Katy and Sock monkey

(Katy the caterpillar)

I had my monthly dr. visit today and all went well.  We will have our next appointment on Oct. 31 and hope to find out if we are having a boy or a girl.  Will it be a trick or a treat? 

We are preparing either way, we bought an over sized 3 feet tall Sock monkey and Robert recently found and copied my favorite childhood movie Katy the caterpillar to DVD.  I can't wait to watch it again!  We are getting more excited as time goes on.

Baby Paraphernalia

We have bought a few things for baby such as books. The grocery store had some great deals on products, when you bought a certain food item you got a book for baby/toddler for free. We now have four books including Mr. Brown can moo can you? (we bought the book and got milk for free!) and One fish two fish red fish blue fish (we bought the book and got fish sticks for free!)

Today while at Costco we saw that they had Aveno Baby wash on sale so we picked up a pack. Later on today we made our biggest purchase yet (reality is totally setting in). We bought a travel system that will work in both of our cars. We were a bit concerned about my car with the bucket seats in the back, no middle seat and little room. We bought the Graco Alano Flip It which is small enough to fit in my car and has side impact protection since I can't put it in the middle and just enough room to slide a piece of paper between my seat and the car seat. Thank God I have a third door on my car!

A look back

Almost one and a half years ago Robert asked me to marry him.  Of course I said yes and in four short months a wedding was underway.  November 20, 2010 we were married.  During our nearly one and half years from being engaged to being married for ten months we have had a great deal of adventures.  From all of mountain biking, hiking, traveling, camping and caving to planing a wedding, moving, getting married and beginning new job positions one might think we have had enough adventure for a few years.  No, not us!  We decided it was time to add a little more adventure to the mix, I'm now three months pregnant. 
We are both very excited, a little nervous but mostly excited!  We have been doing our research and reading many books.  We have learned more in this three months time than we ever have I think.  We knew that we would need the basics like a crib, changing table and so on...we had no idea the amount of choices.  We now find ourselves spending countless time researching products and pregnancy info trying to decide what all baby needs and how to decorate a nursery.  This is the beginning our the biggest adventure yet.  The adventures of becoming McCanta have begun!
