Hi everyone,

I had my next doctor's appt. today. Joshua and I are doing well. The doctor did say that last week at my ultrasound I was measuring at 21 weeks 3 days. So I am measuring just a bit further along than I am but not enough to change the due date. My fundal height was 22. Joshua's heart beat was 140.

We had a very fun weekend registering for baby stuff and we bought a crib and a changing table. Yesterday I bought some fabric for Joshua's quilt and curtains. We are hoping to work on his room this weekend - mostly painting and trim. Once we do that we can clean up in there and get working on organizing and decorating -so fun!

Joshua's Ultrasound Pics

Joshua Ryan Krauss

It's a boy!

Ryan will be posting some pictures from our ultra sound soon, so you will be able to see his cute little face. The ultra sound was an amazing experience. I was all weepy. It was so incredible to see Joshua's little heart beat, his hands move, his little mouth chewing on something, his little feet kicking and tapping. All so amazing. We are overjoyed and so beyond thankful for this precious gift of a son. He was healthy and 15 oz. We are both a bit in shock over how real it feels to know that our Little Krauss has a name and to be able to see him.

So amazing...

Only 2 days!

We are past the half-way point! Little Krauss is quite active. Moving around all the time. Last week Ryan was able to feel LK for the first time. Exciting stuff! Two days and we find out if LK is a boy or a girl. Be sure to check back on Wednesday. We'll be a bit busy but I'll make sure and write.

I'm doing well. My brother got married this past weekend so we were in MI for that wonderful craziness. They are happily married and on their honeymoon. Everything turned out beautifully. I'll post some pictures soon. I overdid it a little bit, but now am home surrounded by my purring kitties and resting so I can happily decorate LK's room soon.

love to each of you!
