Another Cousin Born


On Monday, Nov. 10th, Ryah Moshier was born. She is such a cute little chunkster. Since the Moshier family lives in Florida we'll have to wait to meet her until this summer. Mom and baby are doing well and we send our love.

Daddy Feels Baby for the 1st Time

On Wednesday, November 5th (same day as our big doc appointment) Sonje and I were getting ready to go to sleep when I told him to put his hand on my tummy. I had previously asked him to do this several times before but the movements weren't strong enough for him to feel, only me.

But... this time when he put his hand on my belly, sure enough he felt the baby "kick". It was so neat. He kept his hand there for a little bit and felt a few more movements. It was so exciting for us since we could both feel the baby inside now.

As my mother-in-law said, we'll have to wait to see if it was a football kicker kick or a chorus line kick.

The BIG appointment- Nov. 5th

Okay, so I'm a little behind on my blogging.

Last Wednesday, we had our big doctor's appointment. Sonje took a half day from work so he could go with me. Besides our normal doctor's appointments, he hasn't been able to be there for the last few ultrasound visits. This was the 18-week appointment where they do all sorts of measurements on the baby, test vitals, etc. It's also the anatomy appointment but we told the doctor we didn't want to find out the sex. So far baby is looking good. We got to see the baby swallow on the video monitor and he/she was kicking its little feet like crazy. At one point, the baby even crossed its feet. So cute to watch the screen. Sonje and I could sit and do that all day long. Quite fascinating. Since the doctor left the gender of the baby out of his report, there's no turning back now. We have to wait on the sex of the baby at this point no matter what.

Berg version of MTV Cribs

That's right, check out my crib yo! Today we put together Baby Berg's crib. It only took maybe 20-30 minutes to put it together but by the time the crib was finished, daddy and Bergie needed a nap. What Sunday afternoon lazy butts. The monkey in the crib is baby's first stuffed animal given by Grandma & Grandpa Taggart. It was purchased from the little diner where we had breakfast and gifted to us after the big announcement.
