. . . specifically on or around July 8th! Yesterday was our first peek at our new little baby and even though I knew what to expect and have been through this twice before, there is nothing that compares to the first glance at this little person moving and hiccuping and waving their arms as the nurse tries to get just the right pictures.
In the past thirteen weeks, I've been shocked, scared, so very excited, and really, really nauseous. I often make a nice big dinner for our family, only to get ready to sit down and eat and have to leave because the sight of the food makes me feel sick. Nate's coffeemaker is banned to the basement on top of the dryer because I can't stand the smell of coffee these days. My regular pants don't fit and my maternity pants are too big still. Through all of this, I've, of course, always known there was a baby int here, but to actually see him/her moving around on the screen is like being given a dose of reality.
I really am going to have to change diapers for two more years and we will experience the sleepless nights again. Seeing that I basically only have a crib and a pack n play, I get to shop and plan for all the baby supplies we'll need. That's kind of exciting! Oh, and we should probably start thinking of a name!
Lots of exciting stuff coming up in the next year for us:)

How exciting! Please keep us in mind when help is needed... what ever that may be! We really cherish you guys as friends. ~Mark and Katie
Duh!!!! There are two name choices that are only acceptable....Charles or Tamara. I thought that we had this ironed out already. The fact that you haven't placed it in print makes me question your sincerity in previous phone calls. Lets talk again. Seriously.
Congrats, friend! Riley's birthday is July 8th and mine is the 9th! I'll keep my fingers crossed that it's one of those days!!!
