We're Havin a BABY!





Okay, so here is the first look at baby Donnell. Inside the black circle there is a smaller circle-which would be the baby at 7 weeks. When Tyler and I saw this for the first time, we cried and before the nurse took the picture-I told our baby to smile big for the camera! (That's why it says "smile!")

Although, I am almost 16 weeks-I thought I would post this picture for everyone to see. Our next doctor's appointment is on Monday. This visit is just a blood work and OBGYN stuff visit. I don't think they will do a sonogram that day-but we might get lucky! We should be able to find out what we're having at the beginning of October, which will be extremely exciting! I am over my morning sickness battle-THANK GOD! I've just been tired but other than that, everything is going great! I haven't even gained a pound yet! I hope to keep it this way for a while! :) I want to say Thank You to everyone who has called to check up on me and ask how I'm doing... it's been good to hear your encouraging voices.

So, here is some other information on Tyler and I. Tyler is working and going to school full time. I am working part time and going to school full time, so we are both extremely busy and tired! It's been a little stressful having to adjust to the different schedule now, with both of us having to share the computer and read our textbooks-we hardly have time to eat together! Although, it seems tough now, it will be very rewarding in the end. I have this semester left of classes, then I'm taking off a semester and staying home with the baby-which I'm very excited about! After, the spring and summer, I will student teach in the fall and then I graduate!!!!!!! Tyler still has maybe three years left of school, but he is going to take it slow because of the baby! I'm just proud of him for going back to school to get his BA in Business. He's makes me a proud wife to call him my husband!

Max is doing great! He definitely knows that there is something in my belly. He lays his head on my tummy and raises his ears (like he hears something inside of me). He has also enjoyed sniffing all the fun baby stuff that comes home with us. He is still getting spoiled, which will probably last a lifetime! :)

Well, I better go! I just thought I would update everyone to what is going on in our busy but exciting life! We are all excited for this baby to get here, so we'll keep you updated..... I promise you Aunt Lora (and everyone else)!

We love you guys, Tyler, Elizabeth, Max and Baby Donnell

Uncle Jim and Aunt Lisa are so excited! We are so proud of you guys. Can't wait to see the newest Donnell! By the way, Elizabeth, the "tired" thing - it's permanent. :)

Yeah an update! No wonder I never see you guys nor get to visit with you! I knew Tyler was back in school but did not realize it was full time. Thanks for the baby update! Love you both, Aunt Lora
