Out on the Town

We had a wonderful time this past Saturday night with the Easters and the Mahers. We ventured downtown to St. Annes to take in some great food and enjoy the patio scene. Then we met up with some friends at Barcadia. One Shirley Temple for me. I am really starting to love the fact that I never wake up with a headache anymore. It is pretty awesome!

The Name Genie

We all have names that we are calling the babe. The first day my dad found out that we were expecting, he was very open about his hopes for a grandson and immediately started calling the babe, Tron, as a little joke. Tron Trantham, Baby Tron, Tron this, and Tron that....

Well, this name has caught on and Austin and I are finding ourselves calling the babe, Tron when we talk about him. Every time one of us says Tron, we share a look and a little giggle that we are calling him Tron as well. Hahaha!

My friend Katie has been so helpful with picking out names for the babe. She told me about the Name Genie and I use it every morning...This morning the name that came up for me was:

AUSTIN SIMON TRANTHAM

Maybe it's a sign to have a little JR. running around?

We are hopefull to pick out a name sooner than later so we can start calling him by his name instead of Tron. STAY TUNED!

The Babe Montage

We finally set up our scanner for the Mac which means....we have to post pics of the babe. We are already in love with him and have decided that it might be a little high energy, like his daddy since he is always moving and jumping around when we see him.

9 weeks - The Gummy Bear Stage


13 weeks - Michelin Man Stage

Stretching it out! Hey, whatever's comfortable...

Belly Business 20 Weeks

We are cruising right along and feeling great!

How far along: 20 weeks

Size of the baby: Cantaloupe, 12 ounces, 7 inches long

Maternity Clothes: I am working my way into all things maternity and embracing it!

Cravings: Chocolate

Symptoms: Feeling pretty awesome, but super hungry!

Movement: He is still wiggling around in there and I have been able to feel him moving from the outside. Austin hasn't been able to catch him in action yet.

Gender predictions: We had our 20ish week appointment yesterday and it is 100% confirmed that we are having a boy! Now it's time to start ordering some furniture for the babe!

Our Dr. appt went very well and we are so excited to start on all the fun stuff like decorating the nursery, buying clothes and picking out a name or atleast narrowing it down to a few choices we can both agree on...

Lucky In Love

This past weekend we hosted a wedding shower for our good friends Katie and Andy. The shower theme was Lucky In Love and we decorated with all things green. I loved the green candy bar! It was super cute. We all had a great time and enjoyed some delicious food! Too bad I forgot my camera.

Belly Business 18 Weeks

How far along: 18 weeks - Officially 5 months.

Size of the baby: Bell Pepper, 5.5 - 6in long

Maternity Clothes: I am working my way into all things maternity and embracing it!

Cravings: Jalapenos, green chiles (weird right?), anything sweet although I am trying my best to avoid the sweets.

Symptoms: Still feeling pretty awesome

Movement: We have some serious movement. Usually right before I go to bed (9:30pm) and 4:00am (coinciding with a visit to the bathroom) and when I don't eat breakfast or lunch at my usual time, I feel some movement....Maybe he's trying to tell me something!

Gender predictions: Still going with boy for now...Here's to hoping anyway...my sister has already purchased a couple of outfits for the babe.

17 Weeks Belly Business

One of my friends did updates like this for her pregnancy and I thought it was a fun idea!

How far along: 17 weeks

Size of the baby: Turnip (5 ounces and 5 inches long)

Maternity Clothes: I would have to say that I have a love/hate relationship with maternity clothes at this point. On one hand, they are so comfortable and they have a better selection of cute tops and dresses than I expected. On the other, I am still holding my pants together with a hairband and bella band, but hey, it's working and keeping me sane until I have to be in maternity clothes 24/7. I am embracing my new curves but cant wait to get back in shape!

Cravings: Jalapenos, milk and if someone mentions a food item, doesnt matter what it is, I instantly have to have it.

Symptoms: A little headache here and there but overall, I feel pretty awesome.

Movement: Nothing yet, that I can tell

Gender predictions: We went to the doctor at 13 weeks to test for Nuchal Translucency and the doctor was able to tell us at 95% certainty that IT'S A BOY! We are so thrilled and Austin is over the moon about having a little buddy to take hunting and fishing...you know, all the guy stuff, especially someone to ride along in the golf cart.

We are looking forward to our 20 week appointment next month to see the baby again. We start all of our birthing classes next month, which will definitely make this more of a reality for both of us. Sometimes Austin forgets that I am pregnant and I am just thinking...Are you serious? You cant see this baby bump???

Bump pictures coming soon!
