I haven't updated our blog in ages. I just feel that I have nothing to Blog about, but everyone wants to hear about our pregnancy. I don't want to be one of those people who can only talks about being pregnant, but I will give a little update.
Today we are 17 weeks a long. Time flies. Last Tuesday, May 13 I actually felt the baby move/kick. I was at work and I felt this little pinch on my left side. It was really exciting to finally feel the little life inside of me. Wednesday we got a call from the Doctor and my blood test result came back negative. There are no signs of any Chromosome abnormalities and everything looks perfect. Dan and I are reading the book, What to Expect when you are Expecting and we realized that I am having a very normal pregnancy, which we are very thankful for. I am very fortunate in that I haven't been too sick and now I am in the 2nd trimester, so things will only get better (at least this is what everyone tells me). Saturday we painted the nursery. Okay, I didn't paint; Dan, my mom and her friend John painted, but I was a great supervisor. We painted the nursery a very neutral color, a light taupe. I LOVE it and am excited to accent with either pinks or blues. We hope to find out the sex of the baby in early June. Dan and I both feel that we are having a boy, but we would be happy with either. Dan REALLY wants a boy!!! I think all men do? It has also been fun picking out names.
Painting the nursery was very fun and exciting and it finally hit me that we are having a BABY!!! I am so excited, but also nervous to become a mom. I know that Dan will be a wonderful father, since he is already the favorite uncle. I am nervous to give a newborn a bath, cutting their little fingernails, and just the simple/little everyday tasks. I am so grateful that my mom is close to call on. She has done so much for Dan and I already; I only hope I will be as good as a mom as she has been to me. Thanks mom and we love you. You are going to be a grandma!!!
Saturday night we booked a flight to California. We want to go to the beach, Universal Studios, and bask in the sun. We are both looking forward to a vacation, since it will probably be the last without a little one =).
Any bets on whether its a boy or a girl? Dan has a bet going with Nancy (Patrice's step-mom) of five bucks that its going to be a boy.

Be careful, I thought I had mother's intuition and were having a boy for our first. Obviously, I was dead wrong! Charles was also very surprised that we were having a girl. So you never know... I think mother's intuition is a bunch of $%£@!
I'm guessing a boy...
Hope you have fun in California, that sounds like so much fun!!
When I was pregnant with Kelli I had an ultrasound and the doctor told me that she was a boy. After having two girls we were very excited! When she was born Ray looked at the doctor and said, "I thought you told us we were having a boy?" The doctor told Ray that an ultrasound is only 80% right and sometimes they get it wrong! Of course we would never trade any of our beautiful girls for a boy but Ray was sure happy to get some grandsons - in fact now the boys in our family outnumber the girls! Each little one is such an amazing blessing and they have such a great spirit. I'm sure that your baby will be beautiful and healthy and that is the most important thing! What a great adventure awaits you!
Love ya,

Mothers intuition was right for me. I am 2 for 2.
but I have to say, I think that you are having a girl.... just to rock the boat.
You will be a great mom & those things (nails & baths) you just do them & everything turns out OK.
You will be a great Mom!!! Remember Em and I will babysit anytime! Can you take Emily with you on your trip so she will leave me alone!!!!
Jordan and I were dead sure that Reiny was a boy...wrong! So I think you're having a girl, but I hope it's a boy. I think that it would be fun to set our kids up on a date when they're older! Good luck, and have fun in CA!
It's okay to be one of those people who talk about their pregnancies, it is an exciting thing!! Especially your first!!
Oh, and I thought I was having a girl everytime-I do not have good intuition I guess!!
