What's the icing color....

Last week we had our 15 week appointment with Dr. Sellers. Cupcake's heartbeat was trucking along between 150-155. This time Dr. Sellers said we're having a girl (last time it was a boy). So here we are again at the 50/50 chance of either!

Casey's 31st birthday is Friday! We are hoping to reveal cupcake's icing color at his birthday party. Hopefully cupcake will cooperate when we go for our ultrasound. If not, I've determined cupcake must be a stubborn little boy! lol

Things are going well for the Kell's. Casey got a new job and he starts on Halloween. We are very excited about his new opportunity and the opportunities it will provide for our family.  He has been working diligently on the nursery so we can get the furniture this week. I will post pics when we get it all setup!

In the meantime....let the voting begin!!!!!!!!!!!!

it's all in a heartbeat......

Wow, it's been a crazy few weeks!

I've gotten to hear cupcake's little galloping heartbeat, go to trial on a capital murder case, and spend time with family at the ICU while we have patiently (well mostly patiently) awaiting our "DEBE" to recover from her surgery.  So, now that trial is over and I'm moving on to the next one, DEBE is still in ICU but responding to us (yay....and thanks for all the many prayers and sweet thoughts -- we wouldn't be here without you), I finally have time to update the blog. 

So that's the short version of what's going on in Kell Khaos! I've attached the video of cupcake's heartbeat -- Casey recorded it so we could play it for all who wanted to listen. I told the Dr it sounded like a gallop and he said "that means it's a boy....just kidding". Ha! So time will tell! We hope to know what icing color our little cupcake will have at the end of this month ...if all the stars align!

So, enjoy our heartbeat....we really do now beat as one!

Cupcake Kell....

Now that it has been announced on fb...it's officially official...lol!

We are expecting a future razorback, who is currently name cupcake, icing color to be determined! 

We found out we were expecting August 1st. It's been such a wild ride! I can't believe I am already 10 weeks!! Time is flying by. We are 1/4 of the way through this thing they call pregnancy! It's amazing to read what is growing and developing from day to day.

Everyone is thrilled for our new addition who is scheduled to arrive in April 2012.  Below is cupcake's first photo opp....just a wee little peanut at the time but at least doubled in size since then.  ( I have tried and tried to get the pic to rotate with no luck)  We appreciate all the well wishes and congratulations!

We look forward to sharing our journey as well as our cupcake memories with each of you along the way!!!

Hoarders no more....

Just in time for football season we have finally cleared the clutter. We are no longer the disgruntled owners of three couches and two tables along with various other odds and ends. Our living room doesn't look like we've setup for a frat party's football saturday (sigh....remembering those fun times).  We are, however, still the proud mama and papa of our three furkids, Tucker, Dude and Makenna. They survived the major cleanup and cleanout slightly confused about the locations of their beds but have managed to adjust. They are even sleeping in their kennels every night these days without a fuss. Thank goodness for small miracles!!!!

This past weekend I've cleaned out closets and downsized...sniff sniff. One girl really shouldn't be required to pack all of her faves into a tiny closet!!  She should at least get to keep two tiny closets...lol! But it will all work itself out...now, to just keep the shopping at bay....nah!!!!

This past weekend was the first weekend of college football....GO HOGS GO!!!  It was great to hang out with friends and cheer on the hogs...WPS!!  We are looking forward to continuously cheering them on throughout the coming months.

Also this weekend was the first glimpse of what FALL feels like. The high was 80 and it was sunny breezy and fabulous. In fact, it's supposed to be this way all week. Yay, finally a chance to wear boots and leggings...I feel like I've won the lottery!!!!  And, just in time for football season!

amateur hoarding...

at least that's what my house feels like right now. We have three dogs, three couches, two table, two tv stands, and various other clutter consuming our lives!!!  I just don't see how people become hoarders.  A real live hoarder would simply gawk at my collection and laugh, just as I would if I were them (if they were able to actually get out of the house and see someone else's cluttered world compared to theirs).

So, all old living room stuff is for sale and can't quite leave our abode fast enough. Luckily we have some prospects but there will be no light at the end of the tunnel til it's all hauled off and we actually have room to walk. At this point, I think the animals are even confused as to what's going on and exactly what order they should lay on each available piece of furniture. If you come to our house before it's gone, I promise we are not setting up for a fraternity style football watch party, we simply just haven't found the next owner for our goods. :)

in the beginning....

here we are....in the beginning of the blogging phenomenon (for us anyway).

Two recently/newly (whatever that even means .- less than 1 yr)  married 30 year olds trying to take life in stride with all it brings. I work full time as an attorney and my husband is trying to finish his degree in business.

We've created a blog b/c that's what 30-somethings do when they have news to share with the masses in large clumps as opposed to flashing every little detail via facebook or twitter. Neither of which seem like a great way to make any documentation of the ups and downs of our life together....this will be way more fun to read back on later and laugh. Ha!

So.....we're the kells....and we're taking on the blogging world one post at a time.
