End of March update

So we are now officially homeowners. We are excited about that.  We won't be moving in until the middle of April though.  Here are some pictures of the house from the inspection.  We'll have a better video or pictures after we move in.

 

In case the video doesn't work, here is a link with pictures:

On the baby front, Jenny has been feeling him move around.  He can't be felt from the outside unfortunately.  He seems to be doing well.  Jenny has been feeling much better these past couple weeks.  Things are looking good overall.

Week 20 - Cantaloupe

Cupcake is as big as a cantaloupe this week.

We're making progress on the house... We are scheduled to close on the 31st of this month so keep your fingers crossed.

Don't forget to post your guesses on little Cupcake's name.

Mango

We're almost half way though... week 19 starts today. C.R.R is about as big as a mango by now. Soccer theme is proving difficult - let us know if you have any ideas on making soccer stuff babyish. (or baby stuff soccerish)

Looks like C.R.R. it will be

We have a couple pieces of news.

We are very close to getting our house.  We are waiting for the paperwork to go through the underwriter (this is where we had trouble last time).  Things look more promising then before so we are optimistic but still hesitant.  Keep those fingers crossed.

We had the official ultrasound and got to see a ton of baby parts (Apparently video taping is illegal).  Most looked like blurs but the tech apparently knew what they were, including a little white spot that is supposed to be the penis.  Yeah!!!  We're glad to know what it is now, no more suspense.

Since it is a boy we aren't keeping the theme down to just one cutesy animal.....  We're going with soccer.  Jenny's working on a registry right now.

Try clicking the images to get them bigger.

There is his foot at the top

I'm guess his back and an arm/hand up top

You can see most of his body

16wk sonogram

Here is some amateur sonography of our baby at 16 weeks.  It's from a blackberry phone so it's kinda small.  Look closely and you can see hands moving around and the baby's body moving.  We have the official check up in a couple weeks.

Avocado Week

BJR or CRR is as big as an avocado this week. He or she should be able to pick up sounds by now. The first sound was very likely the fire alarm going off in the mall yesterday :) Sorry baby!

On a side note

As some of you may know, we have been looking to buy a house.  We tried last spring before the tax credit expired.  That didn't work out well.  We managed to find a home that fit the worst case scenario apparently.  This time we tried to avoid that.  We found a house nearby and put an offer it that looks like it's moving forward.  We don't have a house yet, but we hopefully will have one soon....keep you fingers crossed.

Navel Orange week

As you can tell from the title of the post, mini-Brad/Jenny is about the size of an orange.  Nothing really new going on in the baby front.  Jenny has been feeling better overall.  The frequency of the morning sickness has lessened quite a bit.  Also, food likes and dislikes have started to change some too.

On the non-baby front, we are still waiting on the house, to see if the bank approves the short sale or not.  It is being processed right now so hopefully we find out one way or the other very soon.

February update

Jenny had a visit to the midwife today.  Things are going fine.  The baby has a heartbeat of ~145 beats/min and  is about the size of a lemon right now.  Next month's visit will be about 17-18 weeks so a sonogram should show whether it's a boy or a girl.  That should tell us if we'll have a kid with the initials C.R.R. or B.J.R. (unless we decide differently)

Quick update

Sorry for the delay in getting this out there.  We haven't had this blog as a high priority.  Things seem to be going smoothly now so we'll take time to post things every so often.  We are at 12 weeks so the baby is supposed to be the size of a plum and working it's way to being the size of a peach and eventually a watermelon (The internet has some weird stuff).
