6 months - here comes the home stretch!

 

Leigh having a moment with Nugget.

Well-Rounded

A cute pic of Leigh watching Women's Basketball, UConn (1) vs Stanford (2) while having Nugget listen to the Baby Classical music playlist.  We are trying our best to have this baby well-rounded in the womb!

BTW, UConn won....of course :)

Papaya & a Pound+

Nugget is now the size of a Papaya and 1.2 lbs

Due date > April 25, 2010

Something I have not posted, but is important!
Our due date is April 25, 2010

Fact: only 5% of babies are born on their actual due date.
Will Nugget be early or late?

Fruit & Veggie Growth Chart

This is my pictoral growth chart of Nugget!  Nugget started the size of a poppy seed and is now a spaghetti squash and still growing.  Leigh and I have had a lot of fun learning every Monday what fruit or veggie most represents Nuggets size.

Hot Friday Night Date Night

Last May Leigh and I had to use our credit card points and we didn't need anything in the offering.  We reviewed and saw some baby gear and thought, maybe, just maybe we could get something and we wouldn't be jinxing ourselves.  We researched the options and found this Pack n Play.  It was delivered in June and we rushed it into the basement. 

I had forgotten what it looked like, so I pulled it up o a Friday night and we had a hot date with a set of instructions.  We got it together and voila!  We have a great travel bassinet, changing table & playpen!  It has a mobile, a light, a sound machine & a diaper changing organizer.  It's very easy to assemble and disessemble. 

Now we have the means to travel with a baby, we need to be invited places and we need the Nugget!!!

Gift from Grandma

For Hanukkah, Nugget got it's first gift from Grandma!  Nugget is going to be eating pretty with this beautiful silver spoon from Tiffany's.  The motif of Man in the Moon is darling!  We gushed when we opened it!!!  It's too pretty to use & so precious.

Let the homemade baby food recipes start flowing!  Yummers!!

5 months

It's coming!!!  Leigh's belly is expanding with baby, just slowly.  Leigh has started to feel Nugget moving around in there,.  It's too soon for me to feel Nugget on the outside, but I am ready!!!  Leigh is getting adjusted to the expanding belly and is still able to be in her "normal" clothes....but sometimes it takes a few tries to find a comfortable pair of pants.  No Maternity clothes have been purchased or worn yet - she's quite proud of this fact.

Join us in worshiping the baby belly.

Sweetness, softness

Aunt Alia was so sweet to use her knitting skills for our little one.  Nugget is going to be the best dressed Nugget around!  Her knitting skills brought us the cutest little cable hat in the softest yarn.  This was her first cable item and we were SO impressed.  We do hope more hats are in Nuggets future...hint, hint... :)

We've got each other and that's a lot...

For love - we'll give it a shot
We're half way there!!!

This is the song i am singing loud & proud of my sweetie and my Nugget!


Here are our most recent ultrasound pics.  Nugget again, was tossing and turning and not willing to stay still for a really great profile.  Our little one is growing and measured within all the right ranges.
