Spring Snow

The first winter I spent here in Seattle it snowed only once, at even then it was when I was in Idaho for Christmas. Last night we got about four inches of snow. FOUR INCHES!? IN LATE MARCH!? IN SEATTLE!!?? I know, we couldn't beleive it either. Most of it is already gone now. I am glad it was on a weekend and we didn't have to commute in it. Here is a picture.

Three Weeks

We are only three weeks away from our due day. Tiff is still feeling pretty good. She had another shower a few weeks ago and I had one at work this week. I have posted pohots of each in the photo gallery. We are truly blessed to have such amazing friends and family. Thank you all so much for your generous gifts. This coming up week we have an ultrasound and tour of the hospital. We are getting very excited to meet our new little guy! Here are a few pictures of Tiff from last weekend.

40 Days to Go

It's getting close, only 40 days to go. Last weekend we took our Childbirth Class and on Thursday took a Coping Techniques Class. The baby's room is coming along (you can see photos in my gallery). Tiff had a shower a few weeks ago and we got ALOT of clothes!!! She has another one next weekend as well. It frightens me to think of getting more clothes!! ;o) Tiff is still feeling pretty good and is still working out 2-3 times a week.

To My Two Favorite Gals

Happy Birthday!!! Today is both Tiffany's and my mom's birthday. I hope you each have a wonderful day. I love you both!

Baby's Room

We spent the weekend working on the baby's room. On Saturday, Jenny came over and helped us paint the room (thank you so much for your help Jenny). I finished up with the details on Sunday. Today, it snowed. There wasn't too much snow but we were unable to get out of our driveway so we didn't make it in to work today. We took advantage of our day off and put up the wallpaper border. It is coming along nicely. Take a look.

6 Down, 3 to Go!

We are at the 2/3 mark this week. Three months to go...so far yet so close! Seems like there is so much to do. This past weekend we registered at Babies R Us and Target. It was fun but overwhelming. We have no idea how to choose bottles! And that is just the beginning. Pacifiers, high chairs, monitors & diaper genies. Not things we have ever even thought about let alone shop for. We have also started to get the baby's room ready. We had to move everything from the office downstairs and moved the guest room to the office. The baby will get the old guest room. The next step is choosing paint and painting the room. Tiff is doing well but has started to get tired all the time again. Plus she has not been sleeping well, which means I have been sleeping even worse. That is ok though because I know that she needs her rest. Here are a few picture from last week. Isn't she beautiful!

He's a Mover and a Shaker

We felt the baby move for the first time on January 1st. It was very exciting. We felt him about 5-6 times over about 5 minutes. He must have got tired because we waited about 15 minutes but never felt him again. He's going to be a powerful little bugger, they weren't little kicks. Tiff felt him again last night but he wasn't cooperating for dad.
We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. We spent about a week and a half with my family in Idaho. It snowed about 6 inches on Christmas Eve. When we got back we celebrated Tiff's mom's 60th birthday.

Marital Compromise

Anyone who knows us knows that Tiff loves the color red and I love the color blue. We all know she won when it came to choosing the color for the wedding. The compromise? Blue bedroom! So when it came time to decorate the Christmas Tree what did we do? Red, White and Blue? No...

Blue one year...

...and Red the next.

The only bad thing is that we have twice as much decorations. So, you ask if we are tied? No way, baby boy means another blue room! Looks like I am ahead.

O' Christmas Tree

Tiff and I spent the evening decorating our tree. Here are some pictures:

Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving at the cabin with Tiff's family. We had a wonderful dinner and enjoyed getting to spend time with family. On Friday morning, Tiff and I went out to the lake and saw 5 bald eagles. It was amazing! I can't beleive that I didn't get any photos of it. When we went to leave Friday evening, my car wouldn't start. We tried to jump the battery but it didn't work so we got to spend another night there. The next day we had the battery tested and it was bad so I got to buy a new battery. I guess that is better than having to spend $100s more on something else. Here are few photos from Thanksgiving.

It's a...

It's a boy! We had our ultrasound today and found out that we will be having a boy. Tiff and I are so excited! As many of you already know, seeing these first images of your baby is an absolutely unbelievable experience. The little guy was quite active. Wiggling, kicking, waving his arms and at one point, he completely flipped around. Here are a few images from the ultrasound. Hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Long Time No Blog

It has been a while since I have posted an update. I'd like to say that it is because we are so busy, but I heard somewhere that your nose grows when you tell a lie. Plus Christmas is coming up and I think I need to be a good boy for the next six weeks. Nothing too exciting has taken place over the past two weeks. Last week Tiff got sick, then gave it to me. She thought she had it worse because she couldn't really take anything for it and I could. Well, a week and a half later, I am still sick. She only had it for about three days. Oh well, I am just glad that she didn't have it for too long as she was pretty miserable. We reached the 18 week mark yesterday and are only five days away from finding out the baby's sex. Our ultrasound is on Wednesday and we are both very excited to find out. I think my mom is even more excited though. I will try to get an updated posted as soon as I can when we find out.
