Oh BOY!!!

We are so excited that we are having a little BOY!!!  I'm closer to 24 weeks now but here are my 20 week ultrasound pictures.  It was so nice to hear that everything is growing right on target and that our little boy looks really healthy!  Baby Bybee is a very active little boy and we are excited to have now passed the halfway mark! 

Not Much Going on Here

Thanks for all the comments and advice everyone!  I've since done a great deal of researching, reading reviews, and asking family and friends A LOAD of questions about baby gear.  I'm still teetering between the Graco car seat or the Chicco.  I have read/heard a lot of pros and cons to each.  If anyone has an opinion or information on these two brands let me know.  I'm leaning more towards the Chicco, but there are still some features about the Graco I wish the Chicco possessed...maybe I should go into the car seat business and create my own, lol.  Thanks again everyone and have a great week! 

16 Weeks!

Well, I am 16 weeks and 4 days now.  We had an appointment this last week and got to listen to our baby's heart beat.  It was strong and healthy!  The count down is on, we find out on September 17th what we are having.  We can't wait!  Here is my 16 week belly picture.  For those who commented on my last photo don't be fooled...I have gained a good 10-15 pounds already and have to wear maternity pants because I can't get any of mine on!

I'm trying to pick out a stroller and crib for the baby but can't make up my mind.  Colors, brands, styles...it all starts making my head spin.  If you have any advice please send it my way!

On another note, Chris is starting his MBA on Tuesday which means our house remodel is going to be at a stand still.  Our last project was putting in the kitchen floor so our floors were 100% complete before I have the baby.  Before and afters won't be for a long time but here is a picture of our beautiful new kitchen floor!

Guess What.........

WE'RE PREGNANT!!!

8 weeks

12 weeks, waving hi!

12 weeks, right as my ob started the ultra sound the baby put it's hands up by it's ears.  So cute but looks a little alien like.  The baby has a great heart beat and was moving around like crazy.

Chris had flowers delivered to my work on our 12 week mark.  12 roses for 12 weeks and 3 gerber daisies for 3 months, what a cute husband.

This could be scary but I decided it would be fun to do belly pictures, so here I am at 12 weeks.

I have been so sick and Chris has been the biggest help.  We are so excited for this adventure and CANNOT wait to meet our little one.  I'm due February 9, 2011 which seems far away, but I'm sure it will be here before we know it.  We find out in about 7 weeks whether it is a boy or girl.

As a side note the twins were born this morning and are doing great. Mason Nicolas Carpenter is 4 lbs 13 oz and 18 in long, Davis Martin Carpenter is 5 lbs 8 oz and 18 in long. We are so excited to go meet them and will have pictures to post later.

Wanda's Funeral

Chris' grandma passed away July 17th from old age.  She is now reunited with her husband Jesse, who passed on a few years ago.  It was a beautiful ceremony and we will miss her dearly. 

Kathy, Heidi, Casey, Taylor, Chris, Me, Braden, Nicole (34 weeks pregnant with twins), Marty, Katelyn, Cameron, and Alan, Maddi was hanging out over in the shade. 

 

Wanda with Alan, Chris' dad. Chris looks just like his dad!

4th Of July Derby

For the 4th of July we went the the ReAL game and fireworks on friday, the derby and fireworks on Saturday and then up to my parents house on Sunday for a BBQ. Chris' dad got us all VIP passes so we had great parking, great comfy seats, and even got some free dinner. Thanks Alan!

 

Maddi really enjoyed the derby ;)
