Baby room


Lots of cleaning up to do, but take a look at our new floors!! Pretty good for his first time...
The wood floors are in (great job Andy!), and the closet is coming together!
Thanks to the container store, baby and mom get to SHARE the closet now... my side...

And his side...

Obviously i've been collecting my things a bit longer than him...
But he's gotten some cool gifts already! Thanks!

We are excited!!

well well well

Well, it's been an interesting month and a half, to say the least. We had a bit of a scare... when found out we were high risk for down syndrome. We didn't tell everyone, mostly because it was a very emotional and challenging time for Andy and I, and we needed to find out more about the health of our baby before we involved too many others. Also, because of the high risk, we needed to do an amnio. Though it was a stressful thing, Andy and I did our best to keep a positive attitude and trust that the Lord had our little peanut's life in His hands.
Last week we went in to do the amnio, and were told that we would get our results sometime this week. Yesterday I saw the missed call on my phone yesterday, and i felt my heart start slamming against my chest. I got Andy on the phone and we called the genetisist back to hear the news..."your baby is healthy and normal." HEALTY AND NORMAL!! sounded like diamonds and gold to me!!! Though we had all decided to be positive and had continued to hear "everything will be fine" from our families, i hadn't been able to let myself believe without proof that everything would be ok. Only I knew the fear i had.
But after talking to the doctor yesterday, I feel like the world looks different. I can look at baby stuff and feel truly excited! ( just started my registry on babies R Us!!) I can picture my little one running around the house naked, playing with the dog, actually being alive! it's pretty cool.
There was one other cool thing the doctor said when we were on the phone....he told us the sex. That's right!! But before i make it official and tell the world, who wants to guess???

Baby Fever

So, since i found out i was pregnant, i feel like there are a ton of pregnant women around me. I haven't decided if this was always the case and i'm just noticing now because I'm pregnant too, or if there's been something in the water. Either way, it's been nice to hear all the stories and such from these pregnant ladies, as they've helped me become aware of things that come along with pregnancy before i get to that stage myself.
It's also been interesting to hear what names people are coming up with for their children. Andy and I are starting to think about what baby names we like, and the more i hear what other new mothers and fathers are deciding to name their kids, the more i realize that normal names are a thing of the past. Nowadays you can pretty much name your kid anything. There are still many who choose family names, but anymore it's not just first names that get passed down. You can take your great grandmas uncles cousins last name, and make it your child's first name. Oh yes, the options are now endless.
So all of a sudden words like Chulula, storm drain, and willy wonka are just not so far out of reach. Don't worry, we will not be raising a Willy Wonka Rosdil. But we could. And wouldn't his room be filled with golden tickets?? Hm, something to think about. I like gold.

update

Well, a lot has been happening here in Denver with Andy and I! We are in our 14th week of cooking up our first little bundle of trouble - I mean joy! It's taken some time to get used to the fact that this is really happening, and come August, we'll have a third person in our little family! We are getting more and more excited, and now that i'm done with the first three months, i'm hoping I will have a little more energy and will stop going to bed before 9:30 every night. :)
But we are already starting to work on getting the "baby room" ready to go. We ordered hard wood flooring that has arrived and will be installed - by Andy - in the next couple weeks! It's going to look really good! And once we find out the sex of the baby, I'll move into full decorating mode I'm sure. That room will look GOOD when we're done with it! :)
Though we are already outgrowing our little townhouse, we are planning to stay there for probably another year to year and a half. We are losing our guest room, but love our location and the mortgage payment too much right now to "upgrade."
The next 7 months will be lots of prepping, traveling as much as we can, and hopefully making plans to have YOU come visit us!!! :)

sleeping beauty


Lego went to her first dog park today. It was pretty entertaining to watch her take it all in and figure out what she was going to do with this open space and off leash dogs. She played a little, ran a little, and observed a lot. Not what i expected from a dog with more energy than I can deal with sometimes, but I think we'll be going back!

Legos new vest



Last week we had a crazy cold snap, and Lego was shivering every time she went outside. So, as any good dog owner would do (right?), we got her a vest to help keep her warm!


A beautiful day for a walk in Wash park...

Pumpkin time!
