Need to make room for baby

Well, with a new baby on the way, she or he will need a room. So, time to clean out my last space for hiding packrat goodies. Over time attempts have been made at least to reduce the stuff. But, there always seems to be reasons to keep things. Ah, good thing there are some spots still available in the new Florida room's bookcases and maybe our closet. Maybe a few things can be retained.

Adding a first picture today to show our starting point. In looking at the scrapbook of my pregnancy with Caleb, I still can't remember being as big as I was. Guess I will remember before I know it!

Big brother Caleb is still working on the concept of a baby on the way. He thinks they are cute when seeing them in a store. Hope he still thinks that when one comes home to live with us! He was trying to look at my belly the other day to see the baby inside. We were trying to tell him that the baby is way too little to see yet!

Well, better get back to the cleaning process.

7/27/07 First blog post

Well, today we had another blood test and it showed that the necessary levels are going up. Things are looking good. In two weeks, we have a first ultrasound and will get our first peek at the new little baby. In looking through the pregnancy scrapbook from when Caleb was born, I looked at the early ultrasounds we had then. I anticipate seeing a nice little dot in a few weeks. Won't really give us any ideas of who this new person will look like! Guess we'll have to wait a bit longer for that.

Most of all so far have been feeling tired and HUNGRY!!! Like I did with Caleb, I am craving protein. My first inkling that we were expecting came about a week ago when I felt so ravenous for a turkey burger. I know some might say it would be too soon to feel anything or to know. But, I say that it was a sign for me.

Will share more updates as we know more.
