The State Paper

A co-worker wrote me and told me he saw an article on Matt in The State newspaper, out of Columbia. I looked it up online and found a well-written article by Bob Gillespie about Matt.

Here's the link for you to go read it...

Hendrix Update

Well...we are done with Q-School for the first stage and happy to be able to rest for a couple of weeks. Matt played awesome! Finished 3rd at his site and got his first choice for second stage which is great! He will be playing in Dallas at TPC Craig Ranch November 18th - 22nd. Keep on a prayin'!

As for me and Budrow (our nickname for unnamed baby), we are doing great! Just had our 24 week check up and all is great. I have gained the normal amount of weight (yes, I will no longer be sharing the actual number :) ) and the heartbeat is good. He definitely is moving quite a bit! I haven't figured out a pattern but enjoy the kicks when I get them. The other day, I looked down and a part of my stomach was poking out. Apparently he was stretching and wanted more room :) He is a little over a pound in weight and about a foot long! Crazy!!!

I had strep throat (we think) last week but am over it now. Mom was wonderful and took time off work to come help me out. And boy was she a help! She washed dishes, took care of the dog, went grocery shopping, all that fun stuff. And I just sat on the couch! I tried to move but she wouldn't let me :)

The dreaded Qualifying School

Matt just left for his first stage at Qualifying School in Pinehurst, NC. Fall used to be one of my favorite times of year but gets stressful with Q-School. Matt has had an awesome year and is playing great so we are feeling good about this year!

Please keep him in your prayers this week as he plays!

Mom comes to town

It's been a long time since I've posted! We've definitely been busy but I haven't had time to sit down and put up pictures! Mom came in to town last weekend for her Fall Break and we had a great time! We went and bought a ton of clothes for Baby Hendrix, visited the Hendrix, went to the football game and just hung out. Needless to say, she was probably exhausted by the time she left - we stayed on the go.

Here are some of the pictures of her visit.

CLEMSON!

The most exciting 25 seconds in football! Running down the hill!

Eliza's Christening - October 10, 2009

Eliza was christened last night at St. Mary's Church here in Greenville. She was such a good baby during the whole ceremony! Such a special time for her! And she is truly blessed with a wonderful and amazing family. There were several people there to join in the celebration. Then Meg and Chris were nice enough to host everyone back at their house for dinner.

Here are some of the pictures of sweet Eliza's baptism.

BOY or GIRL?

We went to the doctor yesterday for our 20 week ultrasound. Hard to believe we are halfway through!! We were excited and nervous to go to this ultrasound because they can tell a lot about the health of the baby at 20 weeks. Karen, our US technician, was very patient with us as we had a million questions and wanted to know what everything was. Baby Hendrix is as healthy as can be!!! We were very relieved!

We didn't want Karen to tell us in the office what we were having, so we brought a card for her to write in. When we got to the restaurant for lunch (couldn't wait until dinner) we both opened the card together and found out my instinct was right, we are having a boy!

Below are some pictures of the card and baby boy Hendrix :) Pictures this time were a little less clear but still good!

Hi everyone! I'm a boy and can't wait to see you!!

One day and counting...maybe....

Time to finish up your votes on the "Sex of the baby" poll!!! Looks like more people think sweet Hendrix is a girl and not a boy. Maybe my maternal instinct is incorrect! For the sake of names, I hope it is a girl - that name I think we have picked out :) Of course, as long as he or she is healthy, we are happy as can be!

We have our ultrasound appointment scheduled for tomorrow morning at 10:45am!!! Matt is playing in Chattanooga at a Monday qualifier, so if he gets in (which we hope he does), we will have to put off the ultrasound until another day.

We'll keep everyone posted!!!
