I forgot the password and it took me, eh, half a year to figure out how to reset it.

Our little angel was born on Valentine's Day (!) and we have enjoyed every moment with her since her arrival. We have posted a lot of pictures on our facebook accounts but hope to update this blog over the next--well, let's not set a time restriction. We'll get them up eventually. Here's one of my favorites for the time being.

This was taken when she was about two weeks old. My goodness how time does fly!

So this may not be blog-worthy info, but earlier this week I felt the little one move for the first time! It was such an amazing experience--simultaneously terrifying and utterly exhilarating! Aaron is also convinced that I've "popped" in the last week or so, which I'm starting to believe (I think I'm going to have to go shopping this week!) myself.


Way more exciting news comes from good ol' Missourah, though. This last Tuesday (September 9, 2008) my little brother became a daddy! Their little guy--Gabriel Stephen McBride--is definitely going to be a heartbreaker come kindergarten. And on Friday (September 12) our other nephew--Brock Alexander--celebrated his first birthday! We are so blessed to have the two most darling nephews ever!

we had our second appointment with the ob today. it was short and sweet (sans probing!) and we got to hear the heartbeat for the first time. it was so exhilarating!

i haven't started showing yet, but when i do, we'll definitely post some pictures (ah-hem, Grandma Val).

baby kumquat

it's official. at ten weeks (!) we've matured from a glob of goo to a praying-kumquat with peach fuzz! (i.e., the arms of the little bugger meet in front of the body).

it'll still be several weeks before we are able to know if we're having girl fruit or boy fruit, but we're happy with either ('tho daddy is *really* hoping for an aaron, jr.!).

thanks for all the love and support!
