Good News!

We had our ultra sound today and the tech. said that the placenta has moved and it is not blocking the cervix! Praise the Lord! We shouldn't have to worry about a C-Section now. She also said that the baby has hair, surprise, surprise! You could actually see it on the ultra sound! I also got to see a 4D image of his face and I think it is safe to say he is going to look just like his dad! :) I also asked her how much he weighed and she said 3lbs. and that the due date she was getting from the measurements today was Feb. 11th so we'll just have to wait and see when he decides to arrive!!
Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Until next time!

Bebo's Spa Day

For all of you who don't already know him, Bebo is our two year old Brittany. Our first born son! We took him to the dog groomer for the first time today after school. Here are his before photos:

He smelled WONDERFUL when I picked him up and he looked a lot better too. I have to admit the bandana around his neck was awfully cute too! Here are his after photos:

On another note, my ultra sound is scheduled for Saturday. We will be sure to post the results as soon as we know them. Until then everyone have a safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving!

Baby Shower!

We had our first baby shower on Saturday. It was absolutely awesome! We got all kinds of great things that we really need for the baby. The shower was very nice, we played a few games and had the most wonderful food. It was really great to get to see all of my friends and family in one place! As you can see from the picture we did get a lot of things, it was really hard to make it all fit into one picture! :)

Joe started basketball today with a 5:50 A.M. practice!! He wasn't real exicted about getting up that early but he is excited about the season!
I have another appointment on Wednesday and hopefully they will schedule an ultrasound to find out about that low lying placenta for sometime in the very near future.
We bought a mini van last week. It is a silver Toyota Sienna 2005 Limited. It is awesome, I'm still trying to figure out all of the amazing things it can do! I thought I would really miss my Camry, but I think this van is going to be just as enjoyable!

Welcome to our first blog! We're new at this and we're trying to get it right. We thought it would be nice to have a place for friends and family to go to keep track of our pregnancy and what is going on here in northern Iowa.
School has been going quickly so far, especially with the football season winding down. Joe was the assistant football coach here in Tripoli this fall which kept our nights fairly busy. He is enjoying his break between seasons as basketball will start on November 17th!
Everything is good with the baby right now. My next appointment is November 19th and we will schedule our next ultrasound then as well. I'm looking forward to seeing the little guy again!! I'm also looking forward to my baby shower on the 15th that my aunts are having in Ottumwa. It will be great to get to see everyone in one place and celebrate!
I plan on adding to this blog often and I hope to keep you all well updated on the pregnancy and other happenings here in Tripoli.
