6th Month

Dear Family and Friends...I am so sorry for being such a slouch. The baby is growing steadily, and is moving around more and more. It is fun to watch the movements, as my stomach contorts.

Below are some pictures of the deep scan - ultrasound. It was sooooo cool!!! I cried most of the time, because this was the first time the baby actually looked like a human being. I could have sat in that chair, watching the monitor of our baby Moon all day, everyday.



According to the Dr. the baby is 1 lb 4oz, which is a head of the game by 2 weeks. Therefore, we may have a bigger baby than initially anticipated. Also, the Dr. commented on the fact that I should have been more selective of the head size of the man I married (hinting that this kid already had a head on their shoulders). The Dr. also said that this kid, if they stay on the growth track we are currently on, will be around 8-9lbs. I am not that excited about having a huge baby. I figured that we'd have a nice 7 pounder, since I was 7 lbs. and so was Corey. So much for that. I must just be eating too well.

Other than that, things are going really well. I have just a small cold right now, but am thankful that I've healthy this far. I didn't get the flu shot. Corey is doing well too. Hanging in there with the sensitive wife he has, and all of the anticipation. We now have a crib - thanks to Cousin Tiffany, who suggested Craigslist for stuff. We got heck of a deal on it, it is real wood, so Corey is stripping it, sanding it, and staining it. It will be brand new before we know it. Also we bought a car seat with base for $20. This set is $160 new. It had a broken handle, so Corey called the company for a new part, and instead they are sending us a brand new car seat. The Lord is good to us. Now if we can just get the stroller, we'd be set. I keep an eye out on craigslist for it.


FYI, from what I hear the baby shower will be April 5th. So save the date if you plan to come. I promise to try harder with keeping this updated. We hope everyone is well. Take care.

Oh we can't wait to meet your little sweet pea. Glad Craigslist worked out for you. It is the best. And even though it seems like all the newborn stuff is so important-it hardly gets used and then you just end up selling it on Criagslist, so you might as well buy it there also! Take care!
