Jessica Kelso

The past week brought many milestones in the Kelso house. I turned the big two five. Thrasher turned the big one. We celebrated with friends, family, and lots of little monsters. My friend Cassie is a photographer and was amazing enough to come take pictures of the whole thing. As soon as I get them, I’ll post some of the shots. He had a blast! He absolutely destroyed the monster cake I made him, and he went swimming for the first time and couldn’t get enough of it! He loves attention, so he loved having everyone there just for him. We had the party in a friend’s neighborhood clubhouse, which ended up being perfect, but made for one long day. It was all worth it to see him having fun though!

Oh, and something else pretty cool. . . we found out we are having a baby girl!!!!! We just had a sonogram yesterday and got the news! I asked the tech how sure she was, “50%?, 85%?” and she said 99%! The sweet little thing wasn’t shy about showing us her cute little butt and everything between the legs, although she was hiding her face from us! I guess that’s okay as long as I got the go ahead to start buying all things girl! When we first started thinking about having kids and I thought about a girl, I always said “she will never wear pink!” but something in me has changed and it’s all I see her in. I may even have to get my sewing machine back out of the closet and start making things again. . . girl prints are so much more fun! Needless to say, we are thrilled! Kevin is absolutely terrified but I think he’ll come around soon enough. In his words “she’s going to own me”.

Now on to the fun part of figuring out a name! I have a feeling this isn’t going to be very easy.
