Half Way There!

Today we hit our 21 weeks mark, so we are now over half way there! We can't believe how fast it has gone so far, and how quickly he'll be here! We can't wait to meet him. Besides our half-way milestone, we also felt the baby kick for the first time this week. Stacy hasn't been sure whether she's been feeling him on the inside or not, but now we can feel him on the outside too, so we're sure it's not just gas, it's him! He's a really active one too. He must be constantly doing flips in there. Kit says he's kicking a lot b/c he's going to be a great soccer player!

Now that the belly is really poking out and we can both feel him, it makes this even more real (I know we said that about the ultrasound too). God's design for creating human life is such an amazing thing, and we are so lucky to be included in his process. I think He gives us just the right amount of time to prepare for the baby and each little milestone we hit along the way, builds up our joy and excitement.

We're still taking baby boy name suggestions! We have a couple we like, but have not set our minds on anything yet. When we get closer and have a few narrowed down, we'll post them for feedback. Here is also an updated belly picture at 21 weeks! With the way he's making Stacy eat now, and the way her belly is already poking, we'd say he's going to be a little chunk like his dad was!

It's a BOY!!!

We had our 18 weeks check up last night (we're about half way to the finish line!) and had another ultrasound. You could tell our doctor was trying to encourage us to wait one more month to try and find out the gender, but Stacy wasn't leaving until we tried our hardest to find out! The ultrasound was amazing! We could see so much more detail this time, including the 4 sections of his heart, his brain, every tiny finger, and YES! his little man parts! We weren't sure if the ultrasound technician was planning on telling us, so Kit finally asked her if she could tell the gender. She said "Oh I think so, do you want to know?" and of course we said "yes!" He was twisting and turning the whole time but while he was laying on his stomach, he jumped up really high and you could see his little parts clearly flap up and down! She got a pretty good shot of the "proof" (below). There were a few other funny moments when he seemed to be giving us a "high five" and then a "thumbs up" at one point! So I'm sorry to those few who were really crossing their fingers for a girl (Chris), but we're really excited to have a little boy (we would have been for a girl too) to carry on the Klein name. Stacy is just really happy to know one way or the other, so she can start shopping! Enjoy the pictures!

HIGH FIVE!!!

THUMBS UP!!!

This is my cute bony body! I weigh 1/2 lbs. right now!

16 Weeks!

The belly at 16 weeks! We're nearly half way there!

Baby Registry Update

We totally changed and updated our registry and have narrowed it down to what we really think we need and want from America. We're now registered at Target and Walmart, not because we wanted more things, just because the two stores didn't have the same items. So you can check it out at Walmart.com and Target.com (Just click on the underlined links).The arrival state is New Mexico and the date is October 2008. You can also find our baby registry in the registry kiosks in both stores.
