133 Days to go

    


     Yesterday morning Hilarys doctor appointment varified what over half of you already knew. We got into the cool dark room and they applied the gel to Hilarys stomach area and we began to look at the baby on the computer screen. One of the first things we noticed was the baby was sucking its thumb and with Hilary working in a dental office this will be something we know we have to cut out. As a joke I said get your thumb out of your mouth and as if the baby heard me the thumb came out. It was great. With a little more watching  and waiting on the doctor to take measurements without saying the doctor went down to the lower region and I could tell we had ourselves a BOY.  Secretly I was elated and screaming in my head. About 5 minutes later the doctor says well " ITS A BOY." and varified what I thought we had seen.
   So without any further waiting its time to come up with some names. We have several different names we are considering but we are just waiting on the perfect one to come along. We arent sure if we are going to do a family name, common name or an out of the ordinary name. I think this will be the most debated thing we deal with until the baby gets here. So wish us luck because I get the feeling we will need it.

Kicking and Screaming

    



     Well this past Saturday (yesterday) was our annual camping trip. While I was out Hilary said she had her first few feelings of the baby kicking. Just more signs this is becoming more real day by day. There are only 5 more days until we find out the sex of the baby. There are alot of people guessing and the majority of the guesses are BOY. Hilary has also reported feeling "gassy", which we are told that is a sign that the baby will have a full head of hair I guess only time will tell on that. So get in your last minute votes in and we will reveal the results this Friday.
     On a side note Roxy has been showing huge signs of improving. She has been up and playing almost everyday. Today she decided she would do like most girls and let Murphy win in the little game they were playing. So things look to be on the up and up with her and we are looking forward to having her around for years to come.
