Ultrasound pics...

Here are two new ultrasound pics we had taken Monday... I can't really make sense of them- I guess it's easier to make out features in the earlier ones before baby starts adding muscle and fat mass. In any case it was still fun to see our little boy before he make his grand appearance next month! We have another appointment next week too- we will be sure to post those pics as well- maybe you all can make heads and tails of them (so to speak!)!

More from the showers...

Here are more pics from different showers Rick and I have enjoyed with family and friends... thank you again to everyone for your support and generosity- we are so lucky to have such great friends and family!

Some pics from the Shower!!

Much thanks to everyone!

Rick and I want to sincerely thank everyone for the thoughtful and lovely baby gifts! We had a lot of fun after the shower putting everything together and setting things up in our nursery- it all just looks so perfect! I had time today to wash all the adorable little clothes and blankets and then fold them away neatly in their place (:
We had a wonderful time at the shower- it was great to see everyone and have a chance to catch up with all our friends and family- we are so pleased you could all attend.
Thank you also to Erin, Julie, Jo and Sandy for all their hard work putting everything together- it was all amazing- from the beautiful setting to the fantastic baby cake, delicious food and sweet little peep bears! We are so lucky to have such generous, loving and supportive family and friends!
Thank you all again and we can't wait to share the remainder of our pregnancy and the birth of our baby boy with you all!

Shiba video

This is our first attempt at uploading video... Rick took it the other night when the shibas were in the midst of their nightly play-session. We also posted it on youtube... good practice for baby footage!

Just about 33 weeks!

Here it is folks... 33 weeks-ish and bigger still! We saw the doc today... things are going well. We measured at 33 cm so now we are right on target for one very big baby boy! I've also included a picture of Neko- don't you love that expression?!
We will finish up our child birth class next week and later in February will have a parenting and CPR course. Getting geared up! We are also looking forward to our baby shower this month too! Baby, baby, baby! We are baby crazy around the Rother house-hold these days!

WOW!!! Look at that belly!

Holy cow!!! How much bigger can one belly get?! Don't answer that! Anyway... here I am around 31 weeks. We measured 32 cm at our last doctor appointment yesterday. We are going every two weeks now.
We had our first baby classes this week too. Child birth and nursing. Some useful information and some scary information as well! We also met with our PAT person again this week- she's great! We are always super stoked for this baby when ever she visits. Baby, baby, baby these days!
