Merry Christmas

Bo's new favorite place to sit. We're just glad he has no interest in the lights!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

almost to the 3rd trimester

In a couple of days we'll be entering the 3rd trimester. Hard to believe! I'm feeling really good now. Morning sickness is a thing of the past and I'm back to my old self (only bigger). Just this week, however, I'm starting to discover the "uncomfortable" side effects of pregnancy....(i.e. hard to tie my shoes, hard to get in and out of bed, sore feet, aches and pains). It's amazing how quickly things with your body can change week to week when your pregnant!

We had our first baby shower last weekend. A big thanks to my sisters and mom for hosting it. The shower was wonderful! It was nice to see everyone so close to the holidays. Thank you to all our friends and family for the warmest welcoming of Baby Meek.

Baby's Room

We are moving forward on the baby's room. We picked out a white crib, white dresser and light brown glider/rocking chair today. With a delivery time of 8-10 weeks, there wasn't much time left to spare. We've also decided on the baby bedding as well. A picture of the bedding is attached. We aren't getting all the accessories, but at least this gives you the general idea. Hopefully the nursery will be put together and ready to welcome the baby by the end of February. Be sure to check back in a couple of months to see the final results.

Meek Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving with Kyle's family in Evansville. The time was spent eating, watching movies and lots of play time with our nephew Aidan.

Watch Out - Kicking Baby

I started to feel the baby move a couple of weeks ago, but it wasn't until last week that the movements became consistent. The movements are strong enough now to feel on a daily basis. The baby is most active while I'm trying to fall asleep at night. Perhaps that's the baby's way of training me for the lack of sleep I'll get once he/she is actually born. A few days ago Kyle felt the baby for the first time. He had his head on my belly just to see if there was a chance he could hear the heartbeat. Instead of hearing anything, the baby kicked him square in the face. Although we were quite excited Kyle felt the baby move, we couldn't help laugh at the fact that Kyle unborn child actually kicked him in the face. Classic!

Warm Wishes

Happy Thanksgiving

from Bo and Nina!

Baby's First Picture

We had our 21 week ultrasound yesterday. Everything looks really good at this point. We saw two arms that the baby liked to move towards his/her face consistently during the ultrasound and we saw two legs that are apparently tucked right below my rib cage. We could see the eyes, nose and mouth. The technician pointed out the 4 chambers of the heart, kidneys, bladder and umbilical cord. Per our request we did not see the sex of the baby. Only 18 weeks until we'll know for sure!
