I have had a few people ask about this, so that is why I am posting this. Please do not in any take this as us asking for gifts! This is just to get the information out there to the people that are interested!

We do have a baby registry, and here is the link.

Or you could search Babies R' Us for Chris and Katie Kelly, and the location will be Connecticut still.

Just as an update though, if you plan on sending gifts, our last day in Connecticut will be July 2. After that, we will no longer be receiving mail here. If you want our new address, we have it, so feel free to ask. I'd post it on here, but I'm not sure I want everyone having access to my new address : )

Again, this is just for the people who have inquired, or are interested, please do not take this the wrong way!

C-Section date: June 23
Moving Truck arrives: July 2

It's a little stressful, but mostly good, and completely crazy. I cannot wait to be home!

So it's officially ours!

Chris had the opportunity to get the inspection done his last morning there, and that went incredibly smoothly. Our closing date is going to be on June 25. Crazy, and no we are not planning on being there for it : )

Here is a link to see pictures of it:

So we have a house, yeah! More updates and pictures coming soon!

So, I must admit that I have been a little distracted and have virtually forgotten about the fact that we are having a baby in about a little over a month. So for those who check this for our family updates, and have been wondering why I have failed to update on the pregnancy, I apologize. I literally forgot!

As of right now I am scheduled for a c-section June 23. Since I have a history of CPD (the baby's head being too large for my pelvis) they don't want me to go any further than that. To be honest, we really cannot afford to have the baby any later than that date anyways, so it kind of works out. If I go into labor before the scheduled c-section then they will let me try to have a VBAC. We're hoping that is the case, both for a sooner delivery date, and for ease in recovery. However if I stop progressing, or show any signs of fetal distress than on with a c-section it will be. Although I think having one of those needles put in your back is much easier when you are having contractions to distract you. All that to say, by June 23 we will have a new baby boy.

Hopefully that is a sufficient update for all on the pregnancy status!

Our house is on the market, and we are being run out of it several times a day. Just in case any of you are interested in seeing some of the updates and changes we have made since last year, here is a link with all updates that we have done:

So we are listing our house on the market this week! Yeah! Hopefully things will slow down a little after that. Chris leaves for ATL in a week and a half to get us a house. Madness.

In other news, my grandparents celebrated their 50th anniversary this weekend. It was kind of hard to not be there and celebrate with, and see all the family. My sister did a great job of giving me a sufficient play by play of the weekend action though.

Chris and I are incredibly blessed to have all 4 of our grandparents still with us, and even more fortunate to have such a legacy left by having all 4 of the couple having made it to the 50 year mark.

I think so many people have the naivete to think that it's just a generational thing to stay together that long. I don't care who you are, marriage takes work, and if it is (which in none of these is this the case) nothing more than determination and perseverance, having that for 50 years should be applauded!

All of that to say, I made a video for my grandparents for their anniversary party, and thought I would post the link here in case anyone wanted to view it:
