Dec. 17th 2007

Today we saw Dr. Daniell and he said I was average on size and weight.
We also saw Dr. Mayberry and Stone weighs 2 lbs. and he is 13 inches long.
His arms, legs and feet all look good and his heart rate is 141 beats per minute.
I can definitely tell he is getting very active he moves all the time.
I am now 5 1/2 months pregnant and the painting is finished in the nursery so hopefully we will have a bed this week.

5 Months down!

Well Stone is really starting to Kick alot and I love it. Maybe he will be a soccer player like his mommy. I have finally passed the 5 months mark I am officially 24 weeks pregnant and at some point I am guessing I will not be able to put on my own socks. No I am not huge yet but I am sure the day will come. We just got all of our bedding in this week "Thanks Meme and Papa." Our bed should be here any day now. We have Stone's room partially cleaned out and we are getting ready to paint the walls hang new doors and install a new wooden blind. Since the weather is going to be nasty Sunday maybe we can get alot accomplished. I will try to see if I can figure out how to get pictures from Gregs Mac to my PC I am not doing very good but I promise I will try again. Our next apt. with Dr. Daniell and Dr. Mayberry is Dec.17th.

5 Year's WOW!

Greg and I returned from Vegas on Saturday and we had a good time.
Our 5th Anniv. was a hit we had dinner with the Fisichella's and we had a great day.
Liz Peter and Paulie and I shopped all morning and then I went back to the hotel for a nap. We met up for dinner around 8 at Aureole's it was a really nice restaurant inside of Mandalay Bay then we went to Paul's club called eyecandy and had fun watching people dance. All in all our 5 th Anniversary was a hit.

I saw Dr. Daniell this morning and Stone's heartbeat is 140 and he is growing, well at least my belly is growning. I have had some shortness of breath and Dr. Daniell said just wait it gets worse because my tummy is not big across he has no where to go except out and up. I have started feeling him move and that is really fun also.
I see Dr. Daniell and Dr. Mayberry again on the 17th of Dec.

Such a big miracle in such a little boy!

Stone Bradley Gilbreth McMinn! Wow that is a long name for a little boy.
We are so excited to finally know that we are having a boy. Yesterday was a little crazy we ordered our bed and the dresser and we are waiting on the fabric samples to decide on our bedding. We want to say thanks for keeping us in your prayers yesterday was a fun day. Stone got gifts from Meme and a cute little stuffed dog that Hunter and Harley would have loved to play with and then ultimately destroy.
Pops & Gigi took us to dinner and bought Stone his very first cake with his name on it and Aunt Sharon bought us the cutest shirt that said Mommy to be on it I just loved it. Then we got to Olive Garden and Gigi had a shirt that said Gran Mommy to be. We had a really fun day now the planning and organizing begins. Greg and I will try to post some pictures very soon. My belly is starting to grow Stone is now about 7 inches long and weighs 12 oz.

The really exciting news is Nov. 2nd we will get to see Dr. Mayberry and he will tell us if it is a boy or a girl. I have really enjoyed running these last two weeks and I will continue to run until I am so fat I can't run any longer.

Time for new Jeans!

I am starting to show at least I think I am because I tried on 5 pairs of jeans in my closet and they do not fit. So that will be what I do this weekend find more jeans. I am still feeling good and tomorrow I get to start running or jogging. Hunter and Harley and I have become very good speed walkers so it will be a nice change of pace to get to do a little jogging. We see Dr. Daniel on the 25th for our next sonogram and we are very excited to see the baby again.

I try to name them all but Gramps likes to sell them so fast sometimes I cant keep up. We also got a book called I loved you before you were born that had a CD in it and we will listen to it on our way to Lubbock tomorrow. We are very excited that this is our last trip to Lubbock and we will get to see the hands & feet and check the heart beat again. I am also ready for her to tell me I can start jogging again walking is about to drive me crazy & Hunter & Harley are also ready for a nice slow jog. Thanks Great Gram for the books we love them.
