21 1/2 weeks!!!!
















21 1/2 WEEKS!

Mandy is now 21 weeks in and the little guy is getting bigger and bigger. He is active too, especially after she eats pizza… unlike his father, who generally falls asleep after eating pizza. Last Sunday we spent a good portion of the day walking around Babies R Us with a gun. (The registry kind of gun) We pointed and clicked at a whole bunch of stuff that we will need for the little one. Who knew there were so many different kinds of pacifiers? There was nowhere I would have rather been, especially not sitting at home with a cold beer watching the Packers whip up on the Cowboys… Needless to say, I wasn’t much help and ended up sitting in one of the rocker / nursing chairs and pouted while Mandy did most of the work. I know, I’m quite a catch and she is a lucky lady!
We also have picked out a bunch of baby furniture and other stuff as well. (In the coming months, I will be selling one of my kidneys and donating plasma twice a week) Now that soccer season is over we are going to start putting the room together and are excited to finally get to that project. Next week we are heading north to Detroit for Thanksgiving. Look for us in the end zone of Ford Field at the Packers / Lions game! I will be the one with the big foam cheesehead on and sitting next to the pretty fat girl.

IT'S A BOY






It’s been a while since we have posted, but we wanted to have some BIG news to share first and I think that this qualifies: WE ARE HAVING A BOY!!! We are sooooo excited to share this news with our friends and family. We have had a few OBGYN appointments since our last posts, and we can report that Mom is doing fine- she has gained some weight but doesn’t really have an appetite for most things- we have certainly explored most of the restaurants in town though…
At our “find out the sex” appointment the other day, our ultrasound technician was having a little fun with us and saving the best for last. We saw a lot of good looks at his hands, face, he “waved” at us and then it was time for the moment of truth. As she panned down to the lower extremities I was sure I saw a sign of the telltale manhood. I didn’t want to say anything because I didn’t really know, but then she blurted out “Well, it’s a boy!” Once you see the “money shot” there is no mistaking it. Right now Mandy is halfway through the pregnancy- hard to believe. Now it’s time to start thinking of names and get everything prepared for the little guy! Life is good!!
