20 weeks and Family Birthday Dinner

We had my family birthday dinner at mom and dad's on sunday night. Grandma, Papa, Uncle Tim, Uncle Daniel and Rebbecca and Jennifer and Ryan and the kids were all there. The food was amazing of course and the company great. Here are a few photos.

20 week ultrasound

So, we had our 20 week ultrasound today! Everything looked great, or so it seems. The radiologist will read the scan and I have an appointment next week and will get the final ok from my doctor. For all you wondering, or thinking I may change my mind. . . .I didn't we still don't know the sex, it will be a wonderful surprise when we do.
I am feeling great these days, I think I have finally gotten the hang of pregnancy. I am showing and having a firm bump actually makes finding clothes a lot easier! I will keep updating this blog. . . next to come, more belly pics!

Pregnant BFFs

My best friend since the age of 3, Shannon, and I are due 1 week apart. This is the first time we have seen each other in the last 3 or 4 months. We were so excited to see each other and compare our bumps. We had our birthday dinner at her parents house with my parents last night. We had a lot of fun and there was a lot of baby talk.

Naves' and Kubiack South Lake Tahoe Vacation

We spent a long weekend in South Lake Tahoe September 24-27. We had a wonderful time and spent a lot of time out on the Lake. And, here are my first "belly pictures" at 16 weeks.

Baby Naves at 13 weeks!

Weeks 5 1/2 to 14 1/2

Not a lot of activity during this time. Work, and home was about it. I napped nearly everyday in my car during my lunch break at work and spent all my waking hours nauseated and vomiting. . . but it will all be worth it!

We did go to the Museum of Sciences in San Francisco and go fishing a few times.

Horrible photo, but the only one we have of the two of us at the Academy of sciences, I am about 14 weeks

We are pregnant!

On July 6th, at the encouragement of a few coworkers I took a pregnancy test on my lunch break at work and to my surprise. . .it was positive! We are having a baby!

Now how would I tell Jack. I promptly jetted out of the ER to Subway (well, it was lunch and my last cold sandwich of pregnancy) and then to Target where I found a really cute baby t-shirt with a guitar on it. . .perfect! When I got home he was dressed and ready for the gym. It took a little convincing, but he finally sat down and opened and the gift and his response as he held it to his chest was "I think its a baby shirt". Me "it is", Jack "oh", Me "We are pregnant!" He was so excited! After a little celebrating we went to the gym.

I just told Jack the great news. . . we are going to be mommy and daddy!

Our first photo as parents

After dinner we called Mom and Dad to meet for yogurt at Big Spoon in Roseville, they were a little suspicious. Here they are with their Grandparent card. They were so excited, I think I even saw tears (mom cried of course, but I saw tears from Dad!)
