BABY A'S MOVIN!

We had a doctor's appointment this week and unfortunately, Andrew couldn't be there. So our midwife had me give Andrew a surprise phone call so that he could hear our baby's heartbeat. He said that it was coming in loud and clear on his end at a whopping 140 beats per minute- I think that he enjoyed the surprise!:)

Later that evening, I felt Baby A move for the first time! And it seems that within the last couple of days that I have felt the baby most in the mornings and evenings. It is such an amazing feeling and we feel so very blessed. Our midwife said that near the end of this month, my belly should be popping out more...so stay tuned for our 6 month picture and we'll see!

OUR 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY :)

We celebrated our 2 year anniversary this last Tuesday. Andrew surprised me with a huge bouquet of red roses~ I felt so spoiled! We felt very lucky this weekend that we had a chance to go out on a date and eat at our favorite Italian restaurant and watch a movie together. We were hoping to spend a weekend away for our anniversary before the baby comes, but with how busy our lives have been and will be for the next few months, we are thinking that won't pan out for a while. So we felt pretty spoiled to have an evening away together. My brother took a couple pictures of us to put in our anniversary album and we tried to get Timber in them with us- but we only got one shot with her- I think the sun was just too bright!

THANKS GRANDMA & GRANDPA!

Boy, oh boy is this baby going to be spoiled! Grandma & Grandpa Aasen are busy helping us fill up Baby Aasen's closet and dresser. We feel so very blessed to have so much love, support and of course, excitement coming from both of our families. Thanks again, Grandma & Grandpa Aasen~ we love you!

WEEK 10 ULTRASOUND CONTINUED......

We've been having a heck of a time trying to scan this ultrasound picture onto the computer for all of you to view...but this dang scanner isn't working right- OR, maybe its the operator. I'm going to stick with the scanner. :) So we finally just took a picture of the week 10 ultrasound- we figure better late than never to post it! We go to the doctor for our next ultrasound near the end of October (between week 24 & 25) and we will be bringing home a DVD recording that we would like to post for all to view. So look forward to seeing that near the end of October or early November. At that appointment, we will have the option of finding out if our baby should come out wearing pink or blue- but again, to some people's disappointment, we are going to leave that as a surprise for all. Andrew says that there aren't many surprises in life, so we might as well let this one be! I think that I can agree with that philosophy. :)

WEEK 19 PHOTO

Yes, we are finally getting around to posting another picture...we've been getting complaints that we haven't been updating our blog quite enough (thanks for staying on top of us, Mindy:)). We didn't end up getting a 4 month photo because life has been pretty crazy for us lately with work, weddings and of course, baby planning! We are about 5 months along now and we are getting mixed reviews...some are saying that there is quite a bump and others can't seem to tell at all- so we'll let you be the judge!
