John's birthday present



John is 30! When asked where he wanted to go for dinner for his birthday, he said "buffet." 30 is a little bit more of a birthday than others, so I took him to Braza grill... Brazilian barbecue where the cost is flat and the meat is ever coming. Here's my first attempt at a from-scratch German chocolate cake... aflame. The best part of his birthday present though is the picture below.




We're having a baby! On John's birthday, we went to the doctor to hear the heartbeat. The baby decided to play hide and seek, so we got to see the baby move instead of hear it. Here's John's birthday present... the first photo of our baby! It's a pretty early ultrasound so the image isn't too much more than what our doctor called "our baby blob." But the baby rolled over while we were watching to let us know it is okay. Thank goodness we've heard the baby's heartbeat now after our March visit. We'll find out what we are having on the 28th when we have the big ultrasound for measurement and such.




Here I am in my great expansion. Who knew I could have such curves? :) This is me at 4 months along. We're due August 20th!


Happiness... John & are so excited! We've already got names picked out for all the kids we hope to have so we'll see if it will be a boy or a girl for our first!

  3. Happy Birthday John! Yeah! A pregnant picture. Enjoy the curves- they look great:) When I saw the ultrasound picture I thought just maybe there was an announcement somewhere in there so I had to read it a few times! Can't wait for the 28th to hear what you are having.

  5. Yay!!!! I'm so excited for you Mel! Crazy that you're having a BABY! It really doesn't seem that long ago (or maybe it does?) that we were in class together. Keep the prego pictures coming- you look fantastic!
