Really...really how many years

See how long it's been

Ok I just took a survey and realized that one I indeed was responsible for a blog outside of work. Where I was going to update family and friends on all the exciting (not really exciting) news that was going on with our life. But then life happened Mr A got here early and I was busy running around with him and then back to work and now we have number 2 Miss K. She came even earlier and after being in the NICU I could have used an outlet but didn't even think of this site. I guess it really is like the diary I had back in jr high that I wrote in every few years.

So now do I just shut this thing down? It does work with Google+ I guess I might take a little time to see how it all works together. I think I might be getting back into blogging for fun :)

Alexander Daniel Kestler has arrived!

He was born on July 25 (Saturday) at 3:51 pm via c-section after induction wasn't working as planned. He weighs in at 5 pounds 11 ounces and is 20 inches long - but he definately looks longer than that!

35 Wks - Heading for the Home Stretch

We had an Ultrasound today and everything looks good he is growing and moving and seems to be on track for everything maybe a bit of larger head and little above the average for weight but no Matt size baby :)

I of course had to share another picture and his arm is in the way but he kept moving it around but this one looks like he is smiling so I picked this one. And the other is sort of a side shot.

I will post a picture of me later since I haven't done that in awhile we have them they are just a little scary for me to see.

Our little guy

We had an Ultrasound last week and they did a quick 3D one to see if they could get a better picture and it was so crazy I mean he looks like a baby I can make out his little nose, ears and well his whole face. He kept hiding behind the umbilical cord but you can see his little face.

So I had to share he is Baby Boy Kestler.

Hospital Bag

Yep I bought a bag especially for the hospital...well sort of. It can be used at the Hospital and will work nicely as my "personal item" when flying haha take that airline companies.

I have been wanting a new canvas bag which this was and has the shoulder strap which I also wanted and I thought it should be bright so I don't lose it. Which throw that all together you get this crazy number. FUN!

I will also share a picture of my new purse once I get it. I have a Mother's Day coupon for one Coach purse (thank you Mike) and now I just need the store to open here.

The Mythical 3rd Trimester -Finally!

So I have finally made it to the 3rd trimester and here is a recent pic. August seems so far away until I start counting down in weeks then I get a little freaked out thinking about all the stuff I need to get done.

I have a doctors appt tomorrow so I will be hearing the heartbeat which I love and will never get tired of. Also something I am loving (although I am sure it will be painful soon) is all the movement I feel.

I feel like I am already getting to know this little guy's personality. For example I was trying to get Mike to see my stomach move since I was sure you would be able to see it from the outside without touching the belly. But every time Mike turned I would see him move (hello sneaky) anyway I said well ok now he just thinks he is funny. And BOOM he let out a huge kick and my whole stomach moved big time which Mike was a little nervous about. Mike was super surprised at how much the ol tummy moved. He is most active or I can feel it more when I am sitting so I think that means he doesn't like waistbands which I couldn't agree more.

In other news Stuart is coming to visit since he has a wedding down here so I may sneak a picture of him onto the Internet haha.

Sarah's wardrobe provided by Amy - thanks for the shirt it is seriously one my favorites :)
