Oh Sugar Sugar

Hey everyone. So we had another appointment yesterday and it went fabulously. We were supposed to get the gestational diabetes test done yesterday also but since we didn't have the glucose drink (see the delicious picture on the right.. :S), we get to wait for our next appointment to get poked. They will also take an iron test but the Dr. said he wasn't worried about it since the originally blood count was one of the highest he'd ever seen. (Pumpin' iron, through the veins.. oh yeah!).

We also received the results back from the blood tests regaurding diseases. Neither one of us are a carrier (for any birth related diseases) so we're all good. After taking the tests it showed a significant drop of the chances of any retardation or anything compared to the national average. Go us!

She's about 13 1/2 inches and weighs about a pound and a half. The due date has been fluctuating within 5 days plus or minus, but the Dr. said it's best to keep it at the May 17th date since that's what it seems to be rotating around.

As far as names, we're still working on it!!! We've kind rotated around 2 or 3 we like, but probably won't be sticking with anything until we see her. The Bug's name was switched 2 weeks before he was born, so you never know. (For those of you who don't know, The Bug is Patrick. ;) )

'Til next time,

It's a....

Baby girl!! We went last week for an ultrasound and found out we're going to have a beautiful girl. The Dr. giving the ultra sound was one we hadnt seen before (or so we would have assumed), said the baby was of appropriate size and everything to be due around the same date as expected. It turns out he was a Dr. that had seen the bug while he was in the hospital a few years prior. It was nice to see a familiar face amongst all of the mystery, wonder, and uncertainty. He wished us well and handed off the following pictures to us as we left..


Face, chin, and little hands


She's definately going to have her daddy's big ol' feet


After about an hour of lady-like-ness, she finally uncrossed her legs and we found out she was a girl.

The morning sickness and tiredness has finally subsided. Shes kicking like a ninja and especially when she hears her daddy or feels him rubbin' the belly. She will be spoiled regardless of her daddy's beggings not to be.

If most of you haven't heard the wonderful news, there it is. For those who don't know, we're going anti-pink to open room for creativity. I know you're thinking "Hey! there's pink in this blog!! Why can't we do pink too??" Well, I'm the mommy, and I designed the page... so therefore, I can.. :P

Stay tuned!,

Merry Christmas!

19 week baby bump! You asked, here it is!

Say Whaaat?

So, the beginning of September we receive an urgent e-mail.

"Dear Alex & Danielle,

Ready or not....

Anxiously yours,

The infamous stork."

We found out we were expecting.. shock and amaze were definately involved, soon followed by excitement and panic.

Without further ado, here are the first pictures of Baby Roach .. (at that time we didn't know the sex)..


11 weeks old = torso


11 weeks old = baby butt and feet

Welcome to our blog.

Well we figured we'd join the rest of society and finally give into the world of blogging. But one question lingered, what subject?

Well obviously our talent and good looks were our first idea, but as years have taught us, it bores people greatly and chances are people would stop visiting after seeing our faces and soon block us from their children's browsers. ;)

So the biggest thing in our life next to our sarcasm and self-entertainment is our new baby girl who is due on May 17th.

Welcome to our blog. Enjoy. Leave comments. Subscribe to the feed to read all of the latest updates on Baby girl Roach.
