Holiday Update!

Whew! Time sure does fly. I guess these are becoming almost quarterly updates. Matty is kicking the crap out of Annie. No doubt this kid is gonna be a kung-fu fighter. Annie had her baby shower on 11/29 which was really cool. Nicky and Michelle did a freaking wonderful job of putting it together and loads of Annie's friends, co-workers and family came far and wide to spend the afternoon with us. Annie really does have some wonderful people in her life. It was super cool to see her old friends again and meet new ones that I've only heard stories about.


Awesome robot cookies!


Kick ass center piece Ann's sister, Nicky, made for the baby shower. It has rivets, geared heart and all! This thing rules so much, it's definitely going in the nursery!


This was one delicious 'bot cake made by Annie's other wonderful sister Michelle. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the binary blocks!


And last but not least, here is momma at 32-33 weeks! Swollen feet, swollen hands, back aches and not being able to sleep much and still the most beautiful girl I've ever laid eyes on.

3D/4D Images + YouTube Debut!

Momma at 29 weeks.







This one is just like his momma and poppa.

Ultrasound videos from InfantSee4D on 11/7/2008. Kinda long (30 min or so), so we had to break it into 4 parts to post it.

Annie at 26 Weeks + 20 and 24 weeks pix!

FINALLY got around to scanning the pictures from previous ultrasounds (Ann scanned them in the business center here in the condo complex....I completely forgot we had one here). Anyway, we're chugging right along! I'll be adding images of the house being built as things progress as well. Stay tuned!

Fall Update!

Hi all. It's seems like forever since the last post, but it's for a good reason. Since the last update, we got the hardwood floors installed in our condo, put it up for sale and actually found a seller just a few days after it was up on the market! We absolutely weren't expecting to sell that fast, so we had to go full tilt into looking for a nice single family home to call our own. Well after a few weekends of searching we found a perfect little home for us. It won't be done until February/March (give or take a month) but we've arranged a deal with our agent to rent a townhouse of his on a month to month basis so we REALLY lucked out there. I didn't want to get stuck in a 6 or 12 month lease somewhere and be forced to pay a mortgage and a lease on a place we wouldn't be staying in. In momma news, Annie is really cute right now with her growing belly and swollen feet but I'm sure she'd disagree. I don't care, I think she looks adorable. Apparently Matthew was kung-fu fighting in her belly last night so Ann called me over to the couch to see if I could feel the thump. After a few minutes of my ear to her belly I felt my first little thump of my baby boy! We also have some new ultrasound pictures of the baby but since I'm working off of my laptop, I can only try to get them scanned at work, but here are some pictures of Annie at 24 weeks! Isn't she just the cutest!?

20 Weeks, 5 Days

Here's momma at 20 weeks, 5 Days! We have a few more images of the baby from our last visit on 9/12 that I'll put up later. We got another clean bill of health so we're just as happy as can be. In other news, we just got the hard wood floors installed in the condo and our real estate agent is coming this afternoon for a survey. If all goes as planned, we'll have this place on the market by next week. After that, it's the long hard wait but it'll all be worth it!

18 weeks, 5 days

It's definitely a boy!!!







Sorry for the late update, I packed up my scanner as we are preparing our place to sell. These were taken on 8.29.2008. Mom and baby and poppa are doing well. Next up is the the 2-3 hour ULTRA ultra-sound where we get to see all the circuits, wires and transistors of unit: MWD. Sweet.

16 Weeks 5 Days

Looking good momma!

This Week in Pictures...

Momma's baby bump!






14 weeks, 5 days. It was doing flips for the technician today...then it picked its nose as seen in Images 1 and 2. We got a clean bill of health and will be able to find out the sex of it next month!

Full Steam Ahead.

12 weeks 5 Days.



July 18, 2008. Kicked back and lounging.

By the way, this is Annie's maternity shirt in the image above. It rocks so hard.

Small Mid-Week Update.

Another checkup this morning, another clean bill of health. Got to hear the heartbeat again so we're just chugging right along! Since this is just a small update, here's a picture of robot for you to enjoy...it's a graphic that's on one of Annie maternity shirts titled "Robot Under Construction". Robots are pretty sweet.

Superhero in the making?

After a slight scare we went in for an emergency checkup this morning and we are happy to report that everything is still on track. We got to see the baby wiggle and squirm around and at one point it looked like it was boxing. It was waving it's arms and legs around like a mini boxer dancing around the ring. Here are some more images from this morning:





Image 3 kind of looks like a mini Spiderman or Spidergirl don't ya think?!


Next checkup in with the actual Doctor on 7/10 so we'll continue to keep this site posted. Here's Annie at 10 weeks/5 days:

Toxoplasmosis?

To protect my lovely wife from something lame called toxoplasmosis I have to take on the task of cleaning the litter box. I seriously don't know how Ann did this....our cats must eat dead raccoons stuffed with feet because they poo something evil. Until I find a suitable automatic self-cleaning litter box that has built in cover, I'll be gearing up with the mask, gloves and febreze to battle the hell that lives in the litter box.

Heartbeat

Listen to the sound and the fury of twodotzero...

Blogger won't host the file so this is the best I could do for now until I find a compatible hosting site that will display on this page. The link will take you to soundupload.com. From there, click on the Download: heartbeat.wav button and save the file to your computer or open it with your audio player of choice.

EDIT 7/4/2008: Annie uploaded it to our Comcast account so it can be played via Quicktime below!
