Cute Baby Items

We wanted to include just a few more pics. While my parents were in town visiting, my Dad bought the baby the bib from the Irish Store at Navy Pier. We both were laughing so much at it that Dad thought the baby just had to have it. So cute!

The onesie is the birthday gift I gave to Kevin in April as my way of telling him "We're having a baby!" He loved it...

Lastly, the baby will be born an Army football fan no matter what. So, what better a gift than an Army hat from our dear friends Jenny & Steve in Houston. Thanks guys..we love it!

Welcome to our blog!

Dear Family & Friends,
We are creating this blog to keep all of you up-to-date as we progress with the pregnancy. We will also post ultrasound pics, belly pics, and once the baby arrives...BABY PICS!!! Since we're getting a late start on this blog, meaning, not starting until we're almost 20 weeks into the pregnancy, we will have to go back a few weeks for the first two entries. Enjoy!

14.5 Week Ultrasound

The pictures to the left are from our 2nd ultrasound which was performed mid-June, 14.5 weeks into the pregnancy. This was our first doctor's appointment in Chicago and the first appointment Kevin and I attended together. At this point, Baby J is healthy and maintaining a healthy heartbeat of 150 beats per minute.

In the top picture Baby J is facing away from us with his back and spine fully visible. In the bottom picture, Baby J is facing forward...you can see his/her legs on the left and face on the right side of the image. During this appointment we also found out that we are scheduled to have another ultrasound, and find out the sex of the baby, on August 5th...we couldn't be more excited for this day to come as it also marks our 3 year wedding anniversary.!!!

7.5 week ultrasound

Here is a picture from our very first ultrasound. At this point, we are only 7.5 weeks into the pregnancy.
