Drumroll please....

Matt and I are excited to announce that baby K is a ....


little BOY!!

Our ultrasound went really well today. Baby k is a healthy and very active little guy. As Scott would say, for those of you in the biz... all his measurements are symmetric, he has a four chamber heart, all lobes of his brain, and all organs are present. Everything is right on track. The only thing the doctor wanted us to be aware of was that currently the placenta is lying a little low. In most women, it moves up as the uterus grows, but just to be sure, we'll get to see our little guy again around 30 weeks. He also was very active when it was mom and dad's turn to watch. He was squirming the whole time and flipped from head down to sideways. He obviously has his father's energy! Our next appointment will be in 4 weeks. Here are a couple more pictures for you as well...

The last two weeks have been a little more eventful (in a good way) than we thought. My good friend Matt got engaged to his girlfriend Abby. The engagement story fits him exactly as it should. We were able to celebrate with them and a few other friends with dinner at a Japanese steakhouse. Also, Scott and Sara had a beautiful baby boy this past weekend. I can't wait to meet him in person, and talk to him about his friend who will be arriving in a few months. I also developed two corneal abrasions in my right eye. Which has required a week of antibiotic eye drops followed by a few days of saline drops to help flush out my eye which apparently decided to develop a chemical toxicity to the antibiotic drops. I've been in glasses for two weeks which drives me crazy, but hopefully, this weekend I can start wearing my contacts again. Matt's looking forward to a bachelor party in French Lick this weekend, and I have some good friends from college coming to town. We haven't all been together since my wedding so I can't wait to see them and get some "girl" time. Here's an updated belly shot...

  1. sweet! I'm sure Matt is already forcing him to be a Cubs fan so that he'll have to go through everything that we've had to in our lifetimes...
