down and she just layer there and cried a Little. Then Christopher's mom came in to town we went paid the man the rest of the money for our new/used riding lawn mower. Went dinner then Wal mart I was so sore after all that I came right home and crashed out.


Saturday: We all got up hangout for a Little while and decided we wanted to head to target to get some more of that new laundry stuff that makes your clothes smell extra good ! Wow that was an interesting trip . We also went to cracker barrel yum! 
Christopher and I also made crochet beanies it was so funny figuring out cool little tricks.


Sunday : Today has been a vary interesting day ... a very lazy day but very interesting .. i finished my beanie and made another one with ears . I also went to see Mrs. Kerri .. the baby hasn't moved much this weekend ... I'm wondering what his deal is hopefully it will change this week.




These are some of the beanies we made !

Things I didnt expect..

When you first find out your going to have a mini version of you and your spouse you don't think about the cost of things the way your body changes and how fast your life changes completely.

First thing I didn't expect is how fast I could go from scared and shocked to kind of excited back to scared and shocked.

Second thing I didn't expect to find out everyone else around me is having a kid as well seriously its like a fashion craze or something.

Third thing I didn't expect how much weight you gain threw out the whole pregnancy. Seriously  if a man doesn't love you after everything you go threw carrying your child then he is just not the man for you !

Fourth thing I didn't expect my husband to find me so attractive. Especially since I feel so big and unattractive.

Last but not least. I didnt expect random people to talk to rub or talk about pregnancy and my tummy ... personally I Believe its not ok to talk about weight or how big a shes grown.
I believe its NOT OK to touch a pregnate womens stomach with out asking permission.
I also believe its nice yes to talk about your own pregnancy and give me ideas of what you went threw but I am a different person the things I'm going threw are different from what you went threw because I'M going through them.

In the end There is alot more things I didnt expect. But I like the unexpected and can't wait to find out what our lil man is going to look like and the personallity hes going to have.

NAMES for the baby

We are unsure of what we want to name our lil peanut ! but heres some names we really like

Royce
Leo
Xander 

Chris loves Xander 
and
I love Leo 
 
So what do you think ?


To Sum things up.

Chris is a SF officer in the USAF, Gamer and Father to be. Katlyn is a house keeper, a cook, counselor,  a mother to two fur babies, and a soon to be mother to a little boy !

our story began about 2 years ago when I saw him for the first time walking into the bank I was working at; all good looking and hot.
I gave him my number we spent two weeks together and then it was back to the desert for him... well I may not have known him very well but I waited. 7 mo later he was home still as amazing as the first time !

in April of 2010 we started our journey to North Carolina .... bought a home have two amazing dogs that protect us against anything and anyone.

Chris proposed in September 2010 and we were married is December 2010 by court house. we still plan on having a ceremony just not until 2012

in April 2011 chris and I found out we were pregnant it was very surprising and unplanned but the best things happened when your not planning them.

in July at 18 weeks we found out we were having a lil boy and man he was all about showing his junk to us he's all ready proud of who he is and I love it.

Our expected due date is 29 December 2011!

SO THE QUESTION IS ARE YOU READY FOR A BIG CHANGE !
