Events

Baby girl Metcalfe has been to 3 weddings this year!

This weekend was my cousin David's wedding, where we got to see all the Inigo's!:)

It was much fun, and baby was great - she even fit into a non-maternity dress - which made mommy VERY happy:)

This is me and my cousin Jesse with the baby bump.

This was Dave and I and the mini-bump at a July 4th wedding. (same dress:))

Other than weddings, we have our M'ville Reunion coming up this weekend as well as helping the Hills move into their new house at the end of the month:)

We are also hoping to get more information on the closing of our own place soon - so we will keep you posted as we hear more!! Hope you are all well!

Getting Ready for Baby

We registered at Babies R Us and Walmart - and it was overwhelming to say the least! So many little things to think about and get ready!!

We started researching cribs and furniture for the nursery, but we don't want to order anything until everything is finalized with our Condo so we can have it all sent there and not here.

WE HAVE MOVEMENT!!!!

We started to feel her move. I had been feeling small movements for a few weeks now, but this weekend we were both able to feel and see her moving. It was kinda cool and kinda creppy at the same time. I mean to look at your stomach and see something poking from the inside... CRAZY!

We go back for more ultrasound pics next week and then we have to sign up for our labor and delivery classes.

It's all going very quickly!!!!!

Here she is!

Here she is - it's not very clear but that's her cute little nose and head:)

She's a little shy - and kept putting her hands in her face - she was sucking on her fingers too a little bit during the ultrasound.

We have to go back to get a clearer picture in 2 weeks, but the doctor said that everything looks like it's right on schedule and perfectly healthy!!!

It's a Girl!!!!!!!!!

We went for our 20 week ultrasound today and we have 10 fingers, 10 toes - a beautiful face and lots of healthy looking organs:) And the technician was able to confim that in fact, we are having a little girl!

We couldn't get a good profile shot of her face cause she kept putting her hands in front of it - but we go back in a few weeks so the technician can get some better pics of her face and her heart. (although she said the heart looks very healthy:))

Now we can start having nightmares about puberty, prom and boyfriends!

Maternity clothes shopping was fun until I had to put in the fake belly pillow to simulate how big I would be - it made me sad but it's a necessary evil!:)

Let's hope I don't get this big too soon:)

19 week bump

Here we are at 19 weeks:)
I'm dependent on maternity pants cause my bump makes it so I can't zip normal ones up... baby is making room! Haven't felt it move yet - but that should be soon.

Next week we find out what it is!!! We can't wait!

September 4th

Our 3 year anniversary is the day we find out if it's a boy or a girl and we couldn't ask for a better present!

We are taking the day off, going out to breakfast (one of our favorite dates) and then going to the doctor for the 20 week ultrasound!

So far the doctor says we are healthy and growing on schedule. They took some more blood last visit and I have one more blood test for gestational diabetes that will be done later, and then we are all done with the testing.

4 weeks until we know whether it's a mini me or a mini dave!

We will start scoping out furniture and baby essentials soon. We have already started cleanting up around the apartment to try to make some space for baby this weekend and will figure out what changes we should make to the office to make it into a nursery.

Hope you're all doing well and that we get to see you soon!

Cravings!!!

Cereal! It's one of the things that I can always eat - no matter how I'm feeling.

I sort of went on a cereal binge early on in the pregnancy and bought all kinds of cereal cause I thought I needed it:)

Lately, my heart belongs to Rice Krispies, and I enjoy it when I'm hungry but not really interested in food!

I haven't really had too many other cravings - it's more like I know exactly what foods I don't want to eat - but have a hard time thinking of things that I do want to eat. Certain foods make me feel nauseous - but luckily it's manageable and I don't suffer from morning sickness!:)

Poor Dave has to put up with the chances that he might make me dinner that sounded good before we cooked it, but once it's made... makes me queasy - He's been such a great sport and always offers to get me some cereal instead:)

Here is our little bump at 15 weeks. I really had to push it out so you could see it! Although I'm anxious to start actually showing - I will enjoy the fact that I am still in my regular clothes for the most part - for as long as I can!!!

Have a great weekend!
