It's official: we are homeowners!


Matt and I are officially first time homeowners!  We closed last Tuesday on our house (via conference call while I was in Philadelphia - but oh well).  Here are a few pictures that I have - I'll try to remember to post more when we get moved in.  I will send out our new address soon via email.

Why is the blog blue and brown?

We won't find out if it's a boy or a girl until probably the first week in July.  I did the blog in blue and brown only because I liked the combination.  However, here is a funny story about if it's a boy or girl...

I took an Apple group to Baltimore for a meeting in the middle of April.  One of the staff waitresses (older Gypsy-ish woman) for our banquets at the Marriott hotel came up to me out of the blue and said:
"You're expecting, and you are having a boy"
I was speechless nonetheless since at that point we hadn't told anyone - and I certainly wasn't showing!  She must have seen the surprise on my face because her next question was:
"I'm right, aren't I?  You are expecting, no?"
I then say a "uh - yes" and she proceeds to tell me again it's a boy and that:
"I'm never wrong"
So - would you believe the Gypsy lady?

New Due Date - November 14

At our appointment today - the sonogram showed that I'm actually not as far along as we previously thought.

Meaning -the NEW due date is now November 14 (instead of Nov 5).

At least it won't be a Halloween baby.  Well, hopefully not.

Crazy Baby!

Today was our first Ultrasound.  The baby is around 2.5 inches big - and already really cute. :)

The doctors were measuring and testing for chromosomal abnormalities and the baby passed with flying colors.  If the blood test comes back normal (which we assume it will) then we are hopefully in the clear!

Baby Gugg was moving and shaking and bouncing all around.  Which is supposedly a good sign.  We got to see all the major organs as well as the heartbeat.  It definitely has two legs and two arms - all good so far!

Here are a few pictures below.  Our favorite is the one of the legs - I think he/she was practicing it's synchronized swimming routine. 

Baby Legs!!
