Lovely Sunday

Spent this morning baking a blueberry buckle - which we devoured! - and perusing the JFX Farmers Market for some yummy finds. I just mostly sampled bread =)

19 Weeks, almost halfway there!

Also here's the link for the recipe for the Blueberry Buttermilk Breakfast Cake - I actually used some old frozen blueberries I had mixed with some fresh blackberries from the market. I'm sure you could use anything in this though, its an amazing recipe!

It's a....

So we were very anxious about finding out the gender of the baby!! I'll put it this way, I'm amazed and appreciate those who can wait the full 40-something weeks to find out...however, I'm a bit of a compulsive planner....so that part of me just couldn't wait! Now mind you, I'm not the type to open Christmas gifts early, but I really wanted to know what this gift would be!

Our ultrasound for the 'mid-pregnancy' point went great and we got to see our little one squirming and kicking around in there. Haven't felt any of the kicks yet, but SHE was such a busy bee! That's right, we'll be thrilled to welcome a little girl into our family this December. We even got to see her sucking her thumb during the ultrasound, which was truly amazing. Hopefully I can post a copy soon, once its scanned, to share! In the meantime, here are some cute onesies I couldn't help but buy...

Loved these!

The Bump Makes it Debut...

So its been a while....and we've been trying to be contain all of our excitement but we are finally ready to debut the little Chai that will be joining our family in December! The past few months have been a whirlwind of activity and just absolute craziness.

First off, let me just say, for those of you that can't do math (like me) this is NOT a Paris baby. (Haha, one of the first questions we got from most people). However, this was definitely part of our 'master plan,' we just didn't think it would happen so quickly! We are unbelievably excited about our news and can't wait to share our joy with all of our family and friends. I've been feeling great and not having any issues (no morning sickness) other than some occasional fatigue. Summer is heating up and I'm grateful that I won't be intolerably pregnant until later in the winter when its nice and cold over here in Baltimore.

Either way, this fall is going to be very very very busy for us. On top of preparing for B.C. (Baby Chai) , Bryan is preparing applications for an Oral Surgery residency - which will take us on our next adventure to some mysterious place next year. We won't know where we are going until January 2013 so we're anticipating quite a bit of stuff this winter.

These past two weeks have been great because my sisters were able to visit and spend some time with us in Baltimore and NYC (for a quick trip!). Enjoy the pics below and stay cool in this awful summer weather!
