We're Having "A" Baby

Yesterday we were able to see our new baby as it was ultrasound day! Just as we thought, we are not having twins. But male/female we will not know until the delivery. The ultrasound was an amazing experience. Plus we have the video to watch whenever we want. What we couldn’t believe is how much the baby is moving. It was almost nonstop. It even pushed itself into a sitting position (pictured) at one point. The baby also yawned and one time looked like it was waving to us. We could also see its heartbeat. Just really neat stuff. Thanks to Kathy next door for letting us use her scanner.

Chrissy is 20 weeks along in her pregnancy now. That is halfway! The little one is 10 inches long and weighs 11.4 ounces right now. We had a great Easter weekend and a couple pictures of that were added to our 2006 Album. Not too much other news to report right now. Soon we’ll begin to get the baby room painted and ready for the baby.

Baby Furniture

This weekend we were able to get a lot of furniture that will go in our baby’s room. After much shopping around, we took off to Muncie on Friday to get the crib, changing table, and dresser. What we didn’t plan on was strapping the crib to the top of the car and taking back roads home. It was quite an experience! After getting home from that, we found out the Target in Plainfield had the highchair we were looking (and looking, and looking) for so we ventured out and snagged their only one.

About an hour after returning home a decent sized storm rolled through here. All we saw was a lot of lightning and some hail. What we found out later was that a F2 tornado landed about a half mile north of our house and caused some damage, including overturning cars on I-65. We’re thankful to have missed that.

Chrissy seems to be doing great now. She is on week 18 of the pregnancy, so we’re nearing the halfway point already!
