HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY!!

Today is my wonderful husband's birthday. We celebrated by staying in and cooking a nice steak dinner (we are preparing ourselves for parenthood!!). Our neighbors came over and enjoyed some ice cream cake with us.

Oh, and update on baby that I forgot - I am consistently feeling him or her move this week - what a reassuring feeling!!! It sure took long enough!

Pics and Baby Quinn Update

Finally I look pregnant (and not like I've been spending a lot of time at the bar) to strangers!!! I was in Target the other day and the checkout lady asked me if I knew what I was having. We ended up having a five minute conversation about pregnancy and babies, etc. My family has been telling me that I "popped" about 2 weeks or so ago, but it's nice to know that strangers can now tell! I think that is one of the most frustrating things about pregnancy when your regular clothes stop fitting and the maternity clothes are a little too big and you just don't look pregnant yet.

Well, we are over the 5 month mark so we were able to give a huge sigh of relief especially after having our anatomy ultrasound this past Friday. The baby looks very healthy and was waving to all of us. It was funny because we had an entourage with us at the doctor's office - me, John, my mom, and both of his parents. What an emotional morning!!! We didn't find out what we were having (as per John's request - this will also give me the upperhand on deciding the boy's name, which we haven't agreed on - hee hee!!)

Here is our little pumpkin waving (it is facing forward with its arm up in the air)!!!!




Here is the side profile of the baby




Anyways, everyone has been bugging me to post pics of my belly so here are some that I took.
