It's Definitely a Boy!

Yup, you guessed it, that's his little wiener. We are so happy and excited to be having a little boy. It all feels so real for both of us now and I can quit calling my baby an "it". He is definitely his fathers son, during the ultrasound he wouldn't sit still. However, it was pretty cool watching him spin in circles. I think I'm going to have my hands full with this little one.

We're on a Boat

Ian and I were invited to go out on a boating trip around the sound with Brian, Danielle, Joel and Angie. We left from the Tacoma Yacht Club, traveled under the Narrow Bridge, along Tacoma and Steillacum, then around various smaller islands. While on the boat Ian and Joel finally got a chance to reenact the SNL skit 'We're on a Boat' which made for a lot of fun and a great photo op for them. After a day of boating we enjoyed a nice dinner at the Tacoma Yacht Club. We had a great day on the sound with great people. Thanks again to Brian and Danielle for inviting us.

Sex Count Down - 7 Days

One more week until we find out the sex of our little peanut. It's going to be like Christmas morning but BETTER! I can't wait. We are looking forward to finally being able tell everyone what we are having. Stay tuned!

Week 19 Rocks!

Week 19 has been the most exciting week by far. I can finally feel our little peanut moving around. It's the best feeling ever. When my midwife told me I had an anterior placenta the first thing I thought was, uh oh that cant be good, but all it meant was that I probably wouldn't feel the baby moving for awhile. I was pretty bummed at the news but at least I wasn't deformed or anything. Thankfully it didn't take as long as I thought it would to feel the little flutters. I can't wait for Ian to be able to feel the baby, but for now it's just me. That doesn't stop Ian though from rubbing and talking to my belly. It's so sweet! He's going to be such a good daddy.

Shiny, Bubbly New Toy for Ian

Ian has been talking about getting a hot tub for years and today he finally took that step toward bubbly bliss. He has been buffing and polishing it all afternoon, just like the proud papa he is. Now he has an excuse to run around the yard in his birthday suit, not that he ever needed an excuse before.

Baby's First Photo

On June 30Th we had our first ultrasound. This is our little peanut's first photograph, isn't he/she precious. Having the first ultrasound definitely makes this pregnancy feel real. You can pee on all the sticks you want but until you get to see him/her or hear the little heart beat it doesn't seem quite real.
