23 weeks in Vegas!

Our baby boy is 23 weeks along today... it happens to be a Thursday - go figure! - and we decided for sure on his name today :) While we were in Las Vegas, we were in this cute little gift shop at Excalibur with Mandi, Jason, Danielle, and Jon, and we found little jungle bowls and silverware sets that with names on them... I was walking around the gift shop going back and forth, back and forth - should we choose Ethan or choose Logan?? We really had our hearts set on Ethan for a boy before we were pregnant, so we decided to go ahead and name him Ethan Christopher. It just felt right!!

Happy 4th Anniversary!

We had a fun, busy day celebrating our 4th wedding anniversary! It started out by Mommy making our favorite banana pancakes for breakfast in bed:



Then, we had our 22 week appointment. It is hard to believe, but our little one will be here in 4 short months!! All is well :) The baby's heartbeat was 144 beats per minute, and the midwife could palpate Mommy's uterus now 2cm above her belly button.

We went for a 4D ultrasound at Becoming Mom Pregnancy Spa and Imaging Center, and it was absolutely incredible to see our little baby in that way!!



Here is a slideshow of some of the 4D images from our ultrasound!!
After the ultrasound, we went to a yummy dinner at one of our favorite restaurants, The Melting Pot!



We got to visit with Dean, Becky, Allison, Melody, and Danielle a few weeks ago in Indianapolis, and we took the baby name book along for the ride... we read through the entire book, and we have narrowed the baby's name to Ethan Christopher or Logan Christopher. Now comes the tough part of deciding which to go with!

We go for our next appointment in one month, and then we switch to every 2 week appointments!! It is hard to believe the pregnancy is going by so quickly. We are heading out for our "babymoon" to Las Vegas on Monday morning with 4 wonderful friends - Mommy is armed with seabands and Dramamine to prevent air sickness!

First kick!

Our baby boy is 21 weeks, 1 day... and Mommy felt him kick for the first time! Inside Mommy's stomach, it felt like someone flicking their finger :)
