Bean get ready for "Bean Town"

So Bean, and all of you out there that don't know me, your dad is a huge Boston Red Sox fan. Like my father before me and his father before him, I bleed Red Sox blood. Now I don't want you to feel any pressure or feel in anyway that I might be try to persuade you to follow down any particular path but when you get older you might notice that many of your outfits have a particular theme.... Just remember that I love you!

We are proud to introduce......Baby Bean!!!!!!!!

The appointment went well. We heard Bean's heartbeat (yeah, only 1 baby) and even saw her wave at us. She seems like a fun person already. Like me! *wink*

The doctor is hilarious. He kept John, mom & I laughing the entire time but not in a trying-to-be-funny way. He gave us plenty of time to ask questions and didn't rush us through like cattle. I think we made a great choice with this one.

Official due date is August 21st but doc says it could happen anywhere between 2 weeks before or after. I'm happy. John is happy. Life is good.

Yay....it's finally here! OB appointment that I WON'T miss this time.

I have my first OB appt in about an hour. I will be back posting what we learned later on tonight. Bean, honey, we can't wait to hear from you!

Still Hard To Believe

I look at the little fetus on the side of this blog and marvel at how it develops from day to day. I still can't believe this is going on inside of me. I'm creating a life. I mean right now it's happening, as I write this. John and I created a life! It is so amazing.

9 Weeks and So Accomplished!

Precious Bean, you are looking more baby-ish every week. Here's a list of all the things you are very good at so far:



Being nearly an inch long. (So teensy!)
Being the size of a grape.
Weighing a fraction of an ounce.
Looking more and more human. (I love that about you!)
Having body parts accounted for.
Your heart finishes dividing into 4 chambers.
Your heart valves and teeth are starting to form.
Your tail is gone (Hallelujah!)
Your organs, muscles and nerves are kicking into gear.
Your sex organs are there but not distinguishable yet.
Your eyes are fully formed but eyelids are fused shut for now.
You have tiny earlobes. (I can't wait to nibble them.)
Your mouth, nose & nostrils are more distinct.
The placenta is developed enough now to take over producing your horomones.
You are poised to start putting on weight!

No Appointment Today - Dang it!

I had written down the wrong time so I missed it by an hour. Yes, it is very frustrating. We were so looking forward to it. But her heartbeat will be even stronger and more audible next week, is what I've been told. So we are fine about it. Stuff happens.

Anyway, it was rescheduled for NEXT Thursday. And I promise I'll write down the correct time.
