Onward We March (At least today since tomorrow is April 1st)

Heather is feeling MUCH better these days! We are enjoying the above average temperatures we have experienced so far this Spring and looking forward to a long, hot summer with Heather having an internal heat generator...should be fun!

We get to have new pictures of the Bun (Tater) on April 19th! We can't wait to see the little Bun again and we will be sure to put the new pictures here on the site as soon as we can.

Speaking of pictures: I am very excited because my wife gave me a super nice camera for my birthday so that I can take lots of pictures of her as she and the baby grow. OK mostly it's because I have really wanted one and so I can take lots of pictures after the baby is born; she is not too keen on the thought of prego pictures of her quite yet! Either way I love it! (and her!)

Still Beating Strong (and moving a lot!)

We had our visit with the doctor today and we heard a good strong heartbeat though the doctor had a difficult time keeping the monitor in the direction of the baby because the old bun was moving around quite a bit! We have got a mover and shaker!

I know we call it the bun but I am starting to lean toward the nickname "tater" for some reason. I guess I am easily amused.

Heather is still feeling pretty rotten but she is toughing through it a day at a time. Eyes on the prize honey, eyes on the prize!!! (Now she will smack me!)

Lack of updates

Sorry about the delay in posts; we have been very busy.

Micaela became a teenager on St. Patrick's Day.

Jackie has had dance competitions the last couple of weekends and they scored superior ratings in each of their 4 dances this past weekend!!! Their dances are sooooo cool. All of the dance teams, including Jackie's, come out all cute and perky so it's fun to see them come out and dance their zombie dance. Here is a shot of them after their Zombie dance....

Both of Heather's parents are in from Germany in a staggered fashion. Katie, John, and Emma came down from Michigan

To top it all off, H hasn't been feeling so hot! Go figure. She gets past 3 months and starts feeling yucky.

We have a doctor visit tomorrow and we learn new things about pregnancy almost everyday. Heather has already read, and I am reading Jenny McCarthy's book titled Belly Laughs and it is funny, straight to the point, and in a style only Jenny McCarthy could produce.

We are taking suggestions for baby names! We have several (thousand) in mind and we have a while to decide but it has been fun thinking about possibilities. Feel free to leave names in the comments as we go along. Maybe I can come up with a voting gizmo to put on the site. I'll look into it!

Thanks for visiting the site and we have appreciated the cards and phone calls!

First Pictures of The Bun!

We had our first ultrasound today and we got to see The Bun! We couldn't take our eyes off of the screen. The baby was moving around a LOT! The feet are about as long as a penny at this stage and total weight is about three ounces. Here are the first pix....
