20 weeks 6 days, Finished Crib and Awards!

The baby is definitely more active everyday, and the movements have become much more noticeable. Moxy is finding the space on my lap is getting smaller and smaller everyday!

Over the weekend we cleaned out our front bedroom to make room for the baby. This made Avery quite nervous, moving all the furniture, packing etc. She seems to have adjusted now to the change. On Monday night Charlie completed the crib and we set it up. He did a great job! It looks amazing and we can't wait to have a baby to put in it. He is working on the dresser now.





Last, since I know Charlie probably won't say anything about this, I thought I should. From the first quarter of the year Charlie won two awards for his classroom instruction. He was awarded the Company Grade Officer of the Quarter for both his squadron(29th Student Squadron) and for ASBC (Air and Space Basic Course) all instructors. Good Job Charlie!

20 week ultrasound

We had our 20 week ultrasound yesterday. Everything looked great and the baby was very active-opening and closing it's mouth and doing fake breathing movements! If you double click the picture it will make it larger.

18 weeks 4 days & Crib Progress

There is definitely more of a bump now, then just a couple weeks ago. I am feeling the baby move quite frequently now!

These are the boards the slats will go into...
All the slats...
Both stacks of wood... We have also started looking at dressers for the baby's room, that will be Charlie's next project!

Baby Bump 16 weeks 4 days

The first of the "baby bump" pictures. From now on our Sunday night ritual will be taking the photo with me standing next to our refrigerator in the kitchen. I am feeling much better these days and I think I actually felt the baby move for the first time on Friday night. I have another ultrasound in 3 weeks.

Crib in Progress

Charlie has been hard at work these days making the baby crib. Of course it required a few new additions to his workshop! Stay tune for progress...

Emily's Baby Shower

A few pictures from Emily's baby shower I hosted last Sunday. A funny story...Paul and Emily do not have a name picked out for their little boy due in April, so I just call him "Baby Julian"-Julian being their last name. So I get the little banner up and our neighbor across the street calls and say oh congratulations, when is the baby due again, etc. I am thinking to myself this is kind of odd, and then she says I just love the name Julian, how did you decide on that name? I start laughing and have to explain to her it is not our baby's name, but a friend's last name!
Baby Julian's Gift
The cupcake's I made for the shower, "Welcome Baby Boy Julian"

Charlie's Birthday

A few snapshots from Charlie's 31st Birthday! Charlie requested cherry crisp for his Birthday-so that is what he got! I got him concert tickets to Spoon, which we are going to see this Friday night in Birmingham!
