Our Little Peanut

I was 5 weeks pregnant when I found out...it was June 17, 2006, a day before Father's Day.  I took 2 pregnancy tests, because I just couldn't believe it!  I immediately got in my car, drove to K-mart & got Chris his very 1st Father's Day card...that's how I told him(but I was exploding w/ excitement and told the cashier lady first...shhh, don't tell!:).  So when Chris got home, I gave him the card as I was just about to jump up & down!!...SILENCE...followed by, the classic response, "are you serious?"  How romantic.  Anyway, it took a day or 2 to sink in, but we were both overjoyed over our little peanut!

                                                Our Little Peanut!  Chris & I just knew that we were destined to have a boy...& had already picked out his name, Charles Robert Vandergrift and we were going to call him Charlie:)  We were so exicted & bets were being made whether it would be a boy or a girl.  So, it was finally time to find out!!  To our surprise...it was a GIRL?!?!  What?!  That change our whole world upside down!  Shocked but excited, Chris & I went out for lunch at Ruby Tuesday's & called all of our family members to tell them the news!  Then, we thought...what are we going to name her?  Oh boy!  There were soooo many names thrown at us, then Chris finally decided that HE was going to name her & give her my middle name(spelled different)...she would be called Hailey Lynn Vandergrift....I liked it!


So here's Hailey's 4-D ultrasound...:)  Precious!  She was a "kicker"...but kept me so warm through the winter months!

           My last baby shower...about 1-2weeks before she decided to enter this world!

Bye Bye Long Hair!

So, I usually wait until I'm sitting in the chair at the hair salon to decided exactly what I want to do with my hair.  I've been going to the same hair dresser for over 10years and she knows me well.  I mentioned that Hailey has been wanting me to cut my hair short for a while now...similar to when I cut it off when she was only 15months old.  She has held onto a picture of me with short hair...so.....last minute decisions, decisions.                                                    Bye Bye long hair!  Hello short hair!  Hailey was very surprised & happy when my sister brought her the the salon to see the after math!  So, she requested to go home and take pictures of us...and it wouldn't b...
