  1. Want a Chance to Win??

    June 29, 2009 by Monica Sepper

    Win what you ask…..not sure yet, but it will be something cool.

    As you all know, Peanut’s due date is fast approaching. We are down to the final 9 weeks and based on Monica’s first pregnancy, could be sooner.  Our poll has been up for a little while now and this is just a reminder that it will close on the 1st of August.  So you know have about 1 month to get your 2 cents in or forever hold your piece.

    For those of you wanting to know all the facts before you make that every educated guess here they are:

    • Monica craved salty items in the 1st trimester like deviled eggs and chips & salsa: 1st trimester with KL was sweets like anything chocolate
    • No morning sickness this time around or with KL
    • Monica seems to be carrying more out in front with Peanut and she carried more around with KL
    • Chinese Calendar states this is a girl: Chinese Calendar stated that KL was a boy
    • Both pregnancies have been fairly smooth sailing
    • Heartbeat with Peanut has run about 135-155 and Heartbeat with KL ran about 155-170
    • Peanut measures about 1-2 weeks ahead and KL measured right on for averages

    Hope you have fun guessing and if you need any more information to make your super intelligent guess feel free to leave a comment.

    How you win: Just so you know it is fair and we did not rig the game (Tom came up with the system)

    It will be based on a point system after the gender is correctly guessed and the person with the lowest score will win

    • Weight: you will get 5 points for each pound you are off and 1 point for each ounce you are off
    • Length: you will get 1 point for each inch you are off
    • Day: you will get 1 point for each day you are off
    • Time: will only be used if needed for a tie breaker, you will get 1 point for each hour you are off

    Enjoy!

    PS – If you already guessed and want to change anything, email Tom.


  2. The Big 3-0

    June 26, 2009 by Monica Sepper

    What a busy week.  Monday we hit the big 30 week mark.  That puts us at about 75% of the way through the pregnancy and only and short 10 weeks left, give or take I guess.  We had another appointment this week and all went well.  Our Doctor likes to rotate her patients through all the Doctors in the office.  There are 3 other Doctors in the office and we got to meet 1 of them at this appointment.  She was really nice and very friendly.  It is nice to know that one of these 4 doctors will deliver Peanut when he/she comes.  We will get to meet another 1 of the doctors at our next appointment in 2 weeks.  We also have a sonogram scheduled that same week.  I can’t wait to see Peanut again in a couple of weeks.

    Yesterdays appointment went great.  The Doctor was pleased with Peanut’s growth and heartbeat. All my vitals checked out and we are good to go until next time. 

    Here are some pictures:

    Katie Lynn with us at our appointment, once again, she was glad the visit was not for her

    Friday:

    We went to story time again this week.  Katie Lynn really likes the music at story time.  After story time we went to check out the water fountain out front.  She loves the water.  She will point and say “wa-wa”

  3. Father’s Day 2009

    June 21, 2009 by Tom Sepper

    It’s hard to believe that it is Father’s Day again! Seems just like yesterday we were celebrating my first Father’s Day last year.

    We started the day off right — celebrating and praising our Father up above. Katie Lynn enjoyed her “Sunday school” class.. and didn’t even cry when we dropped her off this time. Today was the first time I “handed her over”, and we think she’s simply used to me doing that since I’m the one dropping her off at daycare during the school year.

    After church, we headed out to eat for lunch.. my choice of course! I decided on BJ’s.

    After lunch, we head to the store for our weekly grocery shopping and then headed home. Once Katie Lynn woke up from her nap, Katie Lynn and Monica hand me my gifts. They got me a pair of Texas Tech Crocs and a compact cordless screwdriver. Perfect gifts!

    At the store earlier, Katie Lynn got some “baby bottles” for her dolls. She’s in a “motherly” mood lately, and it’s so cute.

    We finished off the day at the pool. Katie Lynn loves being in the water, and especially “jumping” into the water.. with help from us of course. ;)

    Such a great Father’s Day made possible by my gorgeous wife and beautiful daughter!
