First of Many Pregnant Pics

Sarah is officially showing! Here is a picture of her at the District 112 Teacher of the Year celebration! How exciting for Potsticker to have a mommy who is teacher of the year!

Sarah and I also registered for Potsticker at Target! It was weird to pick out things for an unknown baby...especially when we won't know the gender! Lots of Green!

Sarah and I go in for an ultra sound on Friday and I promise to have some video (Sarah got a flip cam for her birthday!)

16 week appointment

I had my 16 week appointment and everything is great.  Baby's heartbeat is nice and strong. I'm healthy and feeling great. So, all is well.  Travis and I are VERY excited for the 20 week appointment, because then we get to see an ultrasound!

Travis and I are constantly impressed by how generous our friends are! Now we have a cute changing table coming our way. Hand-me-downs are the best!

changes

When it's time to change, then its time to change
Don't fight the tide, come along for the ride, don't you see
When it's time to change, you've got to rearrange
who you are into what you're gonna be.

Travis and I have certainly been experiencing a lot of changes over the last weeks.  We know that this is just the tip of the iceberg!



Boring, boring, boring beige! The 'before' shot of potsticker's room.



Our biggest changes have been in our house. We just finished up a week off of school because of spring break and we were VERY productive with the time we had away from school.  We got new paint and carpeting.  Don't worry...we had the work done by professionals. But it was quite strenuous to let the workers in and out during the day.  We also rented a storage unit and moved the extra furniture and other 'stuff' out of our guest room and garage. We are slowly making room for potsticker.  It's amazing that someone who will weigh 7-8 lbs caused us to move 3 tons of stuff!



The 'after' shot.  New carpet and paint. Even some baby items (thanks to our generous family and friends!)






 

Bun in the Oven

What!? Sarah has something in the oven!


That is right! Sarah is pregnant. We are expecting our first child in September. Mom and "Potsticker" (that is what we are calling "it" in order to avoid calling it "it") are doing well so far. 14 weeks into this pregnancy and we are already beginning to make major changes to our lives, which we will post on this blog!

So happy reading!

12 Week Appointment

Sarah and I had our 12 week check-up and we heard the heart beat for the first time! It was an amazing moment for both of us! One that I will never forget. It was easy to be in denial about having a baby until the doctor sticks a sloppy wet plastic device all over your wife's abdomen and you hear a squishy heartbeat. SO COOL!

So we celebrated by buying a Dairy Queen cake. Don't worry...we didn't eat it all in one night!
