It's a Boy!!!

The doctor's office gave us a DVD of the sonogram; however, it is 10 minutes long and far larger than what is allowed to be uploaded on this blog. So we'll have to show each of you the video next time we see you.


He was very active throughout the sonogram, and he is perfectly healthy! It's neat to see how much he is moving, since at this stage I am only feeling him every few days. The doctor said it will be a few more weeks before I should feel him every day. He is about 5 1/2 - 6 inches rump to crown, and he weighs ~8 oz. Here are a few pictures.

A leg.

His foot.

Proof that he's a boy.

12 Week Sonogram

I'm a little behind in posting this considering I'm nearly 19 weeks.  Hopefully, we'll have a better picture after tomorrow's sonogram.  Here is our 12 week sonogram.  The "+" at the bottom left is his/her rump, and the "+" at the top right is the crown of his/her head.  You can see a thigh & calf bone coming out of the rump at the bottom left "+", but overall the picture quality is just not very good.  He/she was 60mm (~2.5 inches) at 12 weeks.

And here are a few baby bump pictures.  Here is 13 weeks.

And here is 16 weeks.

Christmas Decorations

We decorated for Christmas this past weekend.  Here are a few photos of the house.

House Update

We are out of the option period on our house, and we are enjoying not having to have our house perfectly clean and tidy at all times.  We are also officially under contract on what will hopefully be our new house.  We are scheduled to close on both houses on or before Sept. 30.  We have also scheduled our move date for Monday, Oct. 5.  Below are some pictures of the house.  It won't need much work, but we are planning on updating the kitchen.

House News

Well, I set up this blog about 9 months ago, but I have been waiting for a reason to post something. We are officially under contract on our house. Of course, the offer came the same day that we were having it painted...just our luck :). The house looks great, and we wish we had done it sooner; I'm not sure it'll look like this for long, since the pending buyers are planning to renovate. Here's a photo of our new "hazy sage & brown" house.

We will hopefully be making an offer on our new house this week. I'll post pictures of that house, once we are under contract.
