This baby is in love with holidays... on Father's Day, I believe I felt the baby kick for the first time. It was a strange feeling, but very exciting at the same time.
We will find out if it will be a girl or boy on July 6th - which also is a holiday (my dad's birthday)! To answer everyone's questions... yes we will be finding out the sex and I will posted it on here as soon as we get home from the doctor, as well as pictures.
Thanks for all of your support and love!

The Bump is getting bigger... 15 weeks...
I finally had to make the big change... from regular clothes to preggo outfits... this was a little difficult to adjust too. Luck for me, I have a wonderful mom, who although couldn't go with me shopping, sent me some extra help for the new outfits. Whitney (a good friend of mine), went with me to help me pick out the new look. We had a wonderful time checking out all of the newest baby looks as well. It was prob a good idea that we don't know what we are having yet, otherwise I would have spent my budget for clothes on the baby's outfits instead of on my new work clothes. I must say for those who wait to find out what they are having, must have a very difficult time trying to find anything that is not boy or girl outfits.
Dipped Cones, Exhaustion & Cutting the Grass
Org. Post Date 6/2/09
I always thought I had some understanding of what it meant to be tired, but until now I had no idea. As the morning sickness, or as I like to call it, lunch or night sickness has slowly dwindled, the pure exhaustion has increased. Some days I can’t keep my eyes open to make it through the day. As my career has started to take off, that leaves little time for sleep, much less play. The desire to eat a “dipped” cone from Dairy Queen keeps me up at night, although I have not had one of those in at least 15 years. Needless to say, having a craving that is a good hour plus a way to get, has not been fulfilled... or at least not yet (the Dairy Queen 15 minutes from the house closed down and the closest one is on the other side of Pensacola, FL). Besides wanting a chocolate covered treat, the next best thing is sleep. I have also noticed that no longer can I stand to see certain items out of order. If you know me well, then it’s clear that I’m a little OCD when it comes to work, but at home, well that’s another story. Lately I have had the urge, as I like to call it, to pick up or make things look nice. I really started to notice this, this past weekend. I went outside to water my new hanging flowers and realized I could not get to the water hose, because our grass was in need of a trim. Well… again for those of you, who truly know me, I’m not one for yard work. Normally I would have just gone around the house and gotten water from the other side and not thought about the grass, well this time was different. I decided right then, that I need to cut the grass… and by cut the grass I mean the acre plus of grass. You guessed right, I have never done that task before… but lucky for me, Chase was more than willing to show me how to use the riding lawn mower (because I had only used a push one a hand full of times, I know sad) – and I must say… it was a blast! Me saying yard work was a blast – I know crazy. Dishes and laundry not even close, but for Chase’s hopes and dreams, I’m sure he wishes those things would seem like fun any day now.
As the weekend went by, so did an event at work, and Sunday was full of more organizing (well finishing the yard work and me deciding to re-organize part of my bedroom). One thing I have come to realize through this experience is it is not the best idea to go through the past (i.e. boxes, old memories) when you have out of control hormones and emotions you can’t seem to control. Now, I seem to look back and question things…
I go back to the doctor in only a few short days and although the blood work and the long wait at the office seems endless, I can’t wait. As each day goes by, the anticipation builds for our bundle of joy to arrive. Now if only I had some pants that would fit, life would be grand – until then I will stick with the B Band – because being between normal clothes and maternity is something no one ever really explained would happen.
More updates and picture to come… until then keep us in your thoughts and prayers!

The 1st trimester is almost over! May 18, 2009
Org. Post Date: May 18, 2009
As we grow closer to our due date, so does the anticipation. Luckily for me, the nausea has gotten better (I have been able to hold food down for 7 days in a row now) as we get closer to the second trimester, while the sciatic nerve has been acting up more. The doctor wants me to go see my orthopedist in the next few weeks to check out the knees and the nerve problem. Chase is as excited as a proud dad can be - he is following the rules our pastor suggested by rubbing and talk to the tummy daily. Cooper even knows something is different... he has always been a mama's boy - but now he is careful to follow me around more than normal, but won't cuddle anymore. Luckily for me, both times I have had the hideous sciatic nerve problem Cooper has been right there and gone and gotten Chase (I must say I have a smart puppy). These days I am truly learning the meaning behind "being tired." I never thought I would feel so drained in my whole life... with the new job keeping me very busy and traveling a good amount, its hard to function when I have any down time... sleep has become my new best friend - I never seem to be able to get enough. I'm looking forward to the day when everyone says you will get more energy.
We have started to begin to think about names... so far we are not set on anything yet - and yep you guessed it right we have only come up with boy names, as the Webb gene is a strong one - although Connie, my step-mother-in-law as well as my Aunt Kendra believe I am going to have a girl. Either way - as long as we have a healthy happy baby we are going to be excited (but yes, we are going to find out what the sex is).
More updates to come, as we get closer. The next doctor's appointment is the first week in June. So check back soon for more updates!

Its true we are due! May 5, 2009
Org. Post Date May 5, 2005So yes, you guessed it right - Chase and I are expecting a bundle of joy due December 5, 2009. So far this baby loves holidays... I started getting sick on Easter Sunday, our first doctor's appointment was Cinco de Mayo (also Whitney's birthday) and the Doctor believes she will have to induce on November 28 (those of you from Alabama, know that is a state holiday, called Iron Bowl). We had our first official doctor's appointment today and everything checked out ok! Although we are not yet 3 months along (9 weeks and 3 days), I couldn't hold it in any longer and part of the reason why I haven't talked on the phone to anyone (because when I do - I just give it away)... I was going to wait till this weekend when I came home to SC to tell everyone (but I couldn't wait - plus I'm flying home as a surprise and didn't want to give it away that I would be in SC ) plus a few of you never answer your phones... so email seemed the best way to tell everyone at once. We found out on April 14th, but wanted to wait until we saw the doctor before we told everyone (although we did tell our parents 2+ weeks ago). We are only telling family and very close friends until we hit the 12 week mark. Although there will be many big changes happening this coming summer and fall, we are looking forward to the unexpected bundle of joy we like to call Butter Bean!
Welcome to the Webb family website! Since we live so far from many of our loved ones, we thought this would be an easy way to keep everyone updated on the latest (baby) news! Chase, Kristin and Cooper are all very excited about our soon to be buddle of joy (which we call butter bean). Butter Bean due date is set for Dec. 5th, but we may need to go in early (which is set for Nov. 28)! Keep checking back for more details, pictures and blogs over the next several months!
Love the Webb Family
