First Sonagram

What a wonderful Christmas present we got this year! To see our little one's heartbeat for the first time. It was beating away very strong and very fast! From head to "rump" measures a whole 1.13cm, shown with the dotted line. Everything is looking good and the official due date is August 10th. Hope everyone is having a fabulous Christmas. God Bless

Missing You

As Christmas day arrives upon us this week I begin to feel happy and sad at the same time when I think about my beloved grandfather, Hayden Pitman who left us to go be with his God and the love of his life in July of this year. There has not been one Christmas day in my life thus far he has not been a part of. The day was spent opening all of the gifts he and my granny spoiled us with, eating lots of good food as well as celebrating his and my granny's anniversary. They were married on Christmas day in 1941; 63 years of marriage when my granny passed 3 years ago. Their love for their family and each other was indescribable and it inspires me to strive to be the same kind of role model for my children and grandchildren as they were for me. These last three years my grandad had been happy to still be here with the rest of the family, but since his soul mate had been gone he did not have the same pep and glow to him especially on Christmas day. So as my selfish side wishes he was still physically here to celebrate another Christmas day and to soon meet a great grandchild who will be named after him, I know he is sitting in Heaven with his soul mate with that pep and glow restored watching over us. Please know how much you will be missed this Christmas and always.

Hillger Christmas

Just a few pics from this weekend in Justin's home town celebrating Christmas. It was a great weekend with lots of good food, and spending time with the family.

Chapters 1,2 and 3

Okay so after several months of saying I was going to create one of these things, I have finally got the motivation (and lots of help from co-workers) after several big events for Justin and I. After getting married in Jamaica 6 months ago, buying our first home, and now finding out one of the biggest blessings of all.... we are going to have a precious little one!! We are so excited and now that we have this blog, it will be much easier to keep all friends and family in the loop of what is going on and updates and such! Here are a few pictures of our new home which seems like infinite space compared to the lion's den we were in for a short period of time. God is good and has throughouly blessed our marriage and life together thus far. We are so happy and excited to see what is in store for our future!





And we can't forget our first addition to our family... Ringo! And yes, we named him after one of the Beatles. We adopted him from border collie rescue and have had him for about 2 months now. He was abandoned in the back yard of a lady's home who went to a nursing home. He is very timid and scared of new situations and people at first but has warmed up to us and his new home!
