Hi! Web just got back from Mexico Saturday evening. I wanted to post a few pictures of some of the things we did...I have many more but it will take a while to get them all uploaded on here so in the mean time here are some of our cave exporation experience. It was so amazing. We hiked down 75 meters underground and then began the decent into the newly discovered Rio Secreto (Secret River) that runs underground. We saw some amazing things...the stilagmites and stilagtites, the formations, all of it was just beautiful. Obviously the work of God! This particular cave was only discovered 2 years ago by a man who was iguana hunting and he just stumbled upon a whole that happened to go deeper and deeper until he found this!!! How amazing! The water was FREEZING down there and there was a large portion of the hike that we were completely submerged..even times it got so tight we had to go completely under to fit and to keep from breaking any of the fragile stilagtites (from the top) off. They are so particular about preservation. And this cave will not be open forever. eventually all of the formations will fuse together and the water level will rise and you won't be able to get down there. Hope you enjoy!

Well...the picture the the right is the last time I will look like that for a while....this week is already proving to be a tough one...for me anyway. I'm sitting at my desk this morning and realize I can't breathe! Not for any real medical reason but because my PANTS ARE TOO TIGHT!! Yes, skinny Hayley is getting FAT...enjoy it now because I PROMISE, as soon as this baby comes out, I will be back to skinny again, if I have to spend 7 days a week, 3 hours a day in gym, it will happen. But anyhow, for right now, I'm blah...I should have known better than to try to fit into my size 2's any longer...all weekend I walked around in velour gym pants and a tee shirt just because I can't stand the feeling of anything remotely tight around my stomach aread. But its work, and we need to make an attempt at professionalism so you know, I tried and I put on my pants and now sitting here at this desk all I want to do is strip my clothes off!!! I haven't stepped on the scale in a week and I am terrifed at the number that will stare back at me. Right now, I have a paperclip holding my pants together...yes, a paperclip. I had to unbutton them, I seriously was having trouble breathing. When I stand they aren't that bad but I ate a small bowl of cereal for breakfast when I got to work and that seems to be the straw that broke the camel's back today. I found that lately I can take about 2 mouthfuls of food and BAM there comes that stomach that looks like I have been an avid beer drinker for the past 15 years. And no one who doesn't know me can tell I'm pregnant, they think I'm just fat...which I hate. I guess now I am paying the price for having thinness (is that even a word?) come naturally. So to all of those who envied my skin and bones, enjoy this!! Please, because someone has to. Me personally, I am miserable right now. Maybe once it becomes obvious that I am pregnant I won't feel so bad. But then the battle will be with those UGLY maternity clothes, ugh! All I can say is, our POOR mothers....what they had to go through..

Our "Pet" Hummer

Well, we had an eventful evening yesterday. When I pulled into the garage at about 5:00, I saw a huge birb fly out...then as I got out the car, I saw a tiny little hummingbird flapping around and flying repeatedly into the ceiling of the garage. He was stuck and didn't know now to get out. Now why she couldn't see the huge exit to fly out of (the door was open) I am not sure but she was going crazy trying to fly through the ceiling! So I went inside and told Kenny we had a problem and we had to get her out before she knocked herself unconcious. So he told me to go get the feeder and we'd hang it in the doorway. We did, and it didn't work. She just wasn't looking down at all. So then I got the broom and thought I could guide her out the door...NOPE! And Kenny said the broom could damage her wings. So then we got the sun visor for the windshield and used it to try to get her to fly out. Still nothing. Kenny was standing on top the fourwheeler and the ladder and everything to try to get closer to her. Nothing was working and I was sure he was going to get hurt. So then we realized she would land on the visor and if we could get her to stay maybe we could get close enough to the side door to put her outside. After about 10 close calls we finally got her to land and got the visor out the door enough that she could fly away...Shwooooooo, that was hard. So 30 minutes later, she was free. Our good deed for the day. I don't think either of us could bare the thought of her stuck in there and possibly hurting herself or dying. But now she is free and I think she knows we love her :-)

Hello!

Well, it seems to be catching on...this blog thing. So I decided that since Kenny and I are embarking on a new journey I would start this blog to help everyone keep up! If you all don't already know, we are expecting our first little baby. Today I am 3 months along. We have had a CRAZY past few months but after our appointment today, we feel like we have hope and that things are going to work out this time. The doctor said everything looks great and we heard the heartbeat (at a strong 165 bpm) on the fetal heartrate monitor. This was the first time Kenny had heard it. The doctor had actually found it back at 8 weeks too! So baby Moore is doing great right now and we will keep praying that is stays that way. Right now the predicted due date is March 17, 2009..looks like we have a St. Patty's Day baby on our hands.
I have two one more appt before I can find out the sex, and YES we plan to find out. Kenny has his money on a boy and I think I have my heart set on a little girl. But whom ever comes out, we will love it to peices! We just want a healthy, happy little one to add to our family.
As soon as there is something to show, I will post some "belly" pictures so you can all see me get fat :-)
Hope everyone is doing well! We will be back soon with any more updates!
Sincerely,
Hayley
