Dale is in memory of Blair's father, who passed away 4 years ago this July. Blair is the last "Verrette", so that is one of the reasons we are so excited to be having a little boy, he'll be able to carry on the Verrette namesake.
This is the first entry about the baby and my pregnancy, so it's a little lengthy. Below is a summary of the first 27 weeks of our long awaited pregnancy.
As most of our family & friends are aware, we had to wait 1 year and 9 months to be blessed with this pregnancy. We found out in early March that I was pregnant and Blair and I couldn't have been more thrilled! The pregnancy has been a breeze so far, although I almost hate to put that in writing since I still have 12 weeks to go... no morning sickness, no sore boobs, no extra tiredness, etc. Until I started feeling Landry move inside of me, I was relieved at every doctor's appointment when we were able to see him on the sonogram or hear his heart beating - I needed proof I was pregnant!
The second trimester has been full of heartburn and a few leg cramps here and there, but I really can't complain. We waited so long for this little guy that I would have endured pretty much anything and if heartburn is it, I'm just all the more lucky!!!
First hint I was pregnant! I ended up taking about 10 home pregnancy tests.

Landry's first sonogram at 7.5 weeks - what an adorable little peanut!
13 Weeks
17 Weeks (another crazy hair pic - I hope I had just finished working out...)
We found out at our 19 week sonogram that we were having a little boy!!! My doctor's exact words were "its got a wiener!" Blair and I were extremely excited and we wanted Ireland to be the first to know, so we picked her up after the appt and took her for ice cream. We gave her a bag full of blue jelly belly's to help give her the news.
26 Weeks

No fair! The only thing that seems to be getting bigger is your belly. You look great!
ReplyDeleteOkay girlfriend........ I am so excited about the name Landry because that was one of the names that made our "List." You are looking good, and I am so happy that you are in the blogging world now.
ReplyDeleteI have been really bad about updating my blog. The whole work, life thing gets in the way.
I can't wait to see you again. Take care and I hope to talk to you soon.
