Update

So we went to the doctor today and the visit was quite short. I have gained only 3 pounds in 4 weeks which is the perfect weight gain, woo hoo, go me! And we heard the baby's heart beat. It's beating at 160 bpm, which is exactly what it should be....it was really awesome to hear. We also got to hear it move which was pretty cool too. I go back to the doctor in 4 weeks for this really in depth ultrasound where they take measurements and look at the organs and they can also determine the sex, which we are opting out of, of course. Sorry no new pics!

Baby Stuff!

The first piece of baby clothing from Chris' Mom

The armoire form Chris' Mom

The toys Aunt Zelda sent

The stroller from my parents

My parents came to visit a couple of weeks ago and we got our first set of baby items! We bought a crib with separate rails so that the crib can convert into a toddlers bed and then a full size bed, we also got a changing table that turns into a nightstand, and we got a stroller. I also got some maternity clothes, that I don't quite fit into yet, at least as far as the pants are concerned. Chris' Mom gave us an armoire that was his grandmothers that is perfect for the room and she bought us a little snappy shirt thing for the baby also. My Aunt Zelda also gave us our first toys. We just wanted to thank everyone for everything, we really appreciate it. I go to the doctor on Tuesday and hopefully we will get to hear the heartbeat for the first time!

Today is the day

So we decided to tell everyone this weekend about our exciting news. For those of you new to the site, welcome! So Chris and I are having a baby! I will be 12 weeks pregnant starting Monday so we thought with the long weekend it would be a good time to tell the rest of our family. The due date is Jan. 19th, 2009. We have decided to wait until the birth to find out the sex so it will be a big surprise. We have chosen two names, if it's a boy we have chosen Caden Michael and if it's a girl we have chosen Scarlett Lynne. I went to the doctor about two weeks ago and the baby was fine. It was about 1 1/2 inches and it is already moving, although I can't feel anything yet. I go to the doctor in about 2 1/2 weeks and we will keep you posted with pictures and updates as the pregnancy continues.

Fate or Karma or something hates us

Just when you think things should finally start looking up and Fate and Karma are finally on your side, they turn around spit in your face and give you an Indian Rug Burn. So now our furnace broke, which, apparently, makes the A/C blow into the house and as a result we have no cold air inside. So on top of a new A/C we get a new furnace....yay. All I can say is I'm adding at least $20,000 onto the resale value of our house for all the pain and suffering. So Mom and Dad, pending a Hurricane your visit next week should be pleasant.
