Last weekend, we put the crib together and rearranged the furniture in the baby's room. It just needs a few more decorative touches and it will be ready for our little one!
Here is the bedding set we have chosen for the room:

It's A Boy!
I had a sonogram at 19 weeks yesterday, and it confirmed that our baby is definitely a boy. I must admit, I was a little surprised - I thought it was a girl! Brian thought it was a boy all along, and he was right. The baby is perfect in every way and we are thrilled. He was sleeping on the sonogram with his little arms up cradling his head. He even yawned a couple of times. It was so cute.

This view is from underneath, as if he was sitting on a glass table and the camera is looking up from under the table. Click on the images to see them larger.
In this picture, he's facing forward. You can see his elbows just to the left of his head, because he had his little hands tucked beside his cheek while he slept through the whole thing. His knees are on the far left.
Profile view - his head is on the right, facing up, just under the word "profile".

Thanksgiving 2009
Here's a lovely fall picture of our back yard. We'll get around to raking the leaves eventually, but right now I'm enjoying the colorful carpet they've created. This is the first time I've ever seen the leaves so brilliant here - usually in this area of Texas they just turn dull brown and fall off. It's been nice to actually see some fall foliage this autumn.
As always, click on each picture to see it larger:

Here's the whole crew on Thanksgiving at my parents' house. It was great having a houseful of extended family in town! We loved being able to spend time with everyone. It was a wonderful weekend.

2nd Appointment
My 2nd prenatal appointment went well. We couldn't quite get the baby's heartbeat on the doppler (still too small), so the doc did a quick sonogram. The baby was moving around (aww!) and the heartbeat was nice and strong. I couldn't see the heartbeat on the monitor, but I could hear it. The doctor is pleased with how the pregnancy is progressing. I'll be 11 weeks on Monday.
In other fantastic news, my doctor also told me that it was perfectly fine for me to resume my 1 cup/day coffee habit. Yay! I've missed it a lot.
I am really looking forward to being able to feel this wee babe inside. It still doesn't seem real to me yet, even though I know he/she is in there, kicking away.

Thoughts on a November day...
Ah, November!! The beginning of my favorite time of year. I love the cooler weather, the warmth of comfort food, looking forward to the holidays, anticipation of good times with family and friends.
And an update on me...
-I am 9 weeks pregnant today.
-I am due June 6, 2010.
-I have been feeling very fatigued lately.
-I also have quite a bit of nausea, but I'm very thankful that I haven't actually been getting sick. I just feel like it a lot of the time, especially in the evenings.
We have much to be thankful for this year. I will hit the 12-week mark on the Monday before Thanksgiving. If I start feeling better at that point, I will be even MORE thankful. ;-)
