It seems as though young Evan is a Bears fan. All throughout the game he was kicking and moving. In general, it seems as though he likes football quite a bit – except for Notre Dame football…but that is ok with us. We are hoping this is “the year” the Bears go all the way so Evan’s first Superbowl is a good one! Go Bears!

October 20, 2006 – Birth classes begin 🙂
More to come…
Poor Amy. No position seems to be comfortable any more. Sitting on the couch is not good, and laying on her back or stomach is out…so it is all about sleeping on her side…which she hates. Only a few more months ;).
Amy is a thin person, always has been and probably always will be. I keep trying to get her to drink milkshakes, eat cheese, anything to pack in the calories, but overall she has not gained much weight. She still does ballet three days a week and walks for exercise….and her metabolism is amazing. Finally though, we had to go shopping for maternity clothes. She is barely fitting into the small (some small articles are still too big), but you can see a tummy now! 😉
It is now week nineteen and after waiting for what seems to be an eternity, Amy finally felt some fluttering in her tummy…the first kicks!
We finally had some luck today and ended up purchasing our nursery furniture. We should have it by October 15th and as soon as it is put in the room, we will send pictures. Of course, we paid for assembly. Our last IKEA purchase was enough to last us for a few months.
It is week twenty-two now and finally I was able to also feel a kick. It is pretty wild, and I cannot imagine what Amy thinks when she knows there is kicking going on in side her!
It is now week twenty and we just found out we are having a boy! I could not go to the appointment with Amy today, but our good friend Susan went for support and they celebrated by going to Portillos…and Susan celebrated by having a goblet of beer.
It is now week eighteen and we are off to NY for my family reunion and for a baby shower thrown by my mother. We received many wonderful gifts and saw some great friends we have not seen in a long time. (Not to mention Amy got to meet almost every teacher I ever had in school). Thanks mom.
It is now week eleven and today at the doctor’s appointment we saw arms and legs, and even a little kick ;)!
