Adventures in Pregnancy!!!

Ok, so I feel like I am completely losing it at moments. I had always heard from friends who have been pregnant before me that you can become very forgetful during pregnancy and boy am I one to vouch for that now!! I really hope that this craziness is related to pregnancy otherwise I am in trouble!!! Zack can tell you many a stories of what I have done (or forgotten to do) over the past few weeks.
For example, a couple of weeks ago on a Sunday evening I was in Columbia and he was home in Camden, I called to let him know I was headed home and asked if he would like me to pick something up for dinner on the way (since the cupboards were bare and there are very limited choices in Camden on a Sunday night) he said "sure, I am really in the mood for BBQ" (I had put that thought in his head earlier in the day when I thought my mom was going to bring us BBQ home from the mountains but wasn't able to) So, I said great I will stop at Maurices on Clemson Road and pick something up. Well it wasn't until I was sitting at the main light in downtown Camden that I realized I had completely forgotten dinner. You should have seen his face when I got home with no BBQ...so sad. I am sorry babe, I promise I will make it up to you!!!
My most recent incident was yesterday when I returned a loaner car and forgot the bag of Dry Cleaning (which I was supposed to drop off in Camden) and some other hanging clothes in the car. Didn't realize I had done this until this morning....HELLO!!!
The sad thing about this is that from what I have heard, once the baby gets here it doesn't get much better!!! Craziness.
On another note, I will not forget to Congratulate our dear friends Chuck & Elizabeth Webb, they found out yesterday that #2 is a BOY!! Charles Joseph Webb, Jr. "Charlie" will be joining his big sister in June!! We love y'all and can not wait to meet little Charlie. (And his name is strictly Charlie, not CJ or Charlie Joe!!! elizabeth asked that I make this plug!!)
Until next time...

Hello There

Well we're almost twenty weeks along (almost halfway) and I thought I would give this blog thing a whirl. I have so enjoyed keeping up with my friends and their "new additions" through their blogs that I thought it would be great to go ahead and start one of my own so that when Baby Atkinson arrives I will know what I am doing and can post updates easily. I am probably going to need some assistance from the Blogmaster and my friend Caroline!!!

Just to catch up...
Zack and I are expecting our first baby July 13, 2008 and we are just thrilled and cannot wait for he or she to arrive. We go for our 20 week ultrasound next week and we are so excited!! But we are going to let the sex our little bundle of joy be a surprise. So many people are shocked when I tell them that we are going to wait and see because I am such a planner but there are so few surprises left in life and we are going to take this opportunity. Not sure if I will be able to do it again with future babies but this one is going to be a big surprise.

Baby Atkinson will be the first grandchild on both sides and the first great-grandchild for my mom's parents so as you can possibly imagine there is a lot of excitement buzzing around our households!! I look forward to keeping everyone updated as the next 20 weeks progress and beyond!!

Until next time...
