Friday the 13th!

I love when a Friday the 13th rolls around because Brian and I got engaged on a Friday the 13th (of July 2007)!!! So to me Friday the 13th always bring back fun memories and I think it's good luck : )
Today we are 25 weeks and 1 day along...less than 15 weeks until the due date! My belly feels bigger by the day (sometimes by the hour) and I am starting to feel our little Scotty move more often...which is my favorite feeling in the world!!!
In the photo please excuse my scrubby clothes, the first thing I do after work is change into "play clothes" and our undecorated mantle...eventually we will hang up our "C" and put some stuff up there! But do note our jogger that I am so excited about! I am so tempted to take it out for a trial run, but I still feel too lame to jog around with a stuffed Pooh bear and being still visibly pregnant so it will have to wait! Thank you mom and dad for our jogger....it is going to get tons of miles and I know Scott will love going out in it!

2 boys...

Our little dude is expecting a cousin one month after his due date! Hilary and Matt are also pregnant and on Thursday they found out....it's a BOY too! So now we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of not one but two rowdy little boys! We are so excited that they will get to grow up together and be best buddies!

Photo shoot...

Here is the picture from our 20 week ultrasound! Our little guy is so handsome!

Pumpkin Bump...

Baby C's pre Halloween! We are 23 weeks along now and had fun getting into the Halloween spirit at work today! Next year will be the most fun getting our little dude geared up to go trick or treating! Now we are just looking forward to finding out the sex of Baby C's cousin a week from yesterday....we can hardly stand it!

Snakes and snails and puppy dog tails...

...IT'S A BOY!!! Friday Brian and I went in for the 20 week ultrasound. All measurements look great and everything seems to be healthy. At first Baby C's legs were crossed and I was so bummed because I thought we weren't going to get to find out the sex. After some gentle poking and prodding he flashed us and TA-DAH it's a boy!
The best part was I couldn't see the screen but I got to watch Brian's face the whole time. He went from confusion, because he didn't know what in the heck he was looking at, to questioning recognition, because he thought he may have seen something, to elation, because the ultrasound tech drew a perfectly placed arrow and wrote "Oh boy!" on the screen. As soon as I saw Brian's face I knew it was a boy, I didn't have to even wait for the ultrasound screen to be turned to me...his face said it all!
Truthfully we are just praying for a healthy baby (I know everyone says that, but that's all anyone wants anyways right?) and we didn't care if it was a boy a girl. But...I did know that Brian really did want a boy at some point and I know he was just so excited that we get one first!!! And I am too!
Knowing the sex makes it so real! We can finally call the baby 'him' instead of 'it' or 'the baby'. And now we can start picking out nursery colors and decor....let the shopping begin!!!
But mostly we can't wait to meet our little BOY!

20 weeks!

Today makes 20 weeks! 20 down...20 to go! Half way there! We cannot wait to find out if baby C is a boy or a girl tomorrow! And we CANNOT wait to meet our little peanut in February!

1st anniversary!

One year ago (yesterday!) we got hitched! It was the best day ever! It couldn't have been more perfect! Unfortunately I spent most of our anniversary weekend at a pediatric seminar learning about neurosensory integration (it was amazing and I learned a ton!!!). We are hoping to truly celebrate the anniversary with a night out next weekend! As well as hopefully finding out the sex of the baby on friday (fingers crossed everyone!!)!!!!
