One Fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish

Matt and I read our first book to William this week. We took turns reading each page. This was the beginning of Matt and I being ' real parents'. 

This book is just one of the many books that William received at the shower in KC last week (thank you Aunt, T!). Our visit to Kanas City last week was really busy, but we enjoyed every moment of it. Matt and I were happy that we were able to finally see everyone!!!

I was very grateful for the wonderful baby shower that was given to Will and I while we were home. Tina, Cheryl and Erin did a fantastic job organizing the festivities. I enjoyed being able to visit with all of our family and friends that were there. I do wish I had more time to visit with each person.  

I think that it is safe to say that Will walked away with many, many wonderful gifts. Matt and I are still trying to figure out where we are going to put everything. Big thank you to everyone that was able to come!!! 

22 weeks

Today I had an appointment with Dr.English. This was just a routine appointment, so no fun sonogram this time. However, I always think it's a great day when I get to hear William's heartbeat. His heartbeat was once again, music to my ears. His heartbeat was 150 today. The doctor said that anywhere from 120-160 is normal. :)

William has been very active for the past 4 weeks now. It's amazing how much stronger the bond that I have with him is now that I have been able to feel him move and kick. Our little guy is starting to settle into a pattern and I can almost predict the times of day when I will be able to feel him. I have to admit, if I don't feel him when I think I should be, I get a little sad. As soon as I feel him again, I beam with joy. There just isn't anything like it.

Every time I tell Matt that William is kicking, he always reaches his hand over in hopes to feel him. Matt has been lucky enough to feel him on a normal basis also. Who knew this little guy kicking inside me would be so addicting..... once you start to feel the kicks you are instantly hooked:) Matt and I are anxiously awaiting the day that we get to hold our sweet boy. We can't wait to meet him.

Our little peanut has a name!

This post is coming a bit late, as I know most of you already know the name that we have chosen for our little guy. For those of you that have not heard yet, our sweet angel's name is William Franklin Montgomery. We plan on having him go by Will, unless he is in trouble :) Given the image that we captured from the sonogram on Tuesday (July 12th), I already know that my baby is going to be a sweet little angel all of the time... so William won't have to be called out very often. 

Yes, that is our little man sporting the middle finger. All I can say is that he takes after his daddy! I can not stop laughing about this picture. It's a classic, that I imagine will be shown to our son's future wife. 

18 1/2 weeks.

Matt says that I am no longer allowed to take prego pictures of myself. He wants to take them. They do turn out a little better when I have him take them. I'm never been a fan of having my picture taken when I am standing by myself. But, I guess I have to remember that I am not by myself.... I have a baby boy with me:) 

P.S. We have a name for our little guy. I will post more details later! 

Sonogram Pictures from 16 weeks.

These pictures are a little more clear than the ones I have posted below. 

Handsome profile I think. Jill, now that we know you are having a girl, you might want to get a good look at this handsome face. Could there be a future for our kiddos? 

This picture is looking at his rump, the legs and of course the "family jewels" are located in the middle. He is a proud boy! 

I ordered the bedding for this little guy today. The bedding will be custom made, but this picture below gives you an idea of what it will look like. We are having them monogram the letter "M" for Montgomery (if we have another boy in the future, we can possibly use the bedding again) on the center of the bumper. I can't wait until the bedding comes in. I am ready to get the nursery started!
