23-24 Weeks

okay...is she the cutest thing you have seen or what? we received a great report at the sonogram. baby is growing perfectly and she was as active as ever. dad and grams were there for the big viewing. it was great fun to see her little face, fingers, and toes. she was kicking and turning and rubbing her eyes. bottom line and most important: she is super HEALTHY! thank heaven for little girls.

Work in Progress...

the nursery is coming right along, but not quite finished. i love to go into her room, sit in the rocker, and think about what she will look like..be like..aspire to. i can hardly wait to meet her. i am looking forward to tomorrow because i have another sonogram and will get to see her. i will be sure to post the pics asap.

Up to Speed

whew! it's hard to believe that we are halfway through this pregnancy and I am thrilled to report that all is well. baby and mom are doing great and it's time to think pink. that's right, this baby is a "she". the growth sonograms to this point show her to be within a few days of her october 13th due date.

we are still working on a full name, but have decided that the name claire will be somewhere in the mix, so...i felt claire move for the first time on May 27 at 10:35pm, and it was the greatest thing EVER. she has since proven herself to be quite the night owl. movement has increased to the point of keeping mom up the last couple of nights, but i'm not complaining because it is just too cool.

First Photo

this is the very first pic of my little one. it was taken at 9 weeks and although the quality isn't the best i'm sure we all agree that baby is ADORABLE!
