Family McT

We had some McTarnahan Family photos taken yesterday. They turned out really good, and we all had a great time. We went out to eat afterwards... thank goodness it was after the pictures, otherwise we might not have all fit into one shot!!

Happy Birthday Mom!

This past Sunday was my Mom's birthday and they came down to take us out to eat! What a deal! We ate at the Monument Cafe in Georgetown, it was a real fun, cute place, with good food too!

Happy Birthday Mom, You're the Best!!!

First Photo

Thursday we had out first sonogram. The baby was definitely awake during it, and squirmed and waved the whole time! The top picture has a dark spot towards the right with a white splotch in the middle; the splotch is the waving hand. Underneath that is a profile shot of the head, and the body is off to the left. The bottom picture has the waving hand again and a front view of the face, all that you can really see are the big eye sockets and other facial bones; it doesn't quite look like a baby face yet, but I'm certain that I can see dimples just like John's! =)

Thump Thump thump thump

We were able to hear the baby's (other wise known as "The Larva") heartbeat at my appointment today!! It took a little bit to pick it up, but we could hear it pretty clearly once she found it. Dr. Pagette told us it is between 174 and 178, which is pretty normal for this stage. Very exciting!

Make sure to take our poll on whether it is a boy or a girl!

Happy Anniversary to Us!

July 2nd was our 4th Wedding Anniversary! John got me a beautiful potted flower and made me a chocolate chip cookie cake!
The first four years have gone by pretty fast, I'd say. They have been great though! This anniversary is even more exciting for us since we are expecting our first baby, due in late January!! (yes, a real baby this time, not another fur baby) =)

Who Will Scream at Me Now?

So I come in to check my email just before heading off to bed, and check out CNN only to see the saddest headline I could possibly imagine... Billy Mays, OxiClean pitchman, found dead What?!?! How can this be? I heart Billy Mays. I record Pitchmen every week and love watching him & Sully go back and forth. I don't think tv will ever be the same again (John says it will be quieter from now on; I am not amused by that). Well, I guess I will try and get to sleep after this devastating news. Goodbye Billy, I will miss you.

Start Looking Into

Nursing Homes for me... I've turned 30!!

Ok, so maybe I'm not quite ready for a nursing home yet, but I am a year older (on June 13th). John made me a very fun cake for my birthday this year. Apparently he has had this idea for quite some time and finally got to execute it. Here are some pictures:
