Entering the Home Stretch!

This week marks the beginning of week 28, the 7th month/3rd trimester. Baby, mom and dad are all still doing well. Just getting used to the rapidly changing feelings the baby creates and the size of mom growing each day. The books tell us that the baby is just under 16" long and weighs around 2 lbs and 9 oz (the weight of a one liter bottle of soda pop).

Here is a picture taken this past weekend in Napa. It's not a great belly shot but it's the most recent one we have. We'll try and get another in soon.

81 days and counting....

Down to the Double Digits!

It's hard to believe but we have made the move from triple to double digits...that's right, only 98 days and counting till the due date. Lil' Langley has been very active over the past week, kicking constantly, especially when mom is at work. It's a little distracting but fun. It's also been causing mom some crazy heart burn, which they say means the baby will have lots of hair. If anyone can explain that connection to us we're all ears ;-) We'll see in 98 days!

24 Weeks!

We spent the weekend in the old stomping grounds of S.F. Took the family to a whisky tasting event on the San Francisco Belle. Amongst the libations were great food, company and scenery, which is evident from these pictures. Jenique and Lil' Langley posing in front of the bridge is a great shot. We also got a couple "surprises" this weekend. The first was when Grandpa Langley was taking the picture on the left and said "say cheese, mom and dad!" That one through us for a bit of a loop. The second was when a friend did a trick to determine the sex of the baby. It came up two girls (not at the same time of course), but that we would have two daughters during our life! All the while we've thought it was a boy so this adds an interesting twist to the guessing game. Stay tuned until mid-July when the mystery will be solved.

The Baby's Growing

As Jenique's belly grows so too does the reality that we will be parents soon! It's hard not to start thinking more about what our baby will look like (let's all hope like it's mother), if it will be a chill baby that doesn't fuss much (doubt that), or heck, we wonder if we have a boy or girl in there. Lots of people are thinking boy, including us, but we've heard stories about people not picking another name before going to the hospital. Then guess what happens? It turns out to be the exact opposite of what they were thinking. And as much as Brad likes to think he can tell from the profile shot in the ultrasound, let's be honest...not possible. So we'll definitely have both boys and girls names figured out beforehand! We'll have an updated picture of Jenique and her growing belly by the weekend. So check back in.

Before and After

We look forward to the before and after shot on this one...a great ultrasound pic we didn't expect. 17 weeks and counting.

Starting to Show

They say that you don't show as early in your first pregnancy. Though you can't really tell that from this picture! Just kidding sweetheart ;) You look fabulous! Here is a shot of mom and what Lil' Langley looks like growing inside her at 20 weeks...the half way mark (can I just say again, holy crap!)

The Bean

After weeks of questioning...could it really be? We thought we'd let the Dr. be the judge. Nothing like photographic evidence to prove a point. The first question out of Brad's mouth..."there is only one in there, right?"
