Lucy is just waking up.

Update

We had an awesome baby named Lucy Jett, got married, and are now moving into our second apartment as a family! Our kid is now 6 months old and growing like a weed. We love her and every little tiny thing she does from cooing to farting we love it all! From here on out, we're going to try to document her growing moments with our new camcorder for your viewing pleasure. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

I have lost my mind!

Hello all! I just want everyone to know after I became pregnant I lost my mind! Everytime I type anything I double check and I have mispelled almost every word. But that is not all, I forgot my left from my right and just today I washed my hair with bodywash instead of shampoo! I also lose everything I pick up. If anyone has any idea as to where I left my brain please let me know!

thanks,
Liz

Liz totally realized that we posted a sonogram picture and didn't write anything about it. So, here you go. That's our baby. Actually this picutre is at 8 weeks, 6 days and we're in the 12th week, so the little chicken mcnugget you see below is even bigger now!
Coolest part about the songram: we're looking at the baby on the screen who is just chilling out in Liz's belly as still as possible. Then all of a sudden, the kid starts dancing! I'm thinking it was a prototype for either "the robot" or "the lawnmower". Only time will tell, but the important thing is that our kid is already a dancer. The rest should be easy, right?

Check out the belly on mommy here. The first picture was taken a month ago and the second one was taken today. Amazing how quick this all happens! Before we know it, the kid will be breakin' on the kitchen floor.

Engaged!

As the title of this blog would let you believe...we got engaged this weekend!

Liz and I went down to Austin this weekend to visit our friends Marc and Aimee and their son Harrison. I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to propose, since we had a really fun, romantic weekend there when we first started dating.

About two weeks ago, I ordered the ring, which is a really cool, antique ring that we found at a vintage clothing store in Austin the first time we hung out there. It's been killing me to keep it a secret, even for two weeks, but I managed.
The setting: A cool little brunch joint called Cisco's, which we also ate at during that same weekend. I called ahead to get the same table that we sat at the first time, although when we got there, there were two dudes sitting there, so we sat at the adjacent table. Once those guys left, I insisted that we switch tables, but I was nervous that Liz would think something was up. Turns out she already knew what was about to happen (she had seen the ring box in my pocket when we walked into the restaurant).
Anyway, as I nervously scarffed down my food and stumbled over my speech, Liz's eyes started to get bigger and bigger and her giggling got more and more intense. Still fumbling through my words, Liz says, "here, let me help you out" as she extended her hand out in my general direction. I then dropped to one knee and popped the question....finally.
Liz was so excited about the ring, she forgot to answer the question! But a few moments later she gave me a resounding "Maybe!"......
.....No, just kidding. She said yes, and then gushed over the ring some more.

So there you have it! We're gittin' hitched! Although we still don't know when yet.

We'll keep you posted.

Pregnancy updates

Well...Liz is still pregnant, so that's good news. Things seemed a little dicey in the beginning, but smoothed out in the last couple of weeks....as far as the baby's potential health is concerned. Liz on the other hand....well, that's another story.
I think our baby is some sort of human incarnation of Barney from the Simpsons because I've never heard belches like the ones Liz is producing. I really feel bad. It honestly looks (and sounds) like it physically hurts. Preggy pops ain't got nothin' on our baby's gas and poor Liz is taking the brunt of it. Amazingly enough, through all the gas, nausea, headaches, stomache aches, bad dreams, etc., etc. etc., Liz still manages to laugh, make me laugh, and have a positive attitude overall. Oh, and she's pretty cute too. God bless her....I love her.

Early observations on pregnant women:
They are scary.....but pretty damn cool.
