I know the Radcliffe's came from Canada at some point, but I didn't think anyone still lived there? So let us know who you are....thanks a bunch!

Just a Few Days Left To Vote!!!
Now on to what I really wanted to write about...Don't forget to vote...and I am not talking about your absentee President Ballot coming out...I am talking about you vote for whether Baby Beanut is a girl or boy. I really have no clue. Only 27 people have voted-and there is only two days left. It is suppose to snow that day here in Washington, but I informed Dan that he will get me to the hospital one way or another...Beanut just needs to be good!! Well have a great day!
Check out the picture below of Dan and I during Christmas...I believe I was 12 weeks pregnant! Oh look my face hasn't gotten fat yet!! We look like we are in a "New Parents to Be" Daze!!

Update on Baby Beanut and The Ratliff's!
Sorry I haven't posted anything new lately. I just went back to work on January 7th after 2 weeks of Winter Vacation....it is the best part about being a teacher....of course the kids are great too!! I have heard from many family and friends that they have checked out the Blog and it is great to hear from you! Since I last posted anything, many exciting things have happened! We received the test results back from part of my combined screening. I was at my sister's house when I received the call that Beanut has a very low chance of having Downs Syndrome! That was great news for us...one thing to check off. I also went to the Doctor yesterday, only gained 3 pounds total since I got pregnant! Yoooohoooo! However, on a different note, I heard the baby's heartbeat and Beanut is still going strong. The doctor asked me if I had felt the baby kick yet? Uhhh, no.....I don't think so, I said. So we will be on the look out for that. In addition to doctor stuff, My uncle Scott got re-married...sorry family, no pictures yet (Nikki...will you send me a few to post?) My cousin Nicole came in town from Tim-buck-too....just kidding, Idaho! However, it might as well be far away since we never see her because she is so far away! We also started shopping for baby furniture....ugggghhhh. This has been going on since Christmas I swear! My parents have been gracious to help us out this the baby furniture, but goodness gracious, I am now thinking helping us out with carpet would have been better. It is so hard to find good quality furniture made of wood. I went with my sister over break looking, my parents, and Dan. We finally found something, but of course it only comes in one color, and it is the color we are trying to avoid! So back to the "drawing board!" Anyone who has been around me knows I am a planner, so this is driving me crazy. Last, but not least, I have officially lost my brain this week, and made a fool of myself! I was sitting in the lunchroom, I had just finished a conversation with my principal, one of the secretaries, and some of the Para-Eds at my school about having "Mommy-Brain." Then I turn around, walked into the office and said, "I need a calculator, I don't remember what 50 divided by 2 is"......No comment please, I have already embarrassed myself enough this week and I turn 29 on Monday-I am loosing my brain early! On that note, I will leave you will some cute kitty videos/pictures. Check them out!

I think Baby Beanut had a great first New Year!! I know we have decided to challenge My sister's family...The Bobins to a Rockband face-off this weekend. I was over there this evening playing Rockband with the boys, my sister, and Brother-in-law...and I have to say they do a pretty good job!!! We will have to see how it turns out!!
By the way...Baby Beanut is due in 25 weeks (Thanks for the update Renee-I can't keep track of these things)! Hope everyone had a safe and happy New Year!!
