1/2 way there!

Well, we're both home today because of the snow (yay for snow days!) so I thought I'd take a few moments for an update before we head out to Bob Evans for some Cinnamon Hotcakes (Yum!)...It's hard to believe we're at 20 weeks already, 1/2 way there! We've started to add a few things to the nursery, but are waiting to do any painting or big decorating until we find out what we're having. Our ultrasound was moved from Feb 27th to March 5, so we've got another week to go. Kim is pretty sure she has started to feel the baby moving, but the flutters are so subtle that she's not positive. It does feel different than any other tummy grumbles she's felt before, but she's looking forward to the movements to become stronger as the baby does.

The baby weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now, and is around 6 1/2 inches long from head to bottom and about 10 inches from head to heel - the length of a bannana (we think it's so funny how the different stages of growth are compared to fruits and veggies!). Here's some new pics, we'll do another update after the ultrasound next week!






Starting to Show!

Well, here we are at almost 18 weeks, and finally starting to see a baby bump! Kim is making the switch to maternity clothes and loving it (SO much more comfortable than trying to squeeze into regular clothes!). Patients at Kim's work are starting to notice which is really fun. We read that this month Kim will be able to start feeling the baby move, and possibly even feel hiccups! The baby weighs 5 ounces now (about as much as a turnip), and is around 5 inches long from head to bottom. We are anxiously awaiting our ultrasound at the end of the month!

Last weekend we were in Mohican with some very special friends of ours, the Parschauers. Despite the crazy weather and adventure getting up the hills to the beautiful Mohican Lodge, we had an amazing time. Sommer Parschauer (of Justin and Sommer) is about 6 weeks ahead of Kim (she's due in June) so it was a lot of fun talking about our growing families throughout the weekend. Suprisingly, we didn't take many pictures throughout the weekend, but we did manage to get a few from our balcony the night that the snow just kept on falling (this was a few hours before we lost all power in the lodge).





16 weeks and counting!

Well, here we are at about 16 weeks. A little bump is finally starting to pop out! Kim is feeling really good since we entered the second trimester. Her energy is returning and all the nausea has passed...woo hoo! We scheduled our 20 week ultrasound for the end of February, where we'll find out the sex of the baby, so we're so excited for that! Our parents are going to join us that day too which will be really special.




Baby Crib!

We ordered our crib on Christmas day and it came this week. We were so excited that John put it together the night we got it. The crib got great reviews but we also found it this week it's one of Consumer Report's best buys, actually #1 on the list, which was great news to us! The wood matches an antique buffet piece we have that John's step dad, Chuck, is going to convert into a changing table for us. It will be such a special piece of furnature - we're very excited to have it be part of the nursery. Here's some pics of John putting the crib together...











It's all done!




This is the buffet that will be a changing table...

Our First Ultrasound!

We had our first ultrasound on January 7th. It was so incredible we wished we could just stay there and watch it all day! The Baby was moving around like crazy the whole time, and we even saw his/her mouth moving! Seeing the little heart beating like crazy was so cool. Our due date got moved up to July 13 too. Our next ultrasound will be around 20 weeks, when we'll find out if we're having a boy or girl!









On the 23rd we had our second doctor's appointment, and got to hear our baby's heartbeat for the first time. It was probably the best sound either of us have ever heard!! What a blessing and miracle from God! Here's Kim at 10 weeks, not a whole lot of change yet ;0)






We had a great time celebrating Kim's 31st birthday on the 22nd with a bunch of our friends at Ruby Tuesday. Marcella's sister Monica is in from NY, and the Coys (Rick, Jan, and Jill) are in town awaiting the birth of their first grandchild/niece so they joined us as well! Nikki (Coy) is about 4 days past due in this picture, and ready for her little girl to arrive.


After dinner we surprised the Conley kids with a little Christmas gift. They had a great time just unwrapping it!











We found out on November 10, 2009 that we are expecting our first little one! Our due date is set for July 17, 2010. The first picture is the day we found out...not much to see. The second one is 8 weeks, just a little bump!



Here's 8 weeks along...
