More Ultrasound Pictures

Here are some pictures from our ultrasound on 9/3/08. This was also the same visit we found out we were having a boy.
Is he sucking his thumb in this picture? We hope not. For sure his father, and someday dentist, hopes not!
I love how funny they look at this stage, being mostly skin and bones. Regardless, he is pretty cute!
Is he hiding from the camera? Maybe he will be camera shy like his mom.
This is one of my favorite pictures! We were able to count all 5 of his darling little fingers.
Isn't this one adorable?
I think we got more pictures of his hands than anything else! :)

Now that we know we are having a boy, we need to decide on a name for our little guy. At least, we better have a name picked out before he is blessed. Wish us luck!

The Name Game!

We have decided that choosing a name for our baby boy is a very difficult task. Morgan and I are so stubborn and picky; I think we might not have a name until after our little guy is born.

It is so funny how you never think too far into other peoples kids names, but once you start naming your own children, it seems that you can think of every possible way they could be teased about their name, or if it will sound 'old' or too 'baby'

It's A.....

BOY!

He's Home

Morgan finally made it home. I don't know how he did it so quickly (he left Friday at 7:00 PM and arrived home at 8:00 AM on Sunday morning). All I can say is I'm so glad he is home and that he made it all that way safely!
Thank you Dad for driving with him and helping him make it safely.

Morgan's Almost Home

We moved to Canada at the first of the summer with hopes of 3 months filled with all sorts of adventures together. Well, we were right about the adventures part, not necessarily the together part.

The first of July, I came home for several reasons (one being tied closely to our exciting new development of being pregnant). The reasons aside, we were going to have to be apart for 6 weeks. Any of you couples who have been apart from your spouse for a while knows that it is just not very fun. We tried to talk as often as we could, but seemed to mostly just email. Thanks to Morgan's parents, who have a home phone service that includes Canada, we have been able to keep in touch a little better.

After about 5 weeks of being 'single', my countdown to Morgan's return is now officially at 10 days. I can't wait! Morgan always keeps me laughing (he has some killer jokes that can rival that of my mom's, we call her jokes 'Geri Jokes'). It will be so nice to be together again.

But I can't say that I am not grateful for Morgan's internship. He has had a great summer and has really impressed the company he worked for. He has wonderful new skills and a whole bunch of memories.
I am really so proud of him for working so hard and taking so much initiative, especially as an intern. He really proved himself a good pick for WESA.

Oh, and I am hoping he makes it home in time to celebrate our two year anniversary on August 18. My dad is flying out to drive with him, and the 18th is also my parents anniversary, so I really hope they can make it home since there are two anniversaries to be celebrated on that day!

A Sneak Peek at Our Darling Baby!

I had my first prenatal appointment with the doctor today. I had a hard time picking a doctor, but I am so glad that I went with the one I did, she seems like a wonderful doctor.
I was excited to meet her, but really to tell you the truth, I was a little more excited to be able to see some little snippets of our baby. Our little baby (whom I have been calling 'she' for now, it just feels right, but I have one month until we know for sure), anyway, she was so active. The poor doctor was having a hard time catching a heartbeat or even getting the measurements. It was so neat watching that little baby (and I mean little, only 6-7 cm), flipping backwards, frontwards, upside down, and sideways. She really wasn't going to hold still very long for us. Finally we were able to get a good heartbeat, at least enough for the machine to get an average 'beats per minute' and then we were also successful in catching a pretty good portrait. She may be active, but it looks like she knows when we mean business. :)

Update Mania

I have updated the blog like a madwoman. I had so many photos from our drive and wanted to get them on here. Well, I have finally done it and am proud to say that I am all caught up. I think the posts go back a page or two. Anyway, I will have to be better in the future at putting things up as they happen.

Fourth of July is coming up and we are planning on heading down to my brother Jeff and his wife Emily's house. They have three adorable children. We are so excited and can't wait to see them. It is nice to be able to be this close to them. Hopefully, I will have lots of fun pictures.

As for the the Star Spangled layout of our blog, I was just in a patriotic mood, with the Fourth of July coming up and all. I love America and feel so grateful to be able to be a citizen and partake in the rights and blessings bestowed on our great land and country. We are truly blessed.
