Kara's Growing Belly

Thought you might be interested in seeing my new belly this month. We're hoping baby Kiefer might make a huge debut while we're in Brazil. Huge as in popping out, not coming out. :-)

Valentine's with the Preiditsch's

We had a really nice Valentine's with our good friends and hopefully some day neighbors...Rob, Merry, Cole and Georgia Preiditsch. Rob lost the bet he and Russ had between Clemson and S.C., so he cooked an amazing 8 course dinner paired with wine (and non-alcoholic pairings for Kara). We started our progressive dinner at 4:30 out by the Grange trampoline and it ended at 12:30 in our living room by a cozy fire. Cole even stayed awake for the final course! We love to spend time with Rob, Merry and the kids. Thanks Rob and Merry for a delicious Valentine's dinner- you've definitely raised the bar and Russ is starting his research to find the perfect meal to prepare for y'all. We've posted the menu with pictures, so try not to drool. Happy Valentine's!!!

Kara's Growing Belly

Kara is excited about her growing belly. She's hoping in month 5 she'll actually be able to feel the baby move. Her wonderful friends are letting her borrow maternity clothes, although she's thankful that she can still fit in her work clothes for now.

Bama Baby

Kara was soooooo excited to get these onesies from Jennifer- it looks like Russ is going to be outnumbered by Bama fans once the baby arrives.

We're Pregnant!!!

Due 07.09.09, Baby Kiefer is healthy and has grown to a height of 3.8cm. We just had an ultrasound and the baby was bouncing around, waving it's arms, and kicking it's legs- Russ thinks he will be a soccer player, and Kara thinks she will be a cheerleader. Kara is feeling great and can't wait for her belly to start expanding. We'll keep you posted with pictures and updates.

Frosty

We eventually made it to Michigan to see Russ' family for Christmas after a full day of travel. We arrived in a winter wonderland- about 3 feet of snow on the ground and blizzard conditions outside. We've posted some photos for you to see.
