July

28 weeks pregnant. Didn't know it, but I was toasting right about then. I was also unaware of the fact that my diet and eating habits were about to go through a drastic change.


Port Aransas trip for Ed's birthday.

27 weeks

June

23 weeks

21 weeks. In Brownwood for June birthdays.

20 weeks. We had just left the ultrasound office and found out that we were having a GIRL!! We were both in disbelief.

Belize Honey/Baby Moon

About 19 weeks here. I was so excited to finally be "really showing".

Since the sole purpose of this blog is for Kinley, I don't mind that for every milestone we have more pics of the belly than anything else. Here I am roughly 18 weeks pregnant and enjoying sailing around Belize with my new hubby.

Wedding Day

Our 1st dance as a married couple and me at 16 weeks.


In just 1 week, Mark & I pulled together a wedding here in Austin at Green Pastures. It was beautiful and we had a fantastic time. Wouldn't change a thing, looking back now.

Growing Belly from the VERY beginning :)

We are 17 weeks here and this is the night before our wedding day.

Here I am 10 weeks pregnant. We still had some pretty important matters to attend to though. In the midst of celebrating Kevin's birthday and our big suprise, we were smack in the middle of planning our wedding celebrations. This particular shot was taken during my Bridal Shower. We had started the Mexico wedding journey while in Akumal in January. 60 some odd guests, with flights and rooms paid for, when out of the blue something called Swine Flu. Needless to say, our beach wedding was cancelled.

In this picture we haven't found out yet that we're expecting. It Valentines day and I am almost 4 weeks exactly. This is the last night of spirits for Jen. We figured it all out 3 days later and the doctor confirmed pregnancy 1 day after that. :)

My baby about to become a father...

This pic has special meaning to me. Just a pretty picture of a rainbow, but the particular day...extra special. Miss Kinley was in the making and only she new it. :)

The other part of the story is that Mark & I were having a blast and really enjoying each other.

These 2, Laura & Ronnie are who I lay some of the responsibility on. They are great friends now, but back in January we were meeting them for the very 1st time. We hit it off, hung out a lot and I think...Laura, who was 6/8 (?) weeks pregnant at the time, put some pregnancy hormone fluff in our water.

Okay. To start from the very beginning... This is just a shot of Snowman's 40th Birthday dinner in Akumal Mexico, where all the fun started.

Catching up

First glances into Kinley's little world and how she's growing and getting ready for us.

Bits & Pieces

So...I'm going to give this a try. It may take some time, as my mind is nothing more than scattered at this point in our pregnancy, but I would love to share bits & pieces of us and our changing world with our family and friends. Please be patient and enjoy!


As most of you know, after a long debacle with our plans for a beach wedding in Mexico and the Swine Flu, we were married here in Austin on May 8th, 2009 at Green Pastures.


Since then a lot has changed! Including the slowly growing size of my belly and the little cupcake inside, named Kinley.
