More pictures

Of the master, den, living room, and Anna Kate's room....

This monogrammed burp cloth is my newest addition to Anna Kate's closet. I just had to add this picture. It is SO CUTE!!

Let's see if this works....

Ok, so I know I'm not the best at this. I'm a bit slow, but since we have been in moving transition mode, I have an excuse. We haven't been able to get to everything we need....until now. Found the digital camera and have (FINALLY!!) uploaded some of the pictures of our new place.....

Mike felt the baby moved

I've been feeling movement for about 3-4 weeks now. Nothing consistant, but definitely something there. Everybody kept saying it's like a feather tickling your stomach. Not! I told my Dr. B that I had not felt movement yet, but come to find out I had been feeling movement, just not the tickle kind.

Sunday night after moving in, I was sitting down with my feet propped up. Anna Kate's movements have gotten stronger and some of those kicks are in more tender areas. I grabbed Mike's hand and he jumped when he felt something. Dr. B's nurse said that after Wk 24-25, we should feel more movement at regular times. We're at Week 22 Day 3. I know she's up around 10-11, after I've had my OJ at work (I'm usually at work by 9am), and then again around 3. Luckily she's not keeping me up at night.

I've attached a few of the ultrasound pictures from the 4D place and our recent level two ultrasound. We're right on track for a Feb 18 due date, but we all know babies have a mind of their own. I have to keep reminding Anna Kate there are plenty of January birthdays, and she will want to at least wait until February before making her grand debut. We'll see if she listens to me. If she doesn't, I realize this will be only the first of many, many other times she doesn't listen :).

Ok, so I don't have as many pictures, because some reason my pictures are bad files. Our scanner was on its last leg, and didn't survive the move. I will get back with you on the other pictures.

It's about time....

I guess I should join this whole blogging thing. Figured it would be a great way for family and friends to keep up with us. It's has been QUITE a year! Mike will celebrate his one year with his company tomorrow. Let's see what has happened since October 13, 2005 (the day we left Boise):

• Mike & Suzanna are FINALLY PREGNANT!!!!! Found out June 9 (yes, you go do the math.....) Due February 18, just four days before our 10th Wedding Anniversary!!!
• Second of sibling weddings in July
• Over Labor Day weekend, we found our perfect home!

• We're are having a GIRL--found out Sept 23. Her name is Anna Kathleen and will be called Anna Kate for short.

GOOD GRIEF! What an exhausting year but what an exciting one!!

Speaking of the house, I have gotten a request to post pictures of the new place....I promise I will. In the middle of taking pictures, our batteries died. As soon as I can find the replacements ones, I will get some pictures online very soon....
