The Big Brother

He'll always be our first baby....

I promise

to be a better blogger. I tried to make up for 7 months tonight. In the future (also known as A.B., After Baby) I will be better with it and anyone who actually bothers to look at this will be sick to death of pics of baby and gear and doggie....

Grown up gear

This lovely new chair is a rocker for me and the baby.

Our old couch was so saggy and pathetic. After a ridiculous experience with my parents visiting and a leaky Aerobed, we purchased this beautiful new couch (with help from said parents).
And now we can entertain in style, or at least in comfort. Really, having a baby and a sturdy pull out is all a ploy to get more visitors...

Baby Gear

My parents got us the Little Red Corvette of Strollers! I am also showing off the first sign of my baby bump. Looking at me sporting a Jayhawk sweatshirt is a little bittersweet today.

We also received a beautiful crib and matching dresser from Mr.'s parents and brother! The nursery is starting to come together.

Now for the Main Event

Of course, the real reason to move was that we are expecting a baby in July!

Here is the confirmation that I was pregnant! Baby is just a little blob... but there was a bright flash of light that was a tiny heartbeat.
Some weeks later, baby has developed into a tadpole.
This is from my last sonogram at 21 weeks. We found out that HE is doing fine, is a boy and supposedly a little big for his age. The doc wasn't alarmed.

Old Kitchen, New Kitchen

I think these pictures say everything....

New address...

I have a lot of affection for our old apartment. It was very cozy (aka tiny) and Mr. and I had become a family there. But our new apartment is all about the next phase of our family.

A really dramatic change for us is the bedroom. In our old apartment, the bed fit wall-to-wall. Now we are more like normal people.

The nursery will have to share space with the office, but that is ok.
