Baby Lessen!

J and I had our 20 week ultra sound this week!  As many of you know, we don't want to know the sex of the baby...but man, it is getting tough!  J told the UltraSound Tech in the very beginning...no matter what she (being me) says, we DO NOT want to know.  He knows me so well, I definitely had a few moments of weakness during the appointment.  The Tech even offered to write it down and mail it to my best friend, which was a little far - but I appreciated her enthusiasm. 

Baby Lessen is very healthy; all fingers, toes and limbs.

Anyway, the pictures aren't very clear... apparently we have a mover and shaker on our hands :) 

 

Here they are!

Baby Gear Fairy Dude

J and I are really lucky to have such good friends!  An Army buddy, Baby Gear Fairy Dude, of J's drove down from Virginia this week and brought us a CRIB, SWING and CARRIER.  All gender neutral and in excellent condition.  

We can't thank y'all enough & we will see you in a few weeks for the girls birthday party :)

Heart Beat Central!

Well, we had our first MidWife appointment,@ Durham Women's Clinic, on September 5.  It was emotionally intense and information overload!  Started with the new usual; peeing in cups, blood pressure, WEIGHING (I stood on the scale backwards), and health interrogation.

And then something magical happened.  We were walked into an ultrasound room!!  Of course, she made sure all of my 'bits and pieces' were good to go - then showed us our little nugget!!  I mouth fell open and I gasped.  J just smiled and squeezed my hand.

And it got better, much better.  She turned on the speakers and let us hear the heart beat!  Tears were streaming down my face, it was the most powerful sound I have ever heard...

Ms. MidWife let us know that we were 10 weeks and 3 days long, and our due date is 3/31/13 - Easter Sunday.  Amazing.

Adventure #1: Floyd Fest, VIP style!!

So, the same week we found out we were having a Little Lessen, we got VIP tickets to Floyd Fest!! It was amazing. I took lots of caution; drank at least 80 oz of water, ate balanced meals, napped often and hung out in the shade. It was our 'nuggets' first music festival, how exciting!!!! J & I had a blast, we only took a few pictures...

And, here is a video of me dancing on stage with MICHAEL FRANTI!!! I am the one dancing in the long dress and pink sweatshirt! I love his music. :)
