Surprise!! It's a Baby Girl!

Hello Everyone! Surprise, we are having a baby girl!
We had the opportunity to find out yesterday on our 8 year wedding anniversary. We could not pass it up and on such a perfect day! We are absolutely elated! The most important this is she is 100% positively healthy. The Doctor said she is textbook excellent and that is the most important thing, all we could ask for! God has truly blessed us.

A nursery in progress

As you can can see in the pictures, the nursery is clearly a work in progress. The current yellow/green walls will soon be replaced with pink or blue (which reminds me...keep voting). Also, we plan to go furniture shopping soon. Since we've been warned that some furniture may take 12 weeks to be arrive, we are starting early to make sure that the room is ready in January. Our first task, that we completed over the weekend, was to clear out the clutter and remove the built-in shelving. Stay tuned for more updates and pictures of the nursery's continued development.

MATERNITY CLOTHES ARE UGLY!

Sorry to be so blunt, but its the truth!! My husband is even feeling sorry for me. Those of you that have seen my closets know, that for someone to feel bad for me regarding clothes, there has to be something wrong. So currently I have 6 things I can wear! 3 pairs of pants, 2 of which are black and 3 pairs of shirts, 2 of which are black!

Here is a list of why maternity clothes are not favored by me:
1. Mostly can be washed in a wash machine. I prefer my clothes to be dry-cleaned = less hassle!
2. They have no style!
3. Hate to wear the same thing in the same week!
4. They want all pregnant women to end up on "What not to wear"!


So if anyone knows of a good place to get clothes that are not ugly and I can actually wear in public to work, please give your suggestions! However, I ask no Gap Maternity. (sorry to those of you that love the Gap, but I did not wear it before I was pregnant, too casual for work and that is where I am 90%of the time.)

Thanks to all!

Adventures in registering

We could not wait any longer to register for the basics! This was more for us to have fun then for the baby. Of course we can not wait to take the little one to the toy stores, once again, more fun for the parents. Enjoy the pictures as we had a great time that night.

Baby's Gender

Another update:
We have set up a poll to see how many of you think the baby is a Girl or Boy!
Special enough, we find out on my cousin Adda's 20th Birthday, August 25th!!
I remember being over the moon the day that she was born, finally my sister and I had a cousin to play with and a girl to create more family craziness!!! I need to find a baby picture of Adda to put up on the special day :-)

Another update!

We had our regular checkup this morning! The baby has a very strong heart beat and is growing well, so is Mom to be! We have our ultrasound in a couple of weeks! We will be posting a poll to see if everyone's guess if its a Girl or Boy!

Baby Update on Bastille Day!

Bonjour nos amis!
We had our 13 week check up today! Baby is doing well, he/she has a strong heart beat!

Mom-to-be is still exhausted, and Dad-to-be is happy we are no longer going to sleep at 1am!

In a few months it will turn to 1am feedings :-)
