Yeppers, today is St. Patty's Day! This is one of Can's all time FAVORITE holidays! Next year we'll have to definitely go out and celebrate with green beer, but this year we might play it low key and maybe just go out for a bite to eat or something. Haven't really decided yet.
Can has been doing a little better with food (sort of) although I feel bad cause she tosses and turns in bed and has trouble sleeping and is up every hour. Poor thing.
Ok, so lets jump ahead 3 months and have this baby born so we can actually hold it and have it stop pressing on Can's insides!!! hee hee...
I can't wait! We listened to the heartbeat again last night and the little one kicked and kicked and you could hear it on the doppler. Thats a cool experience!!!
Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!

Happy Anniversary to US!
Yup...it is our Anniversary TODAY! This will be the last year as 'just us' and we have more love entering our lives in 101 days! We have had so many beautiful chapters in out lives and it is lovely to think it will only get better from here. Mwah! I Love you DADDY TIMMY!
I am 25 weeks and 4 days today! A week and a half left (10 days) until my third trimester!
Here is whats going on this week!
Your Baby Week 26
Your baby weighs just under 2 pounds (850g) and could possibly survive if delivered now. Your baby measures approximately 9.2 inches (23cm) from crown to rump.
He is growing fast and gaining weight now. His skin is less transparent and is becoming opaque as fat builds up.
Your baby's heart is beating 120 to 160 beats per minute, as you have already heard at several doctor or midwife visits.
Until now, your baby's eyes have been sealed shut, but he reopens them this week. The eyes are almost fully formed and the retinas contain all the layers they will have when your baby is born. Your baby's eyes are blue right now, no matter the ethnic origin or eye-color of you and your partner since eyes do not acquire their final color until months after birth.
Your baby is lean right now, but is getting fatter all the time as fat is being deposited. Your baby's skin is getting thicker and paler and is becoming less red and wrinkled as more fat is deposited.
Your baby has eyebrows, eyelashes and fingernails, though all are short and need to grow more.

sittin' in the basement...
Rockin' out with the pups and kitties. Candace is starting to feel better and better nausea wise, but she is getting more and more uncomfortable baby wise. I can't imagine what it would be like to carry a baby around in my tummy for 9 months. Wow. If I could take an ounce of the pain and put it on me, I would. She looks so beautiful. She glows.
We are going to see the Crue tomorrow night. It should be pretty rockin'. I need to find some earplugs....ha ha... The baby will rock out, I'm sure!
I've been recording some new riffs and stuff and I'm working on a song for the baby to put as background music for the DVD that we are getting at the 3D ultrasound. But for some reason my laptop ticks every 5 seconds and it comes thru on the recording....ugghhh...

16 weeks to go...
Well, we had a bit of a scare yesterday. I actually had a little false labor, but all is OK now. I have some antibiotics and it should make me all better. I was hooked up to a little fetal monitor and we heard the baby's little heartbeat and all his movements. His heart rate was around 150. Now I am fighting a wicked cold right now...so it is back to bed rest for me.
"Your Baby This Week (Week 25)
Your baby now weighs around 1.5 lbs (700g), and measures about 8.8 inches (22cm) from crown to rump, but this varies from baby to baby.
Your doctor should be able to hear your baby's heartbeat, using a stethoscope or Doppler ultrasound device. If your partner puts his ear right on your belly in the right position, he might even be able to hear it unaided if there is no background noise.
Your baby sleeps and wakes in a more regular pattern now. You may notice that your baby is particularly active when you are resting.
The center of your baby's bones are beginning to harden.
If your baby is a boy, the testes will start to descend into the scrotum now. If your baby is a girl, the vagina will begin to hollow out and mature now.
Your baby can make a fist now and may already have a preference for the right or left hand.
With modern medical technology, your baby would have a chance to survive if it were born now."

Growing, Growing, Growing...
WOW, how amazing it is to look down and see your belly move because there is a baby inside! It is an experience I can't really put into words. And now Tim got to see and feel the little kicks...so amazing. So as some of you all know...our Roo might be named Tyler Christopher...but I am not sure, cause what if he does not look like a Tyler...you know? BUT...everytime Tim talks to my belly, and he says Tyler...he gets a BIG KICK. He seems to respond to it...hmmm, so much to think about. heehee
My belly is growing...Almost overnight it happened. About a week and a half ago, we went to our friends Craig and Lisa's to play some poker :) Lisa said she thought my belly would be bigger. I thought so too, but this boy was hanging out in the low zone. I looked more like I was packing some pounds...heehee Then Monday I woke up with this belly! IT was so funny. Tim even noticed. It seems like each week it gets bigger. I can't imagine how much bigger I can get! I have 16 weeks of growing to do! You know that pregnancy is actually like 10 months!!!
Ahhh shopping for baby...I love looking at little baby clothes. I pick up an outfit here and there, and sometimes I go in Roo's lil closet and just look at all the clothes. Almost like I am dreaming. I wonder what he will look like, act like...what his little hugs will feel like. I am so in love. I can't wait to meet our boy.
Here is whats going on this week :)
Your Baby Week 24
"Your baby is now about 8.4 inches from crown to rump (21cm) and weighs about 1.2 pounds (530g).
Your baby's face and body now look more like a full-term baby. She now looks close to how she will look at birth.
The eyes, though they are still closed, are now close together on the front of the face and the ears are in their finished position. Eyelashes are fairly well-developed and hair is growing on your baby's head.
Your baby's movements are becoming more restricted now as she fills up the uterus more. Cartwheels and somersaults inside the amniotic sac are no longer possible, but she can still hold the umbilical cord and touch and feel around her. Though your baby is already living in tight quarters in the amniotic sac, she will soon have even less room to move around.
Her vital organs are now quite mature. However, since the lungs are not yet fully formed, your baby would have breathing problems if born prematurely at this stage.
Your baby is becoming increasingly conscious of the world outside and may feel startled when you are startled.
Your baby may alternate between having very active and very calm periods that you can feel.
Your baby may have facial expressions such as frowning, squinting and pursing of the lips. "
XOXOX to Daddy Tim...
Love to all!

Gimme a K! Gimme an I! Gimme a C! Gimme a K!...
What's that spell?
KICK! duh!
ha ha...
So this morning Can was laying in bed and I was brushing my teeth when I hear this "COME HERE! COME HERE!" So I come running into the bedroom and what do I see? The baby was kicking and moving and flipping and I could see it ALL!!! It was a very touching and amazing experience because even though we've heard the heartbeat and we have a sonogram, this just made it a little more real. Probably more than anything. It was awesome because it was so easy to see the baby moving. Wow. I'm gonna be a father. Wierd. I can't wait. Only 4 months to go.
T-Dad out and off to bed...

Growing a baby (the inside scoop)
Ok, so I don't have the INSIDE inside scoop, but I know that my boy has been leaning on Can's left side and has been putting her in some serious pain. Poor girl, I wish there was something I could do. The doctor put her on bedrest yesterday. She was trying to move the baby out of its position so it would stop leaning on her left side, but I don't think she had any luck.
We ended the evening with listening to the little one's heartbeat. It was pretty loud, so he must have been near the top of her tummy. He was moving all around. The other night we were listening to the heartbeat and he kicked and you could hear the baby kicking on the doppler. It was an awesome experience.
119 days to go, 1 month until the 3rd trimester and 1 month 1 week til the 3D Ultrasound!!!!
Woot!
Hope you feel better Can!

Bonding with my boy...
The most amazing thing happened to me last night. I was playing the little one classical music from my ipod to my belly via headphones. Well normally he moves and dances all around...but last night he was too sleepy. Well...all of a sudden he started moving all around. I checked the ipod to see what song we were on so I could play it again...and it was me singing an acoustic song. It was the sweetest thing ever. He was dancing to me! How incredible is that. I cried and cried. I am in love with this little being. How blessed and lucky am I....
MWAH!

Holy Pele' Batman!
Last night I felt the baby kick for the first time. We were laying on the couch watching tv and Can said the baby was kicking. So I got up and talked to him and put my hand on her stomach and darn if he didn't give a big ole kick. Not those little flutters, but a big kick that I could finally feel. It made Candace jump!
It was so cool and a milestone, but I still can't wait to see him and hold him. Then the realization will set in.

Almost to the 23rd week!
Yup, I am just about 22 weeks down...18 weeks to go!
Our little boy Roo is moving around lots and lots...esp. when I lay down to rest. Tim talked to my belly on Heart day and our boy gave him a big kick. Not sure if his daddy felt it, but I sure did. It is amazing to be able to kinda communicate with a little baby growing inside. What a beautiful miracle.
So many of our friends are having little girls (Congrats) Melanie, Suzanne, Sharon, and Theresa! So far we have the only little boy. Babies are so sweet. I can't wait to meet them all! Don't know what Melissa L., Melissa G., Kelly (due soon!), Lisa (Ashes), and Nancy are having yet! I can't wait! What a fun little play group for our little ones, eh?!
Here is whats going one with the littel boy in the coming week (23)
Your Baby Week 23
"Your baby now weighs almost 1 lb (450g) and measures about 8 inches (20cm) from crown to rump. (I heard almost the size of a Barbie Doll)
He is becoming plumper as her fat is being laid down at a high rate, but his skin is still wrinkled and reddish. The wrinkled and loose appearance of his skin is due to the faster production of his skin than the fat that fills it out. The reddish appearance of his skin is due to the deposition of pigment as his skin loses its translucent appearance.
Your baby can kick and punch vigorously by now, but he may also be gently feeling the umbilical cord and rubbing his hands and face against the inside membrane of the amniotic sac that holds him.
He is still swallowing amniotic fluid (which provides an important nutritional supplement to the nutrition he gets from you via the placenta) and is passing some of it as urine. (Aw...he tinkles) The swallowing of the amniotic fluid may cause your baby to get the hiccups and you may even be able to feel this as his body jumps inside yours.
The lanugo hair on your baby's body may turn darker at this time. "
Quite interesting and AMAZING!
Love to all...thanks for reading!

Ok....
So I've come to the conclusion that Candace is NOT going to eat dirt, no matter what brand I buy. But I'm ok with that, really. It's not like I can go to Chili's and get chips and quesadirtas.
Or...
Pasta al Dirte'.
But, on to other things...
Candace was right when she said that Babies R' Us is a HUGE and overwhelming store. We walked in and I felt completely lost. It was one of those times where you wish your mom was there so she could tell you what you are gonna need...ugghhh....
But we managed and picked out stuff for our registry and hopefully we'll have a really cool room for Tyler (thats his name at the moment, but don't count on that until he is here and its official! We still have 4 months! ha ha) when he is born. Of course I still want more safety stuff, but what can ya do?
I just picked up a Line6 Flextone III Plus from American Musical and I must say I dig the sound. I've been playing my guitar in the basement now for about 3 weeks straight, every single night. That says something, cause when I was in the band, I only played when we had practice. Its like I've found this new inspiration. I have the 4 track recorder down there and a stereo with CD player so I can play along to CDs and record new riffs and songs when the inspiration hits me. Which surprisingly, has been hitting me often. I don't think I've come up with a riff since Impress, but I'm a jammin' fool down there lately. I'm gonna make the stuff into songs and put some lyrics and stuff to it all and hopefully post it somewhere sometime in the near future.
...Can't wait for my Dave Navarro PRS....
Only 6 months to go...
:)
Happy Valentine's Day!
I think this is one of the best I've ever had in my entire life. I love you Candace!

The Babies R Us KINGDOM...We started our registry!
IT was soooooooooo overwhelming! Tim and I walked in and our eyes buldged. This place has EVERYTHING... We decided to walk around and take a look first. Tim with the 'consumers guide' manual and me with my jaw still dropped we started our venture. Now, you have to understand..I am the worst at making a decision...and now I have a WORLD of choices. Poor Tim. Rather humorous. heehee Well, once we got a look...we headed over to the registry table. The little lady looked as overwhelmed as we were. She said weekends were the worst. I think almost every pregger person we didn't know was in the building. She started our quick little orientation with a few other couples and gave us a little scanner gun. We headed off to the safety section. Of course with my dear husband, we spent a lot of time here ::wink:: Tim with his consumer guide, made sure that our house will be the safest environment for out little Roo. It was cute. We walked around, picked out a Pack and Play, highchair and stroller. I LOVE the little pattern...it is like a dark grey with light blue plaid. Awww. We picked out other stuff and we found the bedding, it has little airplanes on it. So cute. We have a sweet little wish list. The cool thing is everyone can see our little list on the internet and in Babies R Us and Toys R Us as well as Amazon.com...pretty cool!
So...I am in my 22nd week! 21 weeks and 2 days today! Tim is taking baby boy Roo and me to 'Disney on Ice' tonite for Valentine's Day!!!
Happy Heart Day a day early!!!

Just about 21 weeks down!!!
That means 19 weeks to go! We had another ultrasound today. Our boy showed off his "special purpose" once again. There is no mistakin now...we got ourselves a little fella. He was waving at us and blowing bubbles. He was sucking on his thumb for a second. PRECIOUS! It is so amazing how a real little life is growing in my belly. What a beautiful miracle. 1 month and 3 weeks until we get out 3D ultrasound. I can't imagine having a window like that to see our little miracle more clearly! Roo sure is a precious little boy.
So Timmy thinks I am gonna eat dirt...hardly! heehee I don't really have any cravings. I am scared that it is gonna hit me and I will be this out of control Momma Monster looking for something awful and gross to eat. NO WAY! I won't let it. I am too picky...that can never happen! The biggest craving I think so far was peaches. I think I am over that now.
So here is the update for what is going on with the baby next week :)
"Your Baby Week 22
Your baby measures about 7.6 inches (19cm) from crown to rump and weighs about 12.25 ounces (350g).
Eyebrows have developed.
His digestive system now functions in a rudimentary manner. Undigested amniotic fluid passes into his bowel which he will eventually excrete after birth. Your baby can suck and swallow and may even suck his thumb.
Your baby's senses are increasing, especially his sense of touch. He can feel his face and stroke his arms and legs. "
Love to Daddy!
MWAH!

"With the thoughts you'd be thinkin''...
K, so I get these emails that Can has setup to explain what is going on with the baby every week. It's so awesome to read this stuff. The little one has TASTE BUDS now! How cool is that!?
BUT....
This email also explains stuff that is going on with the mommy's body. It says that cravings can start about this time. And get THIS! It says some women crave SOIL!
SOIL!
WHAT WHAT WHAT!?!?!?!?!?
I told Can I am NOT going out and buying her a bag of expensive topsoil to munch on, if she wants to eat dirt she can eat the stuff that's in our backyard. I mean heck, isn't that the reason why we have a backyard, in case someone feels like eating the DIRT!?!??
???
T-Dad out (and really confused... but not buying dirt for dinner.)

Gimme an H. Gimme an E. Gimme an A...
What's that (start to) spell? HEADACHE! Ugghhh. My head is pounding. Just took 4 Ibuprofen. Hopefully that'll fix whatever is wrenched in my stupid head. Had a great party for Alexis last night. She turned 15. Watch out world this little girl is GROWING UP QUICK!!! I remember meeting her for the first time 9 years ago and she was 6 years old (maybe 7) and she was SCARED of me. I looked kinda scary though cause I had a beard and goofy moustache. Anyway, we went to the aquarium and I must say, I won her over by falling down the escalator in front of the entire aquarium. But hey, you gotta do what you gotta do.
Listened to the heartbeat with everyone last night. The little one was jus sitting there, heartbeat pounding away. It's such an awesome feeling, but it STILL hasn't sunk in yet.
Got the ultrasound Friday morning. Stay tuned for pictures.
Love you Can!

Starting our week 20!!!
Almost halfway there! In one week we get to see our little person! Pregnancy, while not easy, is starting to be fun FUN. I know when Roo sleeps, I know when Roo is moving around. I feel kicks now. It is sooo cool! We are really lucky, blessed to have our own little angel.
My little sister signed our guestbook. She is precious. Check it out.
Our Roo this week...
"Your baby weighs about 9 ounces (260g) and measures about 5.6 to 6.4 inches (14 to 16cm) from crown to rump.
Her skin is thickening and developing multiple layers- the epidermis and the dermis, or deeper layer, where it will form fat. Your baby is now also developing a waxy protective coating for her skin called vernix caseosa. The vernix protects your baby's skin which is continuously submersed in amniotic fluid. Vernix, which is particularly thick around the eyebrows is held in place by tiny downy hairs called lanugo.
Your baby can now grip with her fists. Toenails and scalp hair are growing.
At this point, it may be possible to determine the baby's sex by ultrasound, if the baby cooperates, but the ultrasound technician will rarely guarantee the sex based on the ultrasound results as mistakes are often made at an early ultrasound.
You can hear the baby's heartbeat with a Doppler ultrasound device or a stethoscope."
MWAH!

Well well well...
seems we have a little soccer player on our hands. Candace felt the baby kicking yesterday for the first time. It was so cool. She was all like "GET OVER HERE AND FEEL THIS!" but unfortunately I couldn't feel it. It must be a strange feeling to have someone growing inside of you and so awesome to know that you are bringing this life into the world. I can't imagine and honestly it still hasn't sunk in yet, but our lives are changing drastically. ...for the better.
I can't wait to have a little one calling me daddy and depending on me to do stuff for them. It's a great feeling, but still scary at the same time.
We are scheduling a 3D ultrasound probably in March and have our regular ultrasound in February. I'll post pics once we get everything back. I'll even put some of the DVD up of the 3D ultrasound....
Can is feeling a little better. She can actually go into the kitchen and cook stuff without getting sick. And let me tell you, she's been cooking up some AWESOME dinners BOOOY!
Gotta go gotta go...

18 wks 3 days - 1st real kicks!!!!
I felt the first REAL kicks today. There was no mistaking it. Roo kicked me 3 times right under my belly button. I have had the flutters for a couple weeks, but this was some kicking!!! It was AMAZING! I can't explain what it feels like to have a real life growing inside of me. What an amazing miracle!
