Hello Family & Friends!

Well, as most of you have heard by now, Baby Ross is officially on it's way!!! Miracles do happen, or as Landon would say, "Hell has frozen over!". I think for a long time many people questioned whether we would actually take The BIG Plunge, but here we are and we are very excited!

In an effort to keep everyone posted on the progress of Baby Ross and the pregnancy, I've decided to start this blog. This way, everyone can get up-to-date information whenever they want it. And a special thanks goes out to my sister-n-law, who after much prodding and harassment on FB, has finally encouraged me to get my act in gear and actually get this blog up before Baby Ross is here!! Ha! Thanks, Ali!

So here we go... I'm officially 16 weeks pregnant this coming Monday, May 23rd. So far, everything has been going great! I'm happy to report that the baby and I are healthy and happy. To date, I've had 3 doctor's appointments and have seen a specialist once. Landon and I chose to do the early integrated testing to confirm that the baby is in good health and we're happy to report that everything is A - OK! There were no signs of down syndrome or any other type of disorder. We go in tomorrow for my 16 week check-up, so I'll keep you posted if anything exciting happens!

As of right now, Landon and I still do not know the sex of the baby, but we are definitely going to find out! We can't stand not knowing! We haven't purchased one baby item yet, and my Type A personality is going hay wire because I already feel like I'm behind! That said, many people have told me that I have plenty of time. My big To Get Done items are (1) find childcare (either nanny or daycare), (2) find a pediatrician, and (3) find all of that stupid paperwork that the doctor gave me on the first day that I was supposed to fill out for the hospital and something about classes that I'm supposed to take.... Who has time! Anyway, if you are in the San Antonio area... I'm taking suggestions...

Other than that, I don't think there is much to report! We've had the opportunity to have three sonograms so far. The last time, the baby actually looked like a baby, not just some ball or gummybear. I don't think we will have another sonogram until my 20th or 24th week visit, and I can't wait! We've heard the heartbeat once, for about 5 seconds and then the doctor said that the baby "ran away". Hopefully, we'll have better luck tomorrow. And yes, I'm wearing maternity clothes! Already! I swear my belly just POPPED out last Friday out of no where! It was the craziest thing! After a "small" emotional breakdown in my closet last Friday, Landon took me to get clothes on Saturday. I'm happy to report that I'm not a naked pregnant lady running around town!

I'll be sure to post pictures soon! Talk to you soon!!!
