20 weeks!!!!

Today was our 20 week ultrasound. Everything is looking great with our baby boy. The last 2-3 weeks I have been feeling some movement. At first I wasn't sure if it was really the baby but now it's becoming more frequent and pronounced so I know that it definitely is him. Jon hasn't been able to feel him yet but I know that he will be able to soon!
The current name in the running for the little one is Axton David. We have had the hardest time deciding on a name!! We always knew that we'd use David for the middle name because it's Jon's middle name but we have NOT agreed on a first name. I have had a few people recently ask me about the first name and you should see the look on their faces when I tell them "Axton." They don't really know what to think of it! But, oh well, we like it and that's all that matters.
We have our crib and bedding already but haven't set anything up because a crib in a box is easier to move. We are hoping on finding a house before the baby makes his appearance in November. If our condo hasn't sold then we're planning on renting it out. Our condo feels too small for the 2 of us and as we accumulate more and more baby stuff, the space gets smaller and smaller. If in the case we don't find a house, we'll of course make it work!

It's a BOY!!!

Already our baby is growing so fast! I am now 15weeks pregnant and we just found out that we're expecting a boy!! We can't agree on any names so it's a good thing we still have time to decide!

New Bird!

So we ended up with a bird! Jon's niece rescued him from someone who couldn't take care of him anymore but she already has 6 parakeets so her mom said "no way!" She knows a sucker when she sees one so she offered him to us. He's a peach-faced lovebird and is approximately 10 years old. His name was Mickey but we didn't really like it so we changed it to Kanoni, which means "little bird" in one of the African languages (lovebirds originate from Africa).
Nike isn't quite sure what to think of him but for the most part they get along pretty well.

Fun Stuff

I am horrible at this blogging stuff. Actually I have NOTHING to blog about.

No kids to blog about or interesting vacations because all we do is work.

But we were able to go last Friday and watch our SIL, Julie do her first Highland dancing performance at the David Barclay Memorial. She is on the far right and did awesome! You'd think she's been doing this forever but she's only been receiving lessons for a few months. I love that Jon's family is so into their Scottish heritage. Jon, his brother Andrew, and his dad are all receiving lessons to learn to play the bagpipes. Something that Jon has wanted to do before I even met him.
