Baby Shower Weekend in Philly

We spent a weekend in Philadelphia for Wendy's baby shower and to visit with our family.  Logan had a stomach virus the night before we were supposed to leave and we weren't sure if he would feel well enough to make the trip.  Poor guy!  :(  Derek stayed up with him all night and he couldn't go to school that Friday, but he quickly bounced back after resting that day.  He really did not want to miss our trip to Philly.

Saturday was the baby shower!  Wendy is having a girl and is due in late January 2009!!  We played games, had lots of yummy food, and Wendy and Chris received tons of nice gifts!  It turned out great and was so much fun!!!

After the baby shower, we all went to the Flyers game!  It was Logan's first live Flyers game and it was awesome to be able to take him to his first one in Philly surrounded by all the crazy Flyers fans.  The Flyers ended up losing 2 - 1 but it was still great fun.

Baby Santan is Growing!

For those who have not already heard the news, we are expecting a new addition to our family very soon! Our baby is due April 29, 2009!

I am now a little more than 15 weeks along in my pregnancy. We've had three doctor's appointments so far -- we were blessed to have had an early ultrasound at 7 weeks along, and we have heard the baby's heart beat twice. It was the most amazing thing in the world!!!

Now that I am past the first trimester, I have most of my energy back and my belly is growing! We are hoping to find out whether the baby is a boy or girl at our next ultrasound - scheduled December 5th!!

This is such an exciting time in our lives! We have started wonderful new beginnings this year and have experienced so many great changes, and now we can't wait for the arrival of this little one!! :)
