Happy Memorial Day!!

Hope you all had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! We decided to take Sprout on her first trip to the beach. It was a wonderful weekend of relaxation away from the never-ending stack of boxes back home in Asheville. We went to Kiawah Island, SC, to enjoy some sunshine, beautiful weather and the beach. We had a great time. Here is a picture of Momma Bryn sporting some pregnancy swimwear to show off the ever-growing bump? Hard to believe in only 2 1/2 months we will get to meet the little one. How exciting!! Now if we could just get the baby's room finished!!

Our Move to Asheville!!

On Friday May 16th, we finally completed our move to Asheville. All arrived safely including 3 million boxes!! It was such a blessing to have Bryn's parents come in town from Sunday until Thursday to help with the unpacking. They got so much done in those four days and it was a great help to Momma Sprout to have extra hands around for lifting. So far we have really enjoyed some great views of the mountains. Aside from needing a bit of paint, we have a wonderful guest room, so you are welcome to come and stay with us anytime!!

Baby sprout visiting her cousins

Mom and baby sprout took a trip to Wash. DC, to visit Matt, Kristin, Skylar and their new addition, Sienna Ashlynn. We celebrated Skylar's birthday and sprout was so excited that she first began kicking here, letting mom know that she wanted to join in the fun as well.

Dave, Kathy, Olivia & Grace came down from Hershey to help celebrate the occasion and joined us all on a trip to the zoo. Olivia is turning thirteen and Grace is ten.

Baby sprout cannot wait to meet them also.

Mom and baby at Easter

Wow!

A full month has passed since I posted my last entry to the blog, but I am happy to report that mom and baby (and dad!) are doing well. It has been raining a lot here recently, but we managed to get one really nice sunny day, where we took some pictures.

Our little sprout is growing and has started to kick which is fun. Each new day and week that passes brings something new. We have started talking to her, as we heard that babies can recognize and respond to voices, so we have been giving her some advice like she cannot date until she is 25...... you know, important stuff!!

Baby pics!!

This has been an exciting morning. We had our first ultrasound scan and found out we are going to have a little girl. According to the scan, everything appears normal and we are so thankful for that. We are now just under nineteen weeks into this journey and all the measurements taken today match up with that, so we are very happy. Check out the pictures and try to decide who she looks more like, mom or dad.

These next two pictures are the 3-d images. However, our little bundle of joy didn't want to be disturbed and hid under the placenta, so we didn't get pictures as clear as we would like. In the first one, you can see her putting her hand to her face as if to hide from the camera - our kid is going to be shy!

Well folks, the bump is beginning to show, so it's about time we started this blog to keep you all informed as to what is happening. The picture was taken at our friends' Matt and Stacey's wedding.
