The Richards Family - A chronicle of our craziness

August 17, 2010
Life has been pretty crazy at the Richard's house over the last few weeks. As all of you know we found out we are pregnant! Unfortunately, I tend to find these things out WAY too far in advance. So far in advance in fact that I seem to baffle the doctors and ultrasound technicians. Thankfully I know my body better than they do, so I am able to explain to them that I am not as far along as they thought I was. So when they say they think I am 7 weeks pregnant, I can tell them that I think I am only 3 weeks pregnant, and so and so forth. Anyways, I appreciate you all going through this long process with me, and hopefully Thursday will be my last ultrasound for a while, and they will indeed be able to date this pregnancy properly.
With all that being said, and while I am sure that everything is going smoothly.I can't help but have a little doubt and fear that maybe things aren't progressing as they should. This is what I get for having time on my hands to think about stuff. As I said, Thursday I go for my next ultrasound and my trusty sonogram partner Jess will be there with me. Thomas is going to stay home and take some work calls while Madden takes his nap. While I am sure I would be fine going by myself, I would much rather have some sort of support system with me. That is where Jess comes into play. I am very thankful to have her in my life. So after I get the all clear Thursday, hopefully I will get more excited and start some baby shopping.
In Madden news, we had bought him an easel at Ikea recently, in hopes that we could get his artistic chops flowing. We used the Dry Erase part of the Easel for a while, and he seemed to pick up on it very quickly, we then discovered that we had to erase his beautiful artwork : ( So we quickly decided to buy him some roll paper and some washable markers to save these pieces of art. I am pretty impressed while watching him doodle, he seems to have a nice ebb and flow to his work, and he really looks like he knows what he is doing. It's times like these where I know I have a little smartypants on my hands, now if I could only get him to say more words, instead of the constant grunting. I guess that is the boy in him, and should cherish it while it lasts. It is hard to believe he is going to be 2 years old in 10 days! I am sure we will all never forget August 27, 2008. I know I never will! So here are a few pics from Madden's recent doodling adventures, just to show how much the little man has grown in 2 short years!

Jess's Bridal Shower/Bachelorette Party!
I have to admit, when Jess asked me to be her maid of honor at her wedding I was soooooo excited. I actually never thought I would ever be somebodies Made of Honor. The only thing that made me a little worried was throwing the Bridal Shower. I am NOT a party planner, and usually rely on others when it comes to planning anything! However, Jess means the world to me and I wanted to make sure that I threw her a nice party. Jess doesn't like to be the center of attention so it was actually a tough sell to get her even remotely excited about the idea of a Bridal Shower. After a few weeks of coaxing she finally came around, and with the help of her mama, and my fellow coworkers we pulled off what I like to think was a nice party. Here are some pictures from the happy day.
