It's a...(part 2)

Boy! We went back to the doctor last week and we found out Itty Bitty is a boy. The doctor had a clear view of the baby this time. We also got to see a really clear view of his heart and everything seems to be healthy and normal. Anyone want to guess what Patrick's first words were when we found out? "How soon can I take him camping?" Sounds like we have a little boy scout in training.

Folks have been asking about baby bump photos so we finally took one. Here's one taken at 23 weeks. I didn't think the belly was that big until I saw it in the photo.

I call it the birthday baby bump photo because it was taken on Sunday, Feb. 22--my birthday! We'll try to post photos more regularly now. I've been feeling little boy Webb moving just about every day now. Sometimes he can really kick! He seems to respond to sound--like music at church or sound from a movie (or it could just be my imagination). Patrick hasn't been able to feel him kicking yet, but hopefully soon. There's not much warning so it's hard to catch it at the right time.

It's a...

baby! Yes, that's right. We were supposed to find out the sex of the baby today but Itty Bitty had other ideas. S/he was wrapped up in a little ball so the doctor could not tell whether it was a girl or a boy. The umbilical cord was also blocking the view. The good news is that everything else the doctor examined looked normal and right on track. We were able to see the brain, arms, legs, and spine. He said they all looked great. Itty Bitty is about 11 ounces now. He wasn't able to get a good look at all of the heart due to the baby's position so we get to go back in two weeks for another try. So, stay tuned; we may get to find out the sex after all!
In other news, I've been able to feel some small movements from the baby and every once in a while, a little thump. It's so subtle, sometimes it's hard to believe it really happened. Patrick hasn't been able to feel any movement on my belly yet, but hopefully soon!

New Floor!

After several days worth of work and a few sore muscles (Patrick's not mine), our new floor is almost complete. Patrick has been toiling away at this and has made quick work of this job. Here's some pictures of the work in progress:


This is how it started...the carpet gone. Down to plain cement.






Patrick had fun putting these thresholds in :)




And the (almost) finished product. The baseboards still have to go back up.










I think it looks great. Thanks to my wonderful hubby for doing all this work!
