It's A Boy!

Well it is official, Robert needs to get his coach hat ready. Today we were blessed to not only find out our baby was healthy but he is a boy! But finding this out didn't come so easily, you see even now our child is stubborn (hmm wonder where he gets it from). It not only took two sonograms but some poking by the technician.

You see our child at the time was laying breach and is legs were firmly crossed. But I beleive just so that the technician would stop poking at him and trying to get him to move, he flashed us, just enough to see his little manhood.

Today he weighed 11oz and is 11.8 cm long. Heartbeat is strong and to us he looks awfully cute, even in my tummy.

I really beleive that today I finally saw Robert truly excited and that brought so much joy to my heart, his son!

Now as for a name, we have no idea so we will leave it at ratboy3 (if you don't know the joke, just ask us sometime) until we can agree on something.

I think things happen for a reason and today, on the eve of our 5th Anniversary, we couldn't have recieved a better gift.

Thank you to for all the love, support and well wishes. We truly appreciate it and look forward to a world of blue and sports!

2nd Doctors Visit

Well I know that my 2nd doctor's visit was a week ago today but since then I have been pretty sick. I think I had a combo of the flu and a really bad head cold and as you may know when you have a little peanut there really isn't much you can take.
So I went to the doctor's and think I talked to everyone there about one thing or another. But the most exciting part was hearing my baby's heart beat for the first time, it was awesome to say the least. Amazing to hear and it really made things even more real for me. And let me tell you we have a very strong beating kid!
So all my tests came back normal and all looks well as we move on and wait for the next appt. Until then, not much more to report. Getting closer!

Our First Doctor Visit

So we had our first doctor visit this afternoon and I am so proud of Robert for making it through it without getting completely grossed out!

But back to the subject at hand, the baby is good. Officially I am 6 weeks and 3 days, so the doctor's estimated due date is Aug. 30. They did an ultrasound and we saw our little peanut (well a fuzzy looking thing) for the first time. Heart beat was good and all the insides look fine as well. Funny, I called it our peanut and the nurse said well it is more like a rice crispie, so your call on what you want to call it.

As you can see I posted our first picture and I am sure there will be many more to come. Hope you guys like this blog idea and check in often to see how our family is changing!

Love - Robert & Cathy
