Belly Pics!!!

My Belly- A work in progress




And the most recent one- taken at 29 weeks exactly (3/28/09)

Nursery Stuff!

Well, We bought our nursery furniture!!!

Below- the chair we fell in love with. It is comfy, has high arms, can lock so it doesn't move, reclines (footrest and all), and is a glider. Sue was generous enough to volunteer to buy us the glider as a shower gift!




The nursery furniture- deal of the century. We bought it all for only 300 bucks more than the crib alone usually costs (including delivery and setup!). Ali found us the matching changing table on ebay for only $150- so that is already in house. I can't wait to get it delivered 4/8. Then I will put up nursery pictures




Ultrasound Pictures

The BIG ultrasound- where we found out (unfortunately for me) that our kid has his father's head- BIG :). Everything looked great, see below.

1/29/09 20 weeks, 5 days






NT Scan- the scan for down's syndrome and other genetic disorders. Our little one came back looking great, with a 1/10000 chance of these disorders (you really can't get a better number than that back)
12/4/08 12 weeks, 5 days



10 week ultrasound to check heartrate. Looking Good!!!
11/17/08



1st U/s 10/17/08 5 weeks, 6 days pregnant. Doesn't look like much, but seeing that heartbeat flicker on screen was amazing- especially since we wanted to share the big news the next day.

We're having a baby!!!

We found out we were having a baby on 9/30/08!

Telling Eric- There is a video, but there was some dancing and hip shaking to the tune of "my boys can swim" and I feel as though if I put that on here I maybe murdered in my sleep :). I gave Eric a couple of onesies and a book-






Telling the family.

Before we told- we wanted to be sure things were going to be ok. I may have went a little overboard on pregnancy tests


We told my parents before going out to dinner to celebrate their birthdays. I wrapped up the below photo frame and gave it to them- the frame is followed by the video of them figuring it out :)



Ali, Dave, & Griff found out the same night- we had the restaurant put fortune cookies out. Dave didn't realize it was serious at first- it was pretty funny.







Telling the Meyer side!

We told Jim & Sue & Company at Thanksgiving at our house. Unfortunately there was some technical difficulty, so although I did have the camera going to record the action- I can't put up the video.

And to tell Eric's mom, when we went over for dinner we brought her dessert- I had Whole Foods write Congrats Grandma on the cake. She was on the phone with people within 30 seconds to share the news.
