The In-Laws!

James' parents, Jim and Connie, came up for a visit at the end of August. We had a great time with them for the few days they were here. We went out to the beach and did some sight seeing. They were quite surprised to see my growing belly!

We had dinner at the Baked Alaska in Astoria, and had a wonderful view of the sunset!

Please take notice at the color coordination of my shirt and shoes! Thank you very much. I'll get use out of those darn bridesmaid shoes after all!

I am 20wks here. 8/25/08

Kerry & Todd's Wedding

Kerry and I on her wedding, Aug. 23, 2008. It was a beautiful wedding held in Gearhart, Or. Kerry and were friends in high school and grew up out in the country together, and were able to reconnect in January when I moved back to Astoria. It has been great fun for James and I to have such good friends. Kerry was a beautiful bride!
It was very special for James and I to be able to be apart of Kerry and Todd's big day. James and I at the beach after Kerry and Todd's wedding. We had such a nice time. I love it how my husband can always be himself, rolled up tux pants, no shoes, unbuttoned top shirt button. We always seem to end up being ourselves and have a great time with eachother.

Random Pictures

James and I went to the Clatsop County Fair, and I was very happy to have an Elephant Ear!
My girlfriend Jen and I at Washington Square Mall, in Portland, to do some much needed maternity clothes shopping. Jen and I are great shoppers, but we were limited to were we could go. Thank God for Motherhood Maternity! Racked up some damage there, thanks to my Mom and Jen for a fun day!
19wks pregnant! Defiantly have the pump going!
How cute are we? I am in Pink and James is in Blue, we really didn't plan for that to happen, and this was the day we were finding out what we were having. I think it is a funny picture that we are wearing "team" colors. This picture was taken Aug 14th, I was very nervous, to find out what we were having. Makes it very real!
And the results as you know know....It's a Boy!

We are very excited to be having a boy! Teagan Alan has been very active at night time. The other night while we were laying in bed watching the 10 o'clock news, he flipped over in my stomach, scared the crap out of me! Poor James, I have been hoping that he can feel him move, so I have been placing his hand on my stomach but he still can't feel anything. He is not too worried about it, He is so sweet, he says to me, "don't worry babe, I'll be able to feel him soon enough." I know he will, but it is exciting for me right now, and I want to be able to share that with him. ~Love you babe!

The Sex!!!!

It's a BOY!!!!!

Teagan Alan Sullivan

Yep, that's right! James and I had our big appt this morning, as you know I was filled with nerves. I have to put up pictures from today later. Make no mistake about it, our boy was not shy in the least bit. legs far apart for us to see, even the doctor said, "Wow, I am 99% sure this is a boy!" We are very excited, and it looks like he is 9 oz, we heard his heat beating about 137 beats per minute, very normal. No cleft pallet, no spine-abifita, no downs, all good things. We saw all four chambers of his heart, his spine, ribs, stomach, femur, tibia, fibula, and of course his not so shy "part!"

I am gaining weight apparently, and from our last appt I've gained 7lbs! I am feeling just great! I have finished with my summer classes and am looking forward to a nice month off!

Nerves

As I am making my way through finals week, I can't help but to think that by the end of this week I will be finished with summer term, and we'll know what the sex of the baby is. I find it to be nerve racking, scary, exciting and still a little in disbelief. Thursday will be the big day if he or she cooperates with us and isn't shy. James and I have names picked out, well let me rephrase that, we have had a boys name picked out for quite some time and recently James came up with a girls name. So now we are set, and are just waiting to put one of them in use.
I went to Portland a few weeks ago to go shopping with my mom to buy some new clothes, which I always enjoy, but this was a little different....Maternity. So I was able to find lots of clothes, racked it in at Motherhood Maternity, but now I have a pair of capris that are already feeling tight! Guess I'll have to get used to that!
I'll be posting the results from Thursday's appointment, so look forward to that!

18wks thoughts

This picture is from the weekend of my girlfriends bridal shower, July 19th.

Today is Thursday, the 7th, and in a week from today, James and I are finding out the sex of the baby. It is a scary thought, it will become more real. I have deffinatly poped as people have said to me lately. I will post those pictures soon. I am deffinatley looking more pregnant rather than just chubby. We have a boys name picked out but we are struggling with a girls name. We have the middle name but no first name. So I guess we are hoping more for a boy since we have a name but we'll see....

Friends & Family

This is my mom and my best friend Lacey, who came down to hang out with me for the weekend. Lacey lives over in Redmond, and my mom in Tigard, so it was nice to see them!

This is my best friend, Kirk, we were able to hang out over 4th of July. He lives up in Seattle and came out to the coast for a visit. It was great seeing him. He was my "Male of Honor" at our wedding! I wouldn't have done it any other way!

My brother, Adam, and I. He came out to Astoria from Bend over the weekend of July 19th. He is my little brother, anbd yet he is way taller than me....not fair!
