Kathryn Layne Chism

What a sweet angel she is......

Kathryn Layne Chism was born on February 18, 2008. She weighed 8 lbs. and 3 oz. and was 21 inches long. I really don't understand how she was that big b/c Lori Beth hardly looked pregnant!!! I went and spent the day with them on Saturday and she was absolutely beautiful. She sticks her tongue out constantly. Kathy said she gets that from the Chisms!

Her complexion is so pretty....

John Clayton is so excited about his little sister. He always wants to hold her....

Congrats Lori and Mallory!!! I know you are so proud...

Sassy holding Kathryn

We're Having a Baby!!!!

Every good and perfect gift is from above. James 1:17

Yes, It's True!!! Scott and I are expecting a little one. We are so excited.

It was confirmed yesterday at the doctors office and I am about 7 weeks pregnant. My approximate due date is around October 4. Scott and I weren't really expecting it to happen so fast (like in the first month of trying) ....but the Lord blessed us with this little gift and we are absolutely beside ourselves and a little scared too! I had to go a few weeks knowing that I was preggo not telling family or friends and it just about killed me! However, since Valentine's Day was approaching and we wanted to get further along in the pregnancy before announcing it....I thought it would be a neat idea of telling our parents on Valentines Day...and so we did.

Pregnancy so far has been the greatest thing ever. I am just in awe of how amazing it all is. And then when I see all of my family and friends little ones.....I really realize just how much fun and exciting this is all going to be.

I have been blessed as far as sickness goes.....I have not felt bad at all. I can tell that by about 9'oclock every night that i am exhausted from the day and i just want sleep.....Scott makes fun of me for wanting to go to bed so early, but I have tried to explain to him that we better enjoy our sleep now while we can!!

We are a little unsure about what Molly (our 3 year old cocker spaniel) is going to do though.....as most of you know she is a little drama queen and has been the queen of the house ever since Scott and I married (or ever since i brought her home rather). I had a hard enough time getting her to cope with another human being sleeping in the bed with us.....she was a little rebellious at first, however, she has accepted that Scott is just gonna be there and she is gonna have to live with it. I have a feeling that now that we are expecting a little one.....a deep depression is in the near future for her!!!!!!!!!!!

Do they make anti-depressants for dogs?!?! he he!

Scott and I are so grateful to be this blessed in our lives. Thank you for the prayers when we were trying to conceive (they worked!!!)...please continue to pray for us as we go through the next 7 months....it will be here before we know it!!!!

Love,

Lyndi, Scott,Molly and Baby Rives :)
