Baby Showers...

Two showers down and 1 to go! The first one was at school. The Kindergarten team plus Kelly (PACE teacher) did an awesome job! Everyone had a great time and we are so thankful for the awesome gifts we received.

This past Sunday was a friends and family shower. Brooke, Barbara, and Angela did a FABULOUS job hosting!!! Oh man...it was beautiful.

The tables had an awesome setting!

The gift and cake table.

The cake was super YUMMY!

Brooke did a great job on the diaper cake!

Then, on Thursday Ro's work is hosting a shower. Just a great excuse for me to take the day off, have a few munchies, and rest!

After these showers...there is one thing I know for sure! This little girl will not have to wear the same outfit for at least 2 months! :)

Week 30...

We had another doctor's appointment yesterday. Everything checked out great! Baby Murthy's heartbeat was 147 beats per minute! After waiting and waiting and waiting for the doctor (we wait 1 1/2 hours) she finally came in and said the least she could do was take us in to play on the sono machine. Since we did not expect the sono for another couple of weeks, it was worth the wait! Here are a few pictures...

The doctor got a great picture proving she is a girl. Here is her scary, but cute face. (Looking straight on, with her hand in front of her left eye.) Her nose looks a lot like her daddy's, but the doctor assured us that it is a little magnified with all of the water and liquid. :)

As the doctor was fishing around trying to get a good picture, she mentioned that the baby has a little bit of attitude. Hmmmmmmmmm....where could she get that from???

The Belly at Week 29...

Here is Kelli's first belly picture.

We will try to continue posting belly pics as the baby grows. :)

Week 1 - 29...

Well...we are a little late getting started on the blog, but we can fill you in! Around Thanksgiving we used 2 at home pregnancy tests and each said "positive." We estimated about 6 weeks, so we went to the doctor to confirm. December 11th we saw our little bean dancing around and found out Kelli was actually closer to 12 weeks! Man time flies! The first trimester was almost over and Kelli had no morning sickness...just SUPER tired!

At 20 weeks, February 5th, we went in for our 2nd sonogram. We heard the heart beat again and witnessed our first case of the hiccups. We are having a GIRL! Week 22...The baby was "official" so Ro decided it was time to trade in Lucille for a more baby friendly car. He had these requirements when he went to look: used, 4 doors, and fast. Here is what he ended up with...

Week 23...It was time to register! Kelli had been waiting and waiting for this day! She loves to shop, but we were not exactly sure what to get. Thank goodness Kim and Jana just had little ones and they could help out. Each of them sent us a list of helpful items. Oh man! This really helped out. We combined the lists and hit the stores. We had a great time finding stuff for Baby Girl Murthy!

Week 24 - 27...Now we can really get started on everything. There were several cribs we liked, but finally found one we loved. Also, pink and chocolate dots and stripes would be the winner for our baby girl's room! During Spring Break, we worked hard to paint and setup the baby room. Here is how it turned out...
Week 28...We had a our last 4 week doctor visit this week. Ro has been such a great support and joins me at each of the appointments. Kelli's glucose test turned out great, as well as all of the other bloodwork and baby measurements. The baby's heartbeat was 150. Also, we had our first of 2 Lamaze classes. It was a great experience! Kelli listened and Ro frantically took notes. We learned about the labor process, medicine options, and massage & breathing techniques. Ro even got a short back massage!

Week 29...On most days, Kelli and the baby are great. With the weather being crazy this week, we didn't get a lot of sleep. Then Kelli went to school on Thursday only to find the electricity was out! It turned out to be a pretty stressful day...no lights and no A/C. Thankfully, everything was repaired on Friday but Kelli's doctor told her to stay home all weekend and rest.
