The Patrickisims

#1 Never expect things to be easy.

#2 Leaving Katelynn or Abigail alone invites disaster.

#3 Never give up, never surrender.

#4 Even though life is what you make of it,there is only so much you can do with finite resources.

#5 You are only as sick as you let yourself believe.

#6 Just because you can do something, does not mean you should agree to do it. (Jed's new work motto) :-)

It's Official


We had our ultrasound today and were able to take a peek at our little one. After checking out so many things we found out that we are having a very healthy little GIRL. Katie and Abbie have been saying that we are having a little sister since we told them we were pregnant, and of course they are right. This also marks our 20th week, meaning we have made it to the half way point in the pregnancy. Now I guess Jed will buckle down and help me with a name and we better start getting things ready. The ultrasound tech said that according to the numbers our due date is closer to February 3rd, but I think I will stick with the due date of January 31st.

Swimming Lessons





So after we got back from a week in Lake Powell then we had out swimming lessons. Abigail and I took a Mommy and Me class and Katelynn took her very first class. They learned to put their face in the water and blow bubbles. Practiced floating on their back, moving their arms and legs and tried to look under water (that didn't happen for my girls). They both did not like going off of the slide or jumping off of the diving board, both had to be coaxed/helped off.
