Update

We went to the doctor the last week of October and Davis was soooo big they made me do my glucose test. Come to find out I don't have diabetes.....he is just big haha. We go back to the doctor the first week of December. Steve and I can't wait to meet our baby boy! We are looking forward to February!

24 Week Ultrasound

Baby's Little Face

Our little boy likes to suck his thumb!

We know where he got his feet! :) Thanks Daddy!

STRETCHING :)

Everything looks good so far! He is weighing in about 2 pounds and has a head with a circumference of 24cm. We will keep our fingers crossed that everything continues to go smoothly.

Ultrasound Catch Up!!!

We go for another ultrasound Oct. 15th....more photos posted later!

20 Weeks

Our little man sucking his thumb-

He has big palms like his Daddy!

It's official.....He's a Boy!

12 weeks

He has long legs like daddy!



We think we have boy parts! (Steve is soooo proud!)

Mommy's favortite picture!

OH BOY, OH BOY!

So as it turns out, Steve and I are having a boy! We had an ultrasound at 12 weeks and we thought we saw some 'boy parts'....however it was too early to tell for sure. Sure enough, at our 20 week ultrasound we confirmed the original sighting! Steve is very excited about his little cub scout. Steve wants Davis' nursery to have sailboats.....so I found some bedding and ordered it from where else but The Gap. I'll try to keep posting....haha it was easy to post during the summer......but now that school has started I just haven't found the time.

UPDATE
Exhaustion has set in! I struggle to get up in the morning....which is completely unlike me. I keep hearing that the 2nd trimester brings a surge of energy and I sure hope so!! As the weeks continue to go by I seem to get more tired.


BOOKS
I bought Steve a book called Pregnancy Sucks for Men haha. (Really, I liked the cover which has a prego belly on one side and a hairy man gut on the other) Steve didn't appreciate it, so I am reading the book instead. :) I am enjoying it because it is humorous and I think everyone needs some comic relief during these odd months of pregnancy. I suppose that is the difference between Steve and I....He would rather read a factual book... and I need some humourous stories to keep me interested. (I think we balance each other out) I would highly recommend it for anyone who needs to step back and laugh at the strange bodily functions that occur during pregnancy. Likewise, I think it's nice to stop reading about all the horrible things that can happen in each month. I bought the pregnancy bible: What to Expect When You're Expecting and hate it! It is not helpful but just causes you to worry about EVERYTHING.

NEXT APPOINTMENT
I know I am not a doctor....BUT....I think there should be more ultrasounds in the first trimester. I mean 4 weeks in between appointments in A REALLY LONG TIME! (especially when you have read the first few chapters of the Pregnancy Bible....which should be titled Syndromes and Miscarriage. Nevertheless, I am anxious for our next appointment where we should hear the heartbeat.

I'll keep you posted!

So......We're having a baby! SURPRISE! Steve and I are very excited about the next chapter in our lives. We found out the first week in June and couldn't wait to tell everyone. I think it's safe to say that the parents are utterly tickled! Steve has become the resident baby expert, reading all kinds of books. I on the other hand am just trying to keep food down. At first, the morning sickness wasn't bad at all but in the past few weeks it has been worse. I hear it will get better.

We went to the doctor June 25th and received the first photo of our baby....which we affectionately call...'the blob'. :) We saw the heart beat, which looked a lot like a speck of glitter. Both of us just watched completely amazed by what we created. Needless to say we were in such awe that we forgot to ask all the questions we has brainstormed before the appointment. haha We go back to the doctor in two weeks and should be able to hear the heartbeat. Yea! I'll keep you posted.
