Wow! I just can't get over this picture. I guess since I don't see this view very often, I didn't realize how round I look. You can even see my new outie belly button. This has to be one of my favorites.

Mom and J.C. spent the week before last painting baby M's room and our room. It's looks great. Thanks for all the hard work.

Baby M's New Crib

J.C. and I went and picked up the crib at Babies R Us today. It took less than an hour to put together. The best part is its a lifetime crib. That means it converts into a toddler bed with rails, a daybed and eventually a full size bed. So we should get lots of good out of it.

July Doctor visits

J.C. and I went for the ultrasound on Thursday. It was so neat to see baby M move around on the screen. We've been able to feel it for awhile. We even got to see him/her chewing. Baby M was very cooperative and the technician sent us home with many good pictures. As soon as I find the CD I will post some of the shots. Baby M is currently on schedule with an arrival date of Nov. 11 and weights 1 pound and 1 once. It was a very exciting day.

On Friday I got to meet Dr. Meyer, the new obstetrician. He is very nice. Baby M's heartbeat was 150 and my stomach measured 22 weeks. Again, everything seems to be on track. I'm up to 133 pounds and still feeling great. I love feeling Baby M move around (most of the time).

July 2008

This week J.C. and I go for a ultrasound at the hospital. We'll get to see Baby M up close. But we have decided not to find out the gender of the baby. We want it to be a surprise. I'll update later this week with more pictures.

Stroller/ Car Seat Combo

I know its a little early but we couldn't resist such a great deal on this stroller combo. It was half price so J.C. put it together to make sure all the parts were included. We got a great deal.

Here I am at 14 weeks. Starting to show just a little.

May 2008 First Appointment

May 5 was my first doctor's appointment. Everything went well. Baby "M"'s heartbeat was 160. I also got to see him/her for the first time. It looks like a peanut shell. In a few months we will get a better look. Here are Baby "M"'s first photos and they weren't taken by Grandma. But you know she'll be the official photographer in November.

Here I am at three months. Not much to see unless you look real close.

March 2008

J.C. and I found out in March that will be parents in November!!! We are both very excited about this new adventure and want to share our experience with everyone. This blog will document our next few months of getting prepared and ready for Baby "M". We can't wait to meet you!!!
