It's official...


Wow, it's been a month since I have posted anything new.  Well, alot has been going on so I will start with the most exciting.   We went to the doctor on Thursday, 7/24 and we are having a boy!!!  We don't really have the name down yet but we do like the name Jacob.  Right now he weighs 10 oz.  and seems to be doing great.  I have still been very fortunate to not be sick (much).  I have only gained 2 lbs. since we found out I was pregnant back in April.  But, it's shifting from somewhere because I do have a belly.  I finally started taking belly pics and measuring my waist.  I'll post those soon.  Back to the ultrasound...our little man did not want to cooperate for a picture.  But, we did get one good one.  He's quite limber.  In case you can't tell, he has his legs stretched out all the way over his head.  I used to be able to do that...not anymore. We go back to the doctor on Thursday, August 21st.

Let me also say what a great birthday I had! I turned 28 on Sunday, the 27th.  It was a great weekend.  On Friday night, my husband took me out for a nice dinner at Firebirds.  ( I had been craving their BLT salad!)  Rebecca joined us for dinner and we met up with Brian at East End after he got off work.  Philip also joined us at East End.  It's so much fun watching everyone else get to drink! :)  Although, I did have a glass of wine, which gave me horrible heartburn.  Actually, it's okay...I can have a good time without drinking.  It just seems like everyone is running specials on Blue Moon when I can't have any.  (I'm okay, though)  On Saturday, my sister came to pick me up and take me to a Consignment Sale.  I found lots of great buys on clothes for our baby boy.  She also took me to lunch and shopping for my birthday at Ulta.  Thanks, Jenny-Pooh! I love you!  On Sunday, we had a family dinner.  Even though my Dad was sick, he smoked a pork shoulder.  I'm sorry you didn't get to join us, Dad.  Thank you for cooking, though.  Matt's Mom and Dad came over for dinner, too.  I got lots of great gifts...mostly maternity clothes (which I needed).  Matt also got me a delicious birthday cake that said "Happy Birthday, Mama".  Did I mention it was delicious?  Overall, it was a great birthday weekend.  Thanks to all of you who made it so special.

Congratulations guys! I'll tell you something no one told us... when you put on the diaper, you have to point it down... otherwise you are changing sheets and clothes ALL the time :-). We're a little slow... took us a couple of days!

Great advice Mike!

Melissa I am so happy for you and Matt. You are one carefree Mommy! I can't wait for this kid to come out! Do you remember how much we all changed when Walker was born?
