Appt #2

Just a quick update! Went to our doctors appt last week and had our sono. The baby looked good but didnt cooperate with pictures. The doctor was looking for defects of any kind, and to check for downs syndrome or trisomy 13 or 18. To check he needed to measure the back of the babies neck. The baby was really active but would not turn around for the measurement. So we will have to go back in the next week or two to have the scan redone. Already stubborn:) But he was able to tell us that there were four chambers in the heart and that there was no gastroschesis , which is great as well. So we were really happy to see the baby again, but we didnt get any good pictures. I apparently have a big fibroid tumor that grows with pregnancy hormones so it was hard to see the baby. We will have to continue to monitor the tumor to make sure it doesnt interfere with the babies growth . Our regular doctor appt is tuesday of this next week and im sure to learn more details about the tumor at this appt. So here is the only picture we have, we joke because it looks like the baby is wearing a mask. I promise to post a better picture after our next sono. Everything else is going great, we are looking forward to seeing everyone for the holidays. We plan on decorating the house for the first time and I am so excited. Happy early Thanksgiving to everyone.

Our Little Big News!!!

Brad and I have some exciting news to announce. On September 26 th we offically found out we are having our first baby. We are so excited and yet nervous at the same time. We are about to enter a new stage in our lives and we are so glad we have such good friends and family to be able to share this time with. We told our parents quickly after we found out and announced to our friends the news on Halloween night. We are currently at about 11 weeks and so far doing great. Some sickness and really tired but looking forward to feeling better I hope in the next few weeks. We had our first doctors appointment at 8 weeks and saw the baby for the first time. Everything was great at our first appointment and next friday we have an appt. to have a scan done to check to make sure the baby is progressing as it should. We are praying that everything again looks good. Since most people know I am a NICU nurse , I worry about everything. Life is fragile and I work daily with children who have struggled to be alive. So each day am so grateful for a healthy growing baby. I know God has an amazing plan for Brad and I , so here we are along for the greatest ride of our lives.

Here is the first picture of our Little Baby Warren #1

Its hard to tell what everything is in the picture. But I promise to post a better sono picture from the next appointment this next weekend. We hope everyone is doing great and we will keep you updated on the pregnancy as it progresses.

Halloween 2009

We are sorry for the delay in posting the last few weeks. It has been extremely busy around our house. We did have a great Halloween this year hosting our first party at the new house. Kristen and Bobby McNulty went in with us to host a Halloween themed party. We had such a great time. We had a costume and a pumpkin carving contest and tons of Halloween related food and drinks. We ended up getting to see alot of our friends and some of the costumes were so funny. Costume contest winners were Kami and Darin with there JUNO costumes. And the winner of the Pumpkin Carving was BOB's group with baby delivery pumpkin. This year we dressed Emma and Riley up for fun as well, and lets just say they completed our costume. Brad and I were Bacon and Eggs and Riley was the pig and Emma was the Chicken. My favorite picture of the night was with Emma dressed up in her costume drinking and eating ice out of the blow up coffin cooler. So here are a few pics from the weekend.
