Hello world!


So...this is my first time ever blogging, but I thought this was a pretty darn good time to start, right?

Matt and I (well, really just me and my growing belly) are 16 weeks pregnant! It has been such an exciting, emotional, fun, tearful, happy, stressful 16 weeks, and I am SO happy to share with you that we are officially through our 1st trimester with a strong heartbeat of 155 beats per minute! Yeah! We're due July 19th.

Here's a picture of me...I'm totally getting thicker! Super cool thing - this morning, I woke up, and laying on my back, I was feeling my hard little bulge of a baby bump...and it had moved up during the night to the point that it was just below my belly button!!! Super cool! I've been up for awhile now, and gravity has pulled he/she back down, but it's so neat discovering new things about my body and the little body growing inside of me! How awesome God is for the way he made everything work together just right!

We have another Dr's appt. tomorrow (unless it gets snowed out AGAIN) to hear the heartbeat again and ask some questions. Can't wait!

Well, if you'd like to "follow" my blog, you can by clicking on "follow" over on the right hand side. If not, I totally understand...my own life is much cooler to me (and probably my mom) than to anyone else, so no pressure =0)

Just wanted to create this site as a way to keep people up to date on what's going on in the world of the Kettemans (all 5 of us...animals included).

  8. Awesome, Kim! This is such a cool idea- please keep this up! I'm giving the website to my Parenting class teacher, and we'll probably check it out pretty often.
    In about 6 months, if you ever need a sitter... Find me at church, and I'm so there!
