25 Weeks

Here is the most recent belly photo taken this past weekend. I am now 25 weeks and feeling pretty well. Baby boy has been very active. Chris talks to the baby every day. It is so amazing how quick the baby responds to his voice. Chris is excited to become a Daddy and it is so neat to see.
We are planning on getting a 3D/4D ultrasound in the next few weeks. I will post some photos when we do.
My tummy has grown a lot in the past month not to mention that I have gained the most weight out of any month so far. It was kind of depressing, but I am convinced it had to do with the good old holiday splurging and travel.
We started looking at baby furniture and other items this past week. It's time to start planning and figuring out what we will need. It has been so long that I have forgotten how much you need to prepare for a baby.
Our house is still on the market and we are anxious to get back to California to get settled. No luck yet, but we have seen much more activity lately, which is good. We are praying that some one comes along and makes an offer soon. It is a little frustrating for us not knowing exactly what to expect. We have about six weeks left to get an offer in order to move back before the baby arrives. If not, he will be born a little Texan...

Home for the Holidays

We spent Christmas Eve at my sister's house. It was wonderful spending time with the family. This was first time we have been back in town since the pregnancy.

Micah (3) and Taylor (7). This baby will be surrounded by cousins.

Proud Grandpa, Grandma and Daddy to be.

Baby is sure to be buddies with his cousin Luke.

Justin is excited to finally become a big brother.

IT'S A BOY!!!

On December 17th we had our first ultrasound and learned we were having a baby boy. Chris was super excited as he was hoping for a boy. We think he's going to be an athlete with all the moving he's doing inside. He's been moving so much that we can both feel it and now see it on the outside of my tummy. We don't have a name picked out yet but now that we know its a boy we will need to get busy.

I'm pretty sure this baby boy is going to be spoiled. After being back in California for Christmas, we already have a dresser full of clothes from our family. I think they are almost as excited about the new baby as us.
