Week 20 - Baby bump

Week 19

We had our 19 3/7 week appointment on October 6th. We are happy to report all things looked great on the ultrasound! And...we are having a boy! We are so excited and had to share the news right away with our mothers at the hospital. They were surprised to open their blue cards and so happy! During this appointment, the baby weighed right around 12 oz. The ultrasound tech said the baby was about the size of a pop can. He was a real performer as well. He barely stopped flipping around to get the measurements. He even mooned the tech during her measurements! Sounds like we might have our hands full! :)

Week 18 (last week)

Head to rump, the baby is about 5 1/2 inches long and weighs almost 7 ounces. It has been busy moving around and I have started to feel little fluttery movements every day, especially if there is music around or lots of people talking. I think we either have a dancer on our hands or a very social butterfly. Only one more week until our next midwife appointment! Can't wait!

Happy Anniversary + a few weeks

We recently celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary on September 12. We were so busy that weekend with working (me) and the Iowa State/Iowa football game (Iowa wins again!) that we decided not to celebrate until Monday evening. We went to a new restaurant in town called the Chef's Kitchen. It is a very nice French restaurant and it...was...AMAZING! We even got mini chocolate chip cookies for our second dessert...mmm...my fav!

Waiting at home for us was our top tier from our wedding cake (actually a remake of our top tier). What a better way to celebrate your one year than with 3 desserts and a good cake-in-the-face smashing! Sorry, I forgot to take pics of that one.

We have had a great and busy first year of marriage and can't wait to see what this next year brings... Maybe another trip to Hawaii... :)
