Catch up & Bean's Pending Arrival

Well, after a VERY long haitus...we have decided to reinstate our blog. As most of you know, we have a new challenge that awaits us...Parenthood.

After 9 wonderful months, we are nearing the end of the pregnancy of our first child (a boy!). We named our baby "Bean" early in the pregnancy, and it has stuck. Don't worry, he will get a "real" name when he is born, but until then he is Bean. It is now week 39, so hopefully he will grace us with his presence in the near future!!

Here's a look back at some pivotal moments of our pregnancy:

Our very first ultrasound - that little squiggle is the beginnings of our "Bean"

Our second ultrasound: The Gummy Bear Bean

The third ultrasound: Bean saying "Hey there, Mom & Dad"

The fourth, and last ultrasound picture, when we found out he was a boy!:

Our latest ultrasound was at 37 weeks. We didn't get any pictures from it, but Bean was estimated to be at least 7.5 lbs at the time, and had all his necessary bits and pieces. Kate asked if "he was still a boy" - and the technician assured us he was DEFINITELY a boy. So, his little blue nursery and all his boy clothes will not disappoint.

Here are some pictures that have been taken of the "bump" - we won't disclose how big the bump really is now....let's just say it's borderline colossal!!

Those pictures were taken on July 31st, at the shower Nana (Kate's Mom) threw for Bean, around week 31.

And, two weeks later B-Ma (Brian's Mom) and Aunt Missy (Brian's sister) hosted another shower for Bean (he is a VERY loved baby) - look how much the "bump" grew!

Now, we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of Bean.... Hopefully, the next post will have pictures of Bean. Keep your fingers crossed that Bean doesn't keep us in suspense too long, and comes into this beautiful world soon.

Until next time......
