Good Evening and Hello!
It's been quite awhile since our last blog, but we are back and have some exciting updates to share with everyone! We hope that you had a great holiday season and 2010 is off to a great start for you and your loved ones.
Baby Walter is doing great! It's hard to believe that we are 41 short days away from D-Day. We had a doctor's appointment this afternoon and everything is great. Walter weighs almost 5 lbs. now and is the size of a canteloupe! The baby is moving and grooving all around and Brian and I are getting very familiar with how the baby is lying. Walter has been lying head down for quite awhile now, but it's pretty cool that we can now identify when a foot or an elbow shifts! I will really miss being pregnant as it has been a very powerful (and empowering) experience to watch and feel life develop inside of you. The heartrate is in the 150s which is great and at this point in time, the brain and lungs continue to develop and fat is accumulating under the skin. Brian and I both agree that based on our family genes, this is going to be a little chunky monkey :)
We had our first shower this weekend up in Michigan and it was fabulous. We enjoyed spending time with my mom and grandma. Everyone is so excited to meet the little one...Walter is so loved already, it's great! The shower was up at the Voyageur restaurant (where we had our rehersal dinner) and we had about 50 people attend! Mom worked with the lady that made our wedding cake to do cupcakes with animal faces, which were absolutely adorable (I'll be sure to attach pics later) and we had a great time. It was a feeling of deja vu at the shower as 10 short months ago, a lot of the same women that came to the shower were there celebrating our wedding shower! Everyone was very thoughtful and some of the highlights that we loved were the addition of books to Walter's ever expanding library, a hand-knit teddy bear which we named Maynard and a handmade, hand-painted Noah's Ark that was made by a man in Ohio. We're excited for Walter to play with it when he/she is a bit older.
The nursery is thisclose to being finished! We have just a few things left to do--paint lamps and buy lampshades, iron the curtains on the windows and finish covering the pads for the glider. We'll send out pics and then pics of the the final room, which I think will be done within the week!
As for Brian and I, we are doing great! We'll be celebrating my big 3-0 on Friday! My only request was to have ribs!
More updates to come very soon! Take care!
