Hi All!

I have combined Rya's blog and Baby Mack's blog into a NEW blog all about life and Mommyhood. Here is the new URL:

I will be deleting this blog in the next couple of weeks.

Have a GREAT day!

Here are a couple of a pics taken at 22 weeks 5 days:

Quick Update

Hello all! Baby boy and I are just chugging along - 4 months to go!! He's moving ALL the time and you can actually see my belly jump now. Roy's been able to feel him quite a few times - he's a strong little booger.

My c-section has been scheduled for Tuesday, May 19th at 7:30am. I have to be at the hospital at 5:30am to get ready and then Little Man will make his entrance into the world. Let's hope I don't go into labor beforehand - I have NO IDEA what will happen then!!

No names at this point - have a couple of ideas but nothing solid. As soon as a decision is made, we'll let you all know.

That's about it as of now. Things are fairly quiet which is a good thing :) Stay tuned as always...

I have BLUE on the brain...

IT'S A BOY!!!

I just returned from the all-telling ultrasound and yes, you read that right. It's a boy!! We're absolutely THRILLED. Rya is going to have a baby brother :)

Our little guy is weighing in at a whopping 10 oz. He has a heart rate of 148 bpm. I'm right on schedule for a due date of 5/25/08 - but because I will be having a scheduled c-section, they will be performing the surgery about a week before. It's currently being scheduled with the hospital, so as soon as they call me with the final date and time I will update you all.

Little man is moving like crazy - never stopping during the entire ultrasound. I'm feeling him move, but it's still pretty light. Other than that - all is perfect. Thank you for all of your prayers. We truly appreciate all of your support :)

Quick Pic update...

Here is the baby bump at 18wks 3 days. I'll post a full blog after the all exciting appointment on Tuesday :)

15 Week Update

Well, I'm 15 weeks 2 days today and yes...I've already got quite a "bump" going on. Take a gander at the newest picture below. YIKES! I'm feeling pretty good, though I still find myself exhausted by the end of the day. I had a doctor's appointment yesterday and everything is going well. Heard a nice strong heartbeat - 146 bpm. The all-telling ultrasound is scheduled for December 30th. Will it be pink or blue...let the bets begin ;) At my next appointment, also on the 30th, I'll be scheduling my c-section. I'm ready to have my date and time set so I can begin to plan for the after effects. My grandparents might be coming into town for a couple of weeks to help us around the house and to help with Rya since I'll have limited mobility and a newborn on my hands.

So, that's it for now. We've been pretty busy with Thanksgiving and preparing for our trip to SC next week. Can't WAIT!! If I don't get on here before, have a VERY Merry Christmas everyone. Enjoy this time with family and friends and be thankful for everything little blessing that comes your way!

2nd Trimester - YAY!

We've made it to the 2nd Trimester - YIPPEE! Here's a new belly shot for you all. Not much going on, so I'm going to go catch some extra zzz's while I can :)
