How far along are we anyway??

Well, here I am and I don't know exactly how far along I am because at my last doctor's appointment, my mid wife said she thinks that I'm farther along than originally calculated. SO she's asked us to get our ultrasound done earlier! It will now be done on May 29th with Cherie. So here in this picture, with my original calculations, I'm 17 weeks. I got to hear the baby's heartbeat and it's now down to 140.

It's been a beautiful day today! Justin, baby and I started our morning out with our two friends, Graham & Kelsie with a huge breakfast at our house and later we took a trip to the Redmond Farmer's Market. We got some kettle corn and tried some great samples :) Graham and Kelsie bought blue potatoes!!

Here's Kelsie, Justin and I enjoying the market....and Justin eating more kettle corn :)

Later, the sun came out and I busted out the rocking chair outside with a good book...in the front yard :) It felt good to relax today.

Just getting started!

Hey all! Well, Baby Courter is well on his/her way to growing bigger & bigger. I no longer look like I'm getting fat now, but I am actually looking pregnant! We can't wait to feel the baby begin moving. I'm told that shortly after it starts there's no stoppin' em!

Justin & I are having our first ultrasound on June 6th. We've finally agreed that we are in fact going to find out!! Yippee!! Katie & Jenny have offerred to throw us what's called a 'Gender Party'. I believe the Kyler's where the first to have one! Anyway, what will happen is we will ask the Ultrasonographer (which will be my step mom :) to write down the gender and put it in a sealed envelope. We will give that to our friends Katie & Jenny and they will have an outfit for us to open up in front of all of our friends. There, we'll find out boy or girl! The party is really just finding out the gender and hanging out with friends :) Good fun!!

May 5th, Justin & I did Walk America-March of Dimes for premature babies. It was really awesome to see so many people that where there to support the research for premies as well as very sad to see how many had lost their child from premature birth. We really enjoyed ourselves, though. The walk was 3.5 miles and I think I'm out of shape :)

So! Here is a picture of me now- in my saturday best :) we cleaned around the house and I'm in need of a shower, but what the heck!!

And...here's Justin keeping up with me :)

I'm feeling great! Justin is a fabulous husband and painted the baby's room while I was out of town for a weekend. It's a geat color, eitherr for boy or girl.

We're doing well. We're excited about being parents :)
