All Things Baby

Now that we know that we have a little girl on the way, we have been busy making plans for her arrival. We put up new blinds in her nursery and are starting to make plans for paint colors, decorations, etc. We have made several visits to the baby mecca: Babies R Us and have started a baby registry.  Matt was only too happy to be in charge of the scanner gun during our registry visit. We have been slowly adding things to the registry and continue to ask friends for advice on different items to get or stay away from. Thanks for all of your tips! By the way, who knew such a little creature would need so many things? We're going to have to buy a whole new house just to fit all of her stuff! If you want to check out our registries, please click the links below. On a side note, we had our 22 week doctor's appointment today. Mommy and baby are doing well!

Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice!

We had our gender scan ultrasound appointment this afternoon and discovered that we have a precious little girl on the way! So, if you voted for team girl, you were correct! We were able to see every square inch of her growing little body including: her heart, brain, kidneys, lungs, spine, and even the lenses of her eyes. We were so impressed by the detailed ultrasound technology. She was quite an amazing and entertaining sight to see. Plus, she is quite the little wiggler. No wonder I feel little bumps here and there! She did not stop moving the whole time. Needless to say, we are so delighted to have a little girl coming in September and can't wait to meet her!

Show Me the Baby Bump!

So, for those of you who have been requesting baby bump photos, we did a photo shoot just for you in the backyard this afternoon. I am now 18 weeks pregnant. Enjoy!

A Visit to the Doctor's Office

We had our monthly check-up appointment today. I am now 17 weeks pregnant. We had to wait an exceptionally long time to see the doctor. Matt, though, managed to entertain me by playing around with two long cotton swabs and using them as drumsticks on items around the office. To sum up the rest of the appointment, everything looks really good. We listened to the baby's heartbeat for a little bit, and it is nice and strong. Hopefully, I will start to feel the baby moving around in the next few weeks.

We will be finding out the sex of the baby in two weeks! We've got the great gender debate going on at our house. Matt is rooting for team boy, and of course, I'm rooting for team girl. We want to hear your opinions too, so be sure to share your vote with the poll located on the right side of the screen!

Coming Soon: Baby Kemmerle

Hello to all of our friends and family out there! We started this blog to share thoughts and photos of Baby Kemmerle's journey into this great big world. Right now, Baby Kemmerle has been baking in the "oven" for 15 weeks. He/she is getting bigger and bigger (along with Mommy's belly) day by day and is now the size of a naval orange. We are so excited to be welcoming Baby Kemmerle into our family at the end of September and hope you visit our blog often to check in on our growing family!
