The Wilt Family

Happy Holidays everyone! I hope you all had a very merry Christmas! Kevin and I sure were busy! On Christmas Eve we spent the day at my parents house. Kevin helped my dad do some stuff outside and I helped my mom cook and get the house all ready! Kevin even gave me one of my Christmas gifts early! haha:) he got me an AMAZING video camera! He gave it to me early because he figured I would want to start video taping on Christmas Eve...with family coming and all! I'm so excited because I really wanted one with Rylei's birthday coming very soon! Less than 6 weeks to go everyone! Boy am I ready! Anyway, on Christmas day we went to Kevin's Aunt Jean and Uncle Harold's house for noontime dinner. It was a lot of fun! His aunt Mary and Jim were there, along with his mom and his cousin Matt with his little girl, Tory. She is cute as a button! Kevin's dad didn't come because Judy said he was piddling around outside and didn't get ready in time! haha:) cracks me up!! If you know Joe you know what she's talking about:) haha! We left there around 2 and went to my aunt Nancy and Uncle Harold's for the Fisher side Christmas celebration. We had alot of fun there too! It was really good to see everyone! Anyway, we left around 6:45pm and went back to my parents house to do our Christmas with Kindra, John, Rhett, Emma, Cole, & Naya. It was awesome! We laughed and laughed and laughed! And of course I got it all on my new video camera! it was great! lol:) Christmas isn't over for us yet though! Kristie, Joey, & Kaylyn are coming in town on the 31st, and Holly, Mike, & Aedan are coming on Jan. 1! We are so excited to see them! I can't believe my baby shower is next Saturday! That is partially the reason they waited to come into town so late! anyway, I hope everyone's Christmas was as joyful as ours:) And always remember the reason for the season:)

It's almost Christmas everyone! YAY! I love this time of year! Although, I'm feeling a little out of room and uncomfortable! haha:)We don't have any traveling plans for Christmas. We are having Christmas Eve at my parent's house...they always have a big thing for the family. I think Judy and Joe, Kevin's parents, will be coming. Then on Christmas day I'm sure we will go over to Kev's mom and dad's at some point in the morning, then go the my Aunt Nancy's house at two. Then around 4 we are heading to my mom's and dad's for the eveing:) I don't know if we will have a white Christmas or not..we may have some light snow though! We had quite the ice storm a couple days ago and Kevin had to drive me to work! he complained..but deep down I know he doesn't mind. I just don't want to risk a fall in the parking lot here..especially since we have to park so far away..and I trust Kev's driving in ice WAY better than my own! haha! Which may surprise some of you:) I went to the doctor again yesterday! I only have one more appointment in two weeks and then I go every week for the last 4 until she is born! I can't believe how quick these last couple months have gone! thanks the lord is all I can say! haha:) dr. drake did inform me that should I go into labor in the next two weeks, he will be in town! i was like...Thank goodness! haha! although i don't expect to go into labor, but you never know! It happens more often than you think. As much as I would like to have my body to myself again, I hope she stays in and cooks a little while longer!

Hello all! I just wanted to update you on my latest doctor's visit! When I went in the doctor he was shocked to see that I lost a pound. (Really I had lost about 3 but the nurse was generous and let me factor in my tennis shoe weight so he wouldn't be too concerned haha!) I told him it's because he told me to watch my fluids so I drank only water, juice, and milk! haha...he laughed at me and told me that I misunderstood! I was supposed to watch drinking as many fluids period! haha! He said I should try freezing my juice and then eating it to avoid drinking so many fluids! Apparently he thinks I'm retaining it! But I'm not swollen at all so I don't know! It's confusing! He said that I CANNOT lose weight right now though, which I understand! So I've gained around 16 lbs so far and 8 more weeks to go! Now I have 2 "two-week" appointments and then I start going every week until she arrives! We are getting SO excited. I'm terrified beyond words, but excited! Its hard to believe in just a few short weeks we will have a new little baby around! It will be the "three of us" now:) I couldn't be happier!

Hope everyone's Thanksgiving was wonderful! Ours sure was:) I started out the day by getting up at 8am (which is no big deal since I can't hardly sleep anyway haha) to start making pumpkin pies to take to my mom & dad's. Then we went over to Kevin's parents around 10:30am. His aunts Jean & Mary, along with his uncle Harold, and Jim, aunt Mary's boyfriend, came over. Aunt Louise was going to but couldn't make it. We had a good time! They looked at pictures of our wedding and also Rylei's latest pictures! They really liked them:) Then we went over to my parents around 2pm. It was a good time of course! My gramma Lee, Kindra, John, Rhett, Emma, Cole, and Danaya were there. Along with my parents of course! We had a big sit down dinner in the dining room and there was TONS of food! I ate so much that day that I'm almost embarrassed..but not quite! haha:) After dinner Cole, John, Kev, & Dad took off to Auto Zone to get some brake thing for Cole's truck. That left us girls to clean up and then chit chat. It was good getting to spend time with Naya again! I'm discovering more and more that she's an awful fun person behind that quiet exterior! When the men got back they went outside and tossed around the football for awhile..and of course when I let Emma see out the door she got SO excited because A) there were people throwing a ball and B)oh my goodness "Boo" (aka Kevin) was out there! haha..for some unknown reason she calls him Boo! Its awful cute though! She sure does love uncle Kevin. None of us hold a candle to him! He claims he "has that effect on women." see what I married? haha:) I wouldn't have him any other way of course! Anyway, we left my parents around 9:30 or so and went home and snuggled on the couch, drank hot cocoa, and watched Christmas with the Kranks. It sure was a wonderful day, and I am certainly thankful:)

So Kevin and I went to PDI on Wednesday for our 4D sonogram and Rylei did NOT want to cooperate! haha...she was curled up in a little ball, on my right side, with her head next to my right hip bone, facing my back, with her hands over her FACE! We poked at her for at least half an hour and she did NOT want to wake up. So I got up and jumped up and down! That made her mad and she turned even farther away! Poor Kevin; When we left I was so upset...and when we got home I broke down and started crying! I told him I felt so bad because I was annoyed at our unborn baby for not cooperating with something she knew nothing about! He laughed at me..I'm sure it was hormones and I know I sounded ridiculous! haha:) He's so patient with me. Anyway, they had told us to try coming back the next day at 2pm. Kevin couldn't make it because he was working with my dad. But my mom and Kindra went and she actually cooperated! (Granted I drank two cans of Vault that morning to get her good and caffinated!) We got the most amazing pictures! She has HUGE chubby cheeks! And they verified that it is definitely a girl! It was the sweetest thing I've ever seen! I'm going over to his mom's house on Sunday to post the pictures on here! It was nice to get a little look, but we are so excited to meet her:)

WOW! I have quite a bit of things to post on here as it's been almost 3 weeks since my last post! I'll start with my last doctor's appointment. They gave me my glucola test and I tested perfectly normal! Yay! So no gestational diabetes for Morgan! haha:) I talked to Kindra about my spell I had at work and she said she used to do that ALL the time with Emma! She said Emma would move and put pressure on her vena cava and cause her to do the same thing I did! I KNOW thats what happened now because whenever I start to feel that way, I just lie down or change my position so that she changes hers and I immediately feel better! I'm convinced that our little girl is a stinker already! haha...I know for SURE that I was as a child...my mom never fails to remind me! haha. Kevin insists that he was an absolute angel, but I think we all know better! lol. Another big thing that happened was my brother and Danaya got married this past Saturday November 15th! It was a BEAUTIFUL wedding...very emotional for a pregnant woman. I had to hold back tears many times...especially when her dad and my brother sang to her. Kevin laughed at me but I can't help it! haha:) They are in Pigeon Forge, TN right now..and I'm sure they are having a great time! I'm a little jealous! haha:) I told Kevin it made me want to do our wedding again! haha..even though it was only 3 months ago! I loved being the bride! haha:) But now I get to look forward to being the mommy:) We have an appointment at 11am this Wednesday to get a 4D ultrasound done! I can't hardly wait to see her little face! I will have to put a slide show of them on here for all you who don't live here!

My Gramma Lee used to read me this poem when I would stay the night with her when I was little. She always said it was one of her favorites! I was thinking about the poem in my head today and thought it would only be appropriate to post it on here for all to enjoy!

WHEN THE FROST IS ON THE PUNKIN
by: James Whitcomb Riley (1849-1916)
When the frost is on the punkin and the fodder's in the shock,
And you hear the kyouck and gobble of the struttin' turkey-cock,
And the clackin' of the guineys, and the cluckin' of the hens,
And the rooster's hallylooyer as he tiptoes on the fence;
O, it's then's the times a feller is a-feelin' at his best,
With the risin' sun to greet him from a night of peaceful rest,
As he leaves the house, bareheaded, and goes out to feed the stock,
When the frost is on the punkin and the fodder's in the shock.

They's something kindo' harty-like about the atmusfere
When the heat of summer's over and the coolin' fall is here--
Of course we miss the flowers, and the blossums on the trees,
And the mumble of the hummin'-birds and buzzin' of the bees;
But the air's so appetizin'; and the landscape through the haze
Of a crisp and sunny morning of the airly autumn days
Is a pictur' that no painter has the colorin' to mock--
When the frost is on the punkin and the fodder's in the shock.

The husky, rusty russel of the tossels of the corn,
And the raspin' of the tangled leaves, as golden as the morn;
The stubble in the furries--kindo' lonesome-like, but still
A-preachin' sermuns to us of the barns they growed to fill;
The strawstack in the medder, and the reaper in the shed;
The hosses in theyr stalls below--the clover over-head!--
O, it sets my hart a-clickin' like the tickin' of a clock,
When the frost is on the punkin and the fodder's in the shock!

Then your apples all is gethered, and the ones a feller keeps
Is poured around the celler-floor in red and yeller heaps;
And your cider-makin' 's over, and your wimmern-folks is through
With their mince and apple-butter, and theyr souse and saussage, too! ...
I don't know how to tell it--but ef sich a thing could be
As the Angels wantin' boardin', and they'd call around on me--
I'd want to 'commodate 'em--all the whole-indurin' flock--
When the frost is on the punkin and the fodder's in the shock!

It was a busy weekend for the Wilts! On friday night my sisters, Kindra and Taylor, along with our mother and I, hosted our new sister-in-law's bridal shower! My brother Cole and his fiance Danaya are getting married on November 15th! We are so excited to have her as part of our family! She is super sweet and she makes my brother VERY happy! The shower was a lot of fun. Our theme was "Marry, Merry Christmas" since they are getting married right before the start of the Christmas season and would have to buy all new decorations and such! It turned out really beautiful. The neighbors probably thought we were crazy because we had the inside of the house all decked out in Christmas decorations! haha:) I'll be posting some pictures on here soon! I know I've promised that before! It's on my list of things to do! haha:) Kevin and I are looking forward to this weekend! We decided to have our first annual Fall Bash at our house! We are having hotdogs, hamburgers, chili, and of course hot cocoa and cider! We are having a bonfire and also a campfire! We're gonna do a hayride and play some games! His sister and her family (Kristie, Joey, and Kaylyn) are coming up this weekend for a visit, so they are going to be here for all the fun! Saturday just also happens to be Kaylyn's sixth birthday! But she is SO SO tall for her age that I could have swore she was going to be seven! Of course Uncle Kevin just couldn't resist telling her this! Haha! He told me yesterday that she has been telling everyone down in Georgia that Morgie thinks she's going to be seven! She thinks its so funny! We can't wait to see them:)

So far I've had a problem-free pregnancy, but the past couple days I've experienced a couple scary issues! I was helping out a visitor who was waiting for a surgery patient at work and I started getting this tingley, almost tickley feeling over my entire body. It started to get worse and consume me it felt like! I just had this overwhelming feeling that something wasn't right. All the while I kept trying to help this visitor out! I started to feel really anxious and panicky...then my vision started to get blurry and tunnel. I could tell I was about to pass out. I have never experienced that before so I was really scared as you can imagine. I barely finished talking to the visitor and made my way to the back office. I laid on the floor and immediately felt relief. Meanwhile, one of the security guards I work with took off quickly to get me some orange juice. I took a couple drinks and felt a little better..enough so I could continue working at least. I don't know if it was my blood sugar dropping dangerously low or what...It was nothing like I have ever experienced! Usually when my blood sugar drops too low I get shaky, but I felt none of that. Luckily I have my glucola test in a few weeks so I can find out what's going on! Then this morning I woke up with HORRIBLE back pain! I tried stretching and changing to every possible position but nothing helped ease the pain! Finally, after I had tried everything I could think of, I woke Kevin up and told him something was wrong. I was terrified that I was going into pre-term labor or something. He had worked all night and had only been asleep for a couple hours but he woke up and rubbed my back for probably 20 minutes! After he rubbed my back and relaxed me I was fine and able to fall back asleep! He's so wonderful and caring:) I have no idea what that was either...hopefully it was just a back cramp that needed worked out! Needless to say I am going to bring up both incidents to Dr. Drake.

Kevin & I have had quite a busy week! On Monday we had to go to Warren's visitation and Tuesday was the funeral. His family and college buddies made it really nice. It was more a celebration of Warren's arrival in heaven than a sad time. I believe it was Pastor Peterson who asked us all if we thought we would see Warren in heaven...It really made me think and question how strong my faith is. I was brought up in a Christian church of course and I've always believed in God and have been saved, but I've never been baptised. Being around Warren, Tana and their family, friends, and church has made me find my fit in life. I truly feel that way. These people are so strong in their faith and the most wonderful people I've ever been around in my entire life. I've never felt so inspired to be like someone! They make you feel so close to God. I told Kevin we need to make sure we go to church EVERY Sunday, even though our work schedule is so hectic! It needs to be a priority. We want to make sure Rylei is brought up knowing Jesus, which of course she would be! Speaking of Rylei, Kevin and I started on her nursery this week also! Actually, yesterday! Her room was kind of still being used as a junk room from leftover wedding stuff and extra things from the move that we just didn't know what to do with! But we got that all cleaned out, the border stripped off, and it's primered now! Kev opened both windows for me and it still smelled really strong in there! Needless to say, I had to take a couple breaks! Haha:) Even though Kevin had a lot of work going on outside, he came in and helped me out ALOT! Of course, all of you know the hard worker that Kevin is! He's so wonderful. God certainly has blessed me with a wonderful husband and family!

I went to see Dr. Drake on Thursday for my monthly checkup and i figured that I better post on here how I was progressing so far! I'm going to post her 10 week and 19 week ultrasound pictures on here as soon as I get the chance, because I know there are quite a few people who haven't gotten the chance to see them! I've been feeling really good lately, except I get nauseas when I get too tired or too hungry. Apparently this is normal though. At the doctor they told me that I've gained 5 lbs so far..not too bad for being near six months I think! (Although I had only gained 1 lb a month ago! haha) He told me that I am progressing beautifully! He has no trouble finding her heartbeat now since she's growing so much and so fast now! Her heartbeat has been staying in between 140 and 154 bpm. He told me I am to come back next month for a glucola and my monthly appointment. A glucola is a test that checks for gestational diabetes, which is fairly common in pregnant women I guess! I have to drink a nasty orange drink, wait an hour, and then have my blood drawn. I'm so excited I can't hardly stand it! haha just kidding of course! Anyway, just wanted to update on here since people are always wondering how I'm feeling lately!

This is the first post on our new blog! It was created to document our lives and let our family and friends who don't live near know more about what's going on with us. Kevin & I were married before Christ and our friends and family on August 2, 2008. We are expecting our first child, a baby girl on February 5, 2009! We have decided to name her Rylei Addison. (Due to my growing up in Riley,IN) Only about 3 1/2 months to go! It's going so fast yet so slow all at the same time! The holiday season is coming fast and it's weird to think that this is the last Christmas we will spend as a two-some! We couldn't be happier! (Although Kev gives me a hard time about wanting to spend money on little girls things all the time! haha) I've behaved though! She is a very active little thing already, like her daddy I suppose! Haha:) On a less happy note, Kevin & I had to say goodbye to a dear, dear friend yesterday. Warren Brokering was a beloved pastor, mentor, and friend. He lost his battle with cancer and went home to be with the Lord. Kevin knew Warren many years, and I've come to know him through Kevin since we've been together. He was a wonderful person and had a strong impact on our lives. I was just telling Kev in the truck yesterday when we were driving home that even though I only knew Warren for a short time, he was the type of person who made you feel like a better person just by being around him. He will be dearly missed by us, and we are SO SO SO grateful that he was the person who wedded us in holy matrimony. He certainly gave us a wonderful start to what has been and always will be a wonderful marriage:)
