We went to the doctor yesterday for our "Little Man's" check up. Everything looked very good. He is head down. He is getting ready to come into the world and meet us all. Only 50 more days until the due date. We can't wait!

3D Images of Baby Bateman

25-26 Weeks Pregnant

Baby Class

This last weekend we went to the Labor and Delivery Baby Class. You can see Jon above wearing the dad empathy belt. It weights 35 pounds and gives the dads an idea of what the moms feel like. :) He was a great sport. The class taught us a lot and reminded us to take care of each other through the entire new stage in our life. I would recommend it to anyone. The best part is the massages that the dads give :) We are taking an infant CPR class and "How to Take Care of Baby" class. I figure it can't hurt. Thank you Jon for being such a good sport. I know you are going to be such a good daddy.

ITS A BOY

Well, thank you to my Aunt Amy, I was able to put the latest photos of Baby Bateman on here. I emailed them last week. Last Wednesday we went to the doctor for another sonogram. The first time Baby Bateman was in fetal position and did not show the doctors everything they needed to see. He was much more active last week. Jon and I had "kind of" made up our minds that we were not going to find out. We were pretty determined to stick to that. Oh well. We just couldn't stand ourselves when the nurse said she could tell what the baby was. I even got off of the table and the sonogram was over when we decided to find out. Yes, we flipped a quarter to see if we would find out. Heads we found out. Tails we waited. It landed on heads. I got back up on the table and we found out a few seconds later that It was a BOY!!! I don't think Jon and I will ever forget that moment.
I am almost 23 weeks. We are more than half way until we meet this little guy. He will be blessed with such a good family. We love him.
Take a look at the third picture. He is sucking his thumb. The picture below confirms baby boy.

Baby Bateman's Bedding

Jon did a great job picking out Baby Bateman's bedding. Hope we can do as good of a job as Pottery Barn did with the decor :)

Baby Bateman's 19 1/2 Week Sonogram

Today we went for our 19 1/2 week sonogram. This is the week you usually find out what the gender of the baby is if you want to. As of right now, we are not finding out what the baby is. Good thing because you can see in the picture above that little Baby Bateman is in fetal position with his/her legs bent and crossed - up to the tummy. Baby was moving around a lot, just would not flip over. You can see a clear picture of the spine above and the first picture is of the foot. We found out that many babies get comfortable and like this position :)

We will go back tomorrow to get an overview of all of the measurements taken today and then back in a few weeks to take pictures again and get more measurements. The baby should be around 8 ounces and approx. 6 to 6 1/2 inches long right now.

Baby Bateman's Crib

Baby Bateman's Crib!!! This is a picture of the crib we chose. The picture was taken at the store, so the decor isn't ours. Thank you mom and dad for the place our little baby will sleep. :)

Shopping for Baby Bateman

18 weeks is here!!! The baby is the size of a sweet potato according the "The Bump"

Jon and I had fun at Babies R Us registering. Yes, a little pro-active but we were in Atlanta and the Babies R Us in Nashville is small and in a bad area. You know we are new at this because it took us about an hour and a half to register for 54 items. We tested the stollers ect :)

We can't wait for Baby Bateman!!!

Baby Bateman is Growing

Baby Bateman is 16 weeks old today! Jon, Mom and I heard the heartbeat last Thursday. It is amazing that something is living and growing inside of me :) Time is passing by quickly and before we know it, November will be here. The due date is November 15th, just one day after Jon's birthday. We have decided to wait to find out what the sex of the baby is. Boy or Girl??

We are very blessed and love little "Lionel"

Starting Our Blog

Well, here it goes! In an attempt to share our new life in Nashville with our family, I am going to try to start this blog. If I am successful at it, I hope that it will bring much joy to the ones we miss at home. If you know me at all, you know that I have over 2500 pictures on my camera, therefore, this could take a while. This blog is dedicated to all of the irreplaceable and wonderful memories with my husband, Jon and all of our faithful furry friends that follow our footsteps each day without questioning where we may lead them next. What a wonderful way to remember each day.
