26 Weeks Pregnant!

Happy 30th Tom!

We had a great birthday weekend for Tom. Kelly, Ryan, Ashley and Aidan all came to help Tom celebrate his 30th birthday. We had a blast with family and friends. Looks like Ashley thought it was her party! Happy Birthday honey, I love you to pieces.

Baby Nichols New Pics

Katie and I had our 20 week dr appointment today for Baby Nichol. Everything went amazing, and everyone is very healthy and one track growth wise. The baby (the sex is a surprise) is 13oz which is right one track with where the babys growth should be. I'm going to attach some of the first publicized pictures of Baby Nichol in the womb. There is a 3-D pic of the face, then a pic of the feet, and two shots of the body. It's amazing that your able to see the baby in this amount of detail this early in the pregnancy. The pictures aren't great, since they are ultrasound pictures, that were printed out, and I then took a picture of those with my camera. So keep that in mind. I'll be adding a picture of the pregnant wife as soon as I can get one. Take care.

New home in Chicago

Katie and I have decided to move into another two bedroom two bath condo that gives us more space for the new member of the family. It has three walk in closets (which is great), storage in the basement, and a garage parking spot. It's great to finally have extra room and not feel cramped. We moved last weekend so were still getting used to the new place. It also has two porches and a perfect room for a baby. Here is a picture of the living room, kitchen and bedroom. I'd put up more pictures but I can't figure out the picture album feature quite yet. Enjoy!!!

Warm trip to AZ

Katie and I took a quick trip home to Vermont to see my parents, and then spent a week in Scottsdale Arizona. It was beautiful weather and a much needed break from the snowy skies of Chicago. I'm going to try to attach some pictures of our trip. We would wake up early and grab a bite at the Hyatt at Gainey Ranch (where we stayed) then go out for a hike in the mountains around Scottsdale. It was beautiful every day!

Baby Belly Week 14

Hi all,
I have started the official belly flip book (well not really), but I"m going to start posting a picture of Katie's new belly growth each Monday to show everyone her progress. As many of you may know she is doing great, and everything seems on track. She has miraculously escaped the first trimester without any morning sickness, so that was amazing. This is week 14 and the baby is the size of a small lemon. This is my first of many posts, and I hope it turns out OK.

Hi All!

Well, this is my first attempt at writing a blog and I don't have much to blog about. I posted my favorite photo of Tom and me - enjoy! I hope to post as much as I can and update you all on our family this year. 2009 will be a wonderful year!

Cheers,
Katie
