Shortstop Update: 16 wks

Last Tuesday, we went in for our 16 week appt. We were able to hear the heartbeat for the second time at 146 bpm (last time was at 6 wks with a rate of 135). This was reassuring as I was starting to think that all this baby stuff was in my head. Crazy, I know. Everything looks great and Shortstop and captains are doing great.

We will learn the Shortstop's gender on New Year's Eve, but you will be able to read the latest information on New Year's Day ( maybe I will post early since I go to bed with the chickens). In the meantime, starting Sunday, December 21st, you will be able to cast your vote for Shortstop's gender. And as always, fell free to leave comments. We totally love hearing from you guys.

14 wks (3 months, 2 wks) 17 wks (4 months, 1 wk)

This year, my parents came up to Colorado for Thanksgiving. We had a house full of people as Eric's immediate family also joined the feast. We had a great day and ate entirely too much food, but hey, what else would you do on Thanksgiving?

These next few weeks are going to be crazy for us, but I'll try not to slack off too much with the updates. Hope the holiday season treats everyone well. Be on the lookout for your annual edition of the Sage City Sentinel due to appear in your mailbox soon.

Picture: I went to a friend's baby shower in November and made her a diaper cake. While you can't eat it, it's super cute and practical.
