It's a GIRL!!!

We went for our second sonogram December 19th. They took all kinds of measurements and we have a healthy baby girl. We are so excited! We are probably going to paint the baby room green. I haven't found a crib set that I like yet, but I am sure I will soon. I will post pictures when I do find it.

I have posted a Video of the sonogram. They will put your sonogram on a DVD if you provide one to record the sonogram. We thought that was really cool. And you can watch the baby move around. It is kind a large so you may have to wait for it to load. It doesn't have any audio, but the sonographer makes notes on the screen that tell you what you are looking at.

Dr. Appointment

I went to the Doctor December 5th, and the baby's heartbeat was good and strong. I am doing good, I am about finished with this semester, I have one more final and then Mom and I are going to get started cleaning out the baby's room. We are going to get it ready for John to paint because I go back to the doctor December 19 for our next sonogram! Yes - this is the one we have been waiting for! If Baby cooperates we will find out if we are having a boy or a girl! We are so excited!

1st Sonogram

Sorry I haven't updated in a while been really busy with school and work. This is our first sonogram. The baby just looks like a peanut a this point so that is what we have been calling the baby. This sonogram was done at our first prenatal exam and it dated the baby to be 7 weeks and four days.

Our next appointment is December 5th and I will be 15 weeks then. This is when they suggest doing any genetic testing, but we are not doing any of that. She will probably just listen to the baby with the dopplar and ask if I have been okay.

The week of Christmas I will be 18 weeks and we can find out the sex of the baby! John is going to this visit with me and we can not wait to find out! We will share that new with you all when we get it!

Love everyone,

Lauren & John

Madden is so excited about his new baby brother or sister! He is going to be a good protector for the little one!

We are Expecting!

Finally, after years of everyone asking. We are having a baby! How exciting. Yes, I am still in school, and I am going to finish. I should graduate about 3 weeks before the baby gets here. That was cutting it close wasn't it!

We really didn't think it was going to happen that fast. We got lucky on our first try. We are so excited.

We will post updated information as soon as we get it!
