It's pretty obvious that Sherman is jealous of the attention, as he tries to jump in the way of the camera each time we take pictures of Beth. I really can't believe he timed this jump so well.

33 Weeks
Again it has been a long time since we've updated the blog. Sorry about that. Among other things, we've had visitors this last month, which leaves little time for blogging. (We'd take visits any time)
Beth is doing great. We had a Dr's appt in April that went well. They checked the baby's heartbeat and measured Beth's tummy. Both are right where they need to be.
We have our May appointment next Monday. I think it's about the same plan, heartbeat and some measurements. We also need to pick out a pediatrician before our next appointment. I think we have one in mind, we just have to let them know :)
Beth also had a few baby showers these past 2 weeks. We're very thankful for all the generous gifts we received. Beth's working on all the thank you cards now, and I'm working on finding places for all the new stuff. The baby room is coming along, but still a work in progress. In the next few weeks we hope to get it much more organized while we continue to fill it with all those items we're told we'll need for the baby.
Thanks again for the well-wishes and gifts. We're so greatful to have such generous family and friends.

Sorry it took so long to write.
While I'm at it, I'll add a few of the new baby room.
It's still a work in progress, but you get the idea.
Sherman was a big help in assembling the crib.

Well, it's been awhile since we've written, so first I'll catch everyone up on what we've been up to...
We had the doctor's appointment on March 1st. It went really well. We got a few more pictures of the baby, even some 3D ones, but since the baby was facing Beth's back, none of them turned out very well. So, we won't be adding them to the blog. You'll just have to trust us that the baby is bigger now and still doing great.
The baby's also been moving quite a bit more lately, especially at night while we watch TV. Most nights, the baby will start moving around 8 or 9pm and it'll be so obvious I can see it from a few feet away. Beth says the baby moves quite a bit after lunch too. I guess the movement starts after Beth eats. In any case, it's pretty neat to see it move every night.
We also finished some baby shopping last weekend. We found a crib and dresser set from a local store in Lexington. We bought everything last weekend and just finished hauling it all back home today. Next weekend will consist of putting the crib together and getting the baby room situated.
In addition to buying the crib and dresser, we registered for shower gifts last weekend too. We took the better part of a day to pick things out. It really was a learning experience. I had no idea there were so many types of bottles, pacifiers, diapers, and other baby accessories. I think we did a good job of picking a variety of things, just in case the baby doesn't agree with some of our choices. It'll be a learning experience, that's for sure.
Anyway, we'll add some more pictures soon. Hope everyone is well.

23 Weeks
Beth felt the baby this week. She's thinking she felt it a week or so ago, but wasn't sure what it would feel like. Anyway, during American Idol the other night, she definitely felt something. So, we both stared at her belly for a few minutes, and sure enough, you could see something kick or punch from inside every so often. It was pretty neat. It sort of looked like someone shocked her in the belly, as you could see it jerk, then calm down, then jerk again.
She's started wearing a few maternity shirts along with the maternity pants now. People seem to notice much more when she has those types of shirts on. I guess instead of disguising the belly, they sort of emphasize it. We have another ultrasound on March 1st, so we're looking forward to that.
We've gone through our list of girl names a few more times, and still no standouts. Maybe it'll be a boy and make everything easier!
