As you can see I am not good at updating...I guess no news is good news :) I am a little over 25 weeks and doing great. I had a doctors appointment last week and things are going well. My weight is good, BP is great, and I am measuring right on track. Last weekend we bought our nursery furniture and stroller/carseat combo. It feels good to finally have some 'big' items!! The furniture should arrive in a few weeks. It gives us some time to decide on bedding and paint the room.
We have another ultrasound scheduled for next month to make sure our little man is growing as he should. I am excited to see him on the big screen again! He has been kicking and moving around a lot lately. Fortunately it hasn't caused a disruption in my sleep...not yet anyways!
Time for breakfast...baby needs food!

23 weeks and counting :)

Today (Jan 15th) is actually our 24th week, but here is a picture of the 23 week tummy. Things are going well. I am feeling fantastic and still keeping my weight pretty low. We started feeling little man move about 3 weeks ago. It is the neatest thing. Jarrod has even been able to feel him. We go in next week for our 6th month check up. I had an ultrasound of my neck to check for the possible goiter, but it came back clear so that is good. Each month I go in and have blood drawn to check my thyroid levels and every month the dose has gone down. At 28 weeks I will go in and have another ultrasound to check and make sure that he is growing as he should be. We are crossing our fingers that my thyroid is not causing any problems.

Our plan for this weekend (a nice long 3 day weekend) is to finalize our nursery selection so we can paint and order some furniture. I am soooooo indecisive and this has got to be the most impossible decision for me to make. We will post pictures as soon as we choose something.

Love this man :) He is going to be the best daddy around...Who's your daddy?!

Jarrod doing what he does best...he always gets volunteered for one of the 'shows'. And this time I didn't volunteer him!!

Finally!

We know, that's what you are saying right now, "Finally they are updating their blog!" We took a bit of a hiatus from blogging, but we are back. We had a great Christmas vacation. We spent December 23rd and 24th with Jarrod's parents in Reno. On Christmas day we boarded a jet and headed to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico to spend 12 days with Amber's family. The weather was great, the food sucked and Amber had a hard time watching everyone else enjoy the delicious margaritas. While we were there we went on a pirate ship/booze cruise (poor Amber) and were fortunate enough to see a mama humback whale and her calf. It was an amazing sight watching the two of them swim alongside our boat. After about 10 minutes of watching the mama came up out of the water and waved her big tail at us. It was almost as if she was saying bye.

New years eve was pretty low key...well for me and my mom anyways :) The two of us were in bed and asleep by 9:00. At 11:45 everyone came back to the room and woke us up to watch the fireworks then it was back to bed by 12:05am. The rest of the crew had a great time until they ended up in a clinic getting stiches for one of the cousins. Did you know you can even negotiate prices in clinics in Mexico?! Ask Jarrod all about it! New Year's day was pretty rough for everyone except mom and I!!

The rest of the trip was laid back. Overall it was a fun trip, but we are certainly glad to be back.
