Hello there!
Well, we are all moved in to our new apt. I am uploading pictures as I type this!! Neither Ron or I can believe the amount of space in here. It's like 2 apartments :) I know...It's a house...but we have only lived in apts.
Getting very excited to start decorating the place and getting the baby's room ready. It is so cool! I'll post pics later. Feel free to go to my flickr page to look around.
Back to work tomorrow...blech!

I want an ultrasound every day!!!
okay, so that's not a song lyric. But I really do want to see him every day if I could!!!
Here are some more pics of my Fred :)
The last one isn't as clear as I would like it to be, but I showed where the legs were and the "proof", as my husband calls it!

"What's in a name?"
So, Ron and I have been "debating" (that's the nice way to say it!) back and forth about what to name the baby. When we didn't know it was a boy, we could not decide on girls' names...but we thought of and loved so many boys' names. However, after MUCH debate and talking...a LOT of talking...we have narrowed it down to 2 names...
Curtis James
and
Brady Curtis
Curtis - is for my grandfather (my dad's father) who died in 2001 (September 12th!). He was my Boppie and my favorite person in the universe.
James - is for Peter Bridges, my voice teacher from New Hampshire who died 2 years ago. I made a promise to myself that if anything happened to Peter and I had a boy that I would try to name my child after him.
Brady - NO...IT'S NOT TOM BRADY!!! It is actually Brady Quinn from the Cleveland Browns.
Brady Curtis is definitely more of a compromise as far as the names are concerned. Ronnie likes Brady - I want Curtis.
Thoughts????
does he LOOK like a Brady?

Yep...the last one says "boy"!! I know it's still early. The ultrasound tech seemed pretty positive that it was in fact, a boy. We have another ultrasound on the 14th - 16 weeks. I'll know better than. We are doing one between 18-20 as well (2nd level ultrasound) so we will have a DEFINITE answer then :)
SOOOO EXCITED!!!!!
