Week 24.... and Connor's new ride

We have officially hit Week 24. The main milestone at this week is that Connor's face is now fully formed and developed and from this week forward he will average gaining 1/2 pound per week.

Our newest addition is Connor's new ride.... some pictures are below.

Me and the Summer Version

The Winter Version

It even comes with a rain cover.....

We couldn't be more excited to take him on walks once he arrives :)



Josh got to see and feel Connor

Tonight was a very exciting night for us.... Josh returned from his snowboarding trip to Breckenridge and Vail and upon his arrival home Connor decided to be an active little guy. Josh got to feel him kick and then was able to watch my stomach and see him moving around.... it was so neat. I am glad he can now see this as it makes the experience and the pregnancy much more real for him. Much more to come....

Happy St. Patrick's Day... and 23 Weeks

Hopefully everyone had a GREAT St. Patrick's Day.... and got to drink lots of green beer. I went to Cincinnati to celebrate Lauren's 30th Birthday (minus the green beer for me). I had a great time celebrating and hanging out with friends. Below is a picture that was taken of me yesterday, one day shy of 23 weeks. As you can see, Connor is definately growing and so I am.... but it is so very neat and amazing everyday!

Some amazing stuff that has happened this week is that I feel Connor moving/kicking/punching every day. Today I began to be able to see my stomach move when he moves which is very surreal. I go back for my next doctor's appointment tomorrow and cannot wait to hear little man's heartbeat, it still amazes me everytime!

Week 21....

We have entered Week 21 which is very exciting... now the number of weeks left is less than the number I have been pregnant.

The major significant milestone that took place this past week is that I have been feeling Connor move. It is a very strange but amazing feeling and I look forward to it occuring more and more over the coming months. I also cannot wait until his movement is strong enough for Josh to feel.

Josh and I began cleaning out the room that will be used as the nursery this weekend. It is surreal that we now call it "Connor's room" rather than the guest room. It's amazing to open the closet doors and see all the adorable little boy clothes that are hanging up, I cannot even imagine what he is going to look like wearing them.
