It's A Boy!

Rob and I had our 20 week appointment this morning and confirmed that it is a boy! We are both so excited and Rob is over the moon. He was taken by complete surprise, he had already convinced himself that it was a girl. We have gone ahead and picked out a name - Henry Thomas. Henry is a name that we both liked and Thomas is Rob's middle name as well as his dad's middle name - so the Colvin lineage lives on!

Henry was very active this morning, he was definitely showing off for the technician - flipping over and even beating on my tummy to get everyone to stop pushing him around. It was so nice to see that he was moving around and is measuring right on track. We will have to get another ultrasound at my next visit, only because Henry wouldn't cooperate so that we could get a good look at the chambers of his heart.

Here are a few pictures from Henry's first photo shoot:








This weekend Rob and I ventured out in the pouring rain to do a little baby shopping. We went to a few furniture stores and picked out our crib, stroller and car seat. (Now we just have to go back and buy them - ha!) Now that we know that we are having boy, the fun shopping can begin! We still need to select linens for the nursery and eventually buy a few items of clothing!

I hope everyone had a good weekend. I promise to post more, we had a few "techincal" difficulties, but we are back on track now!

Baby Colvin

Welcome to our blog!

Rob and I wanted to share our adventures along the way as we get ready for Baby Colvin to arrive on February 5th. I can't promise this will be the best blog ever written, but I hope to at least post a few photos and share stories along the way. Don't forget to vote on the gender of Baby Colvin. Rob and I have our appointment on September 21st at 9AM, so you don't have much longer to wait.
