We're back! We apologize that it's been a good 9 weeks since we last posted...hope this'll make up for the lack of blogging the past couple of months! Most of you (if not just about ALL of you!) know by now that we are indeed having a baby Maya! Shauna's intuition was right on, along with the majority of you voters out there...those who voted correctly win a free egg roll! Just send a self-addressed stamped envelope and await your good fortune! This is Maya's most recent glamour shot...for those of you who aren't yet fluent in sonogramese, this is Maya's head. She is looking at the camera, and flaunting her beautiful smile! By the looks of it, Maya has Shauna's chin, Matt's eyes, and a really scary nose, but that's because the sonogram cannot accurately depict cartilage...phew!
We continue to be lucky, healthy, and happy as the pregnancy nears its final trimester. All the doctor's visits have gone smoothly so far, and our luck was turned in an unexpected direction when Matt's hospital changed insurance carriers this month. We now have a wonderful doctor in New Jersey, and will be delivering here in NJ, as well. This means no more delivering a baby in the Lincoln Tunnel, and no more sneezing due to CATS IN THE WAITING ROOM OF MY DOCTOR'S OFFICE! Maya is a well-oiled kicking machine. Most recently, she kicked Matt in the ear after we read that if he put his ear to my stomach he might be able to hear the heartbeat. We haven't tried again since. Seeing our family at Christmas was also amazing, as it made Maya all the more human to us (probably since she got more presents than we did!). The past weeks really made us realize that we are bringing Maya into a wonderful family, and a day doesn't pass that we aren't thankful for the life that we have, and the life we are about to experience.
Wishing you all a wonderful start to 2009! Our New Year's Resolution? Update the blog again before Maya is born!!
xo,
Matt and Shauna
