Greg's Baby Things

Greg's folks came down to visit this past Saturday. They brought a box of Greg's baby stuff, which I thought was really neat. So what kind of stuff was it? Well...

• Greg's baby shoes (so cute!)
• The mobile he used (New Zoo Revue)
• A blanket that Greg's grandma knit for him
• Greg's favorite stuffed animal (it's a duck or chicken)
• The baby gown he came home in (at least, I think he came home in it)
• His baby book (turns out Greg was 8+lbs)
• A plate with his name on it (his brothers also had a plate with their names on it)
• Mickey Mouse spoon and Donald Duck fork
• And a ton of cards (birthday, Easter, Christmas, etc.) he got over the years

I think it's really neat that his parents saved all his childhood things and gave it to him now that we're expecting Baby Boy Tai.

Half-way there!

Today, I'm officially half-way through the pregnancy! Woohoo!

We went to the doctor's yesterday for our monthly check up. Heard the baby's heartbeat again, which is really cool. Everything's looking okay. Knock wood that it continues that way. So far, I've gained 20 lbs. With another 20 weeks to go, I'm not sure I can keep my weight gain to 10 lbs. My doctor doesn't want me to gain more than 30 lbs total. Oh well, I'll do my best.

An Exciting New Chapter

We've got some exciting news to share. We're expecting a baby at the end of March! A boy! We're thrilled and looking forward the adventures of parenthood. You can get Baby Boy Tai's perspective by visiting his blog. I'll be blogging about the pregnancy from my prespective (and occasionally, Greg's).

I'm officially 19 weeks and 2 days along. I'm definitely showing too! The first trimester was a combination of happiness, worried-ness, tired-ness and feeling nausated. Luckily, I didn't experience morning sickness, although I came close a couple of times. I'm happy that we're past the first trimester. My energy level and appetite have come back. For exercise, I'm playing volleyball and running. Just kidding! I'm swimming and walking. :)
