Drumroll Please!

Our big ultrasound was today. It appears that Kenny was right...IT'S A BOY!! By all the measurements that the tech took, he is completely healthy & growing just like he should. He was not shy at all & was proud to show us that he was a boy:) We have decided on a first name--JOHN--after Christine's father. We still haven't decided on a middle name though. We'd love your input. Please feel free to leave suggestions under comments below. We haven't shared the news with Kenny just yet. We want to tell him together & have to wait until we are all actually at the same place at the same time. We'll probably share the news with him later tonight.

We have offically made it past the half-way mark & can't believe that we will become a family of 5 (can't forget our first born--Sergio) in about 4 months! Thanks again for all of your support & prayers!

BIG NEWS!

Many of you may already know this....but we are finally ready to tell the whole world! WE ARE PREGNANT! It has been a very long road to get here & we could not have done it without many of your prayers. So...down to the facts that everyone will probably want to know...Christine is currently 13.5 weeks pregnant & is due 12/17/08. We shared the news with Kenny a couple weeks ago. He is convinced that it will be a boy & he will have BLUE hair & we will name him Freddy! We have tried telling him that it may be a girl & he just won't hear it. We're giving up on that battle for now. If we end up with a boy, he will be happy. If it's a girl, we'll have to convince him how great it will be to have a sister. We'd love to get your thoughts about the sex of the baby--answer our survey to the left! We don't have a scanner, so I did my best to take a pic of the most recent ultrasound with our camera.

Christine has a lot going on...blood clotting disorder, thyroid problems & even more (way too much to go into here). So, we probably won't feel completely relieved until we are holding our precious little one in our arms. But...the good news is we have made it out of the 1st trimester!

It's been way too long...

Life has been pretty crazy for us...haven't had a lot of time to update lately! The weatherman was predicting a perfect holiday weekend, so we had lots of plans that centered around the outdoors. Unfortunately, the weatherman was COMPLETELY WRONG! So, we decided to take Kenny on Metrolink down to Union Station. He had lots of fun riding the Metrolink. It's the closest thing to a train he has riden on...and he LOVES trains. Here's a pic of Kenny feeding the fish at Union Station.

We also took him inside for a little fun. I'm not quite sure what it's called...but they had these trampolines for the kids to bounce on. They put Kenny in a harness, which keeps him safe...but it also let him bounce really high. Kenny said he got to jump 'really high like Superman!'. I've posted a short video clip below for you to see. I can't figure out how to get it facing in the right direction...so just turn your neck a bit while you watch it:)

Like I already said, life has been chaotic the last few months. I'm going to work really hard to try & update more often...promise!
