Definitely a Thackeray!

Sawyer was quite stubborn throughout the whole session. He DID NOT want to move his hands from his face! And when the technician thumped on my stomach to get him to move this is was his response...



....Hint: His hand was still in front of his face.

I guess we'll let the gesture slide for now.

Big yawn. They had me eat and drink caffeine before coming in to make sure he'd be active during the session. You'd think he'd be bouncing all over the place after a huge chocolate bar and Mountain Dew, but he wasn't. The technician had me jumping and skipping around all over the room trying to get him to move, and all he did was mock us... yawning the whole time :)

Baby Thackeray

These are the ultrasound photos that were taken when we were 19 weeks. There's really only one that turned out well ("well" meaning one in which he doesn't look like a fish or extraterrestrial).

New Family, New Blog

Slade and I live in Liberty, Missouri. We were married last year and couldn't be happier! I wanted to start a blog because we enjoy looking at others' all the time and would like to keep family and friends updated without having to post on Facebook for the world to see! Now for the update...

Warm weather is finally here and we are so excited! Our favorite thing to do when it gets warm is to take friends out on the lake in our little boat to go tubing and wakeboarding. We've already been out once even though the water was still quite cold :)

We are 24 weeks pregnant now, due August 18th! Expecting a boy and his name will be Sawyer Slade Thackeray. It's been a great pregnancy so far (not that I would know differently) and he's kicking up a storm in there! Slade and I are really excited to meet him, but won't be getting baby stuff until the last minute because I know I'd drive myself crazy having the stuff and no baby to go with it yet. I will post ultrasound pictures soon!
