23 weeks

We spent Sunday afternoon at Grandpa's farm in Cumberland. It was good to see family...including my Grandpa's brothers and my Uncle Bob and Aunt Mary, who are officially moved to Arizona now!

This was my first time seeing Erin since I found out they are expecting! It was fun to get some sister photos :)

Erin at 18 weeks and me at 23 weeks:

Erin and Kurt find out if they are

having a boy or girl on Monday!

Gotta get Auntie Molly in a photo!

Since Auntie Hilary is currently in Australia,

we left room to photoshop her into this one! LOL

Baby Gabe is keeping busy lately...he is doing a lot of gymnastics lately and seems to think "kick-mommy-in-the-bladder" is a fun game! Peter felt him kick for the first time last night...what a precious moment. I'm amazed at how we are getting to know our son even before he is born.

Now that we know it's a boy, we've started to buy more baby clothes...we happened upon a 50 % off thrift store sale on Monday and got all this (including the coffee table--which Peter sanded and plans on staining) for...

???guess how much???

...only $8.50!

We are pretty proud of our find! :)

IT'S A BOY!!!

We had our ultrasound on Monday morning! We found out we are having a baby boy!!! Our boy posed for several pictures; I have to scan the rest of them soon! It was amazing to see his little head, fingers, toes, and heart beating. He was opening and closing his little fist, waving "Hi Mom! Hi Dad!" He was also putting his hand in and out of his mouth...looks like we might be having a thumb-sucker! He weighs about 1 pound, 4 ounces right now. What a little miracle!

Though not as much fun to look at as the photo above, here are some 22 week belly pics. I had fun goofing around with my sisters:

21 weeks

This is me at 21 weeks. I really need to take pictures in daylight (or get a better camera!)

Highlights of this past week include:

*feeling the baby move more often

*hearing the baby's heartbeat at my doc appointment on Friday with Grandma Janis and Auntie Molly

*celebrating my first Mother's Day

*thriftsaling for baby clothes

*buying more maternity clothes

*spending Mother's Day with Peter's parents

*putting an offer in on a home (3rd time's a charm, right?)

Peter bought me a "Flip" video camera for Mother's Day...I'm very excited to have it to capture all those baby moments AND it's so tiny, we can bring it along anywhere!

We have our ultrasound scheduled for next Monday morning, so get your final votes in for Boy or Girl! :)

20 weeks

Here I am at 20 weeks. My clothes are getting tighter and tighter! My jeans definitely don't fit anymore, and my dress pants are only going to last another week or 2.

We have our next OB appointment this Friday and then we'll schedule the ultrasound! We are so excited to find out if our baby is a boy or girl. We were looking at baby clothes recently and there are so few "gender-neutral" options.

Peter and I went to our friends' wedding today.

CONGRATULATIONS, Pang and Kong!
