Hi Baby Gabe!

It's been awhile since Grandma's been by to blog on your space. Let's see by now you are about 1 2/3 lb and 14 inches long. About as big as a cucumber!

Right now your Daddy is away for the weekend camping in Lewiston with his family, boy does Mommy miss him. Next year you will get to go camping with them, won't that be fun?



Your Mommy was shopping the other day and
bought these cute hats for you. I really like the brown
bear hat. Can't wait to see you in it.








Here is a picture of you in Mommy's tummy you are 22 weeks old.










Here you are at 26 weeks. Doesn't your Momma look cute?

We have been planning for your Mommy's baby shower and went to register for gifts that your Mommy wants to get at her shower.
I'm not sure what I want to get for her yet.


Only 96 days to go till you get here! Can't wait! Love ya, Baby Gabe!

What a pretty, Momma!

Hello Baby Gabe,



Look at your Momma, she is one pretty lady! That's you in her tummy you are 20 weeks old. You are getting so big. Your Momma is doing good, summer is coming and it has been really hot here so her feet and ankles are starting to get a little swollen.

Your Mommy and Daddy both work really hard they have job's at Fred Meyer, that's a grocery store. Your Mommy works as a manager of the front end at one store, and your Daddy is a manager of the grocery department at another store.

Wednesday, June 3rd, is your Mommy's Birthday, Happy Birthday Mommy! She will be 25 years old.

Daddy cleaned out the spare bedroom last weekend so Mommy and I will start getting it all ready for you.

Love you Baby Boy! Grandma

Hello Baby,
Grandma here!

Mommy and I went shopping yesterday and picked out the theme for your nursery, you guessed it monkey's! They are so cute just like you will be.

Mommy told your Uncle Connor that she was going to have a little boy and he was so excited! He can't wait until he is not the youngest or the smallest anymore.. and he wants to have another little boy to play with.




Here is your mommy at 18 weeks and 1 day you are really starting to show now. I haven't heard Mommy complain about any morning sickness lately so she is feeling better. Now she is getting swollen ankles already! I say it's her new shoes but she doesn't think so.

Love You Baby Boy!

Grandma

Good afternoon baby,
It's mommy and I just thought that I would stop by to tell you a few things that me and your daddy learned at our ultrasound yesterday. You are still officially a boy!!! yay!! Your stubborn just like your mommy! and like your daddy you seem to be a little lazy :-)
Despite the great efforts of the ultrasound tech you just didn't feel like cooperating yesterday. You wouldn't uncross your arms from in front of your chest so that she could look at your heart to make sure it was healthy. You wouldn't roll over, move, or wiggle despite how much she poked and wiggled my stomach. You were quite content just lying there using mommy's placenta as your pillow and sleeping the 45 min we were there away. You did move an arm here and a leg there and you did roll over one time only to make the tech's job a little harder but it's okay because you gave mommy and daddy a good giggle with all your subborness :-)

More Photos From The Ultra Sound

Good Morning Sweet Baby,

Below are some more of the pictures from when your Mommy and I went to the Ultra Sound.

The picture below is of your Mommy and you at 17 weeks old, you are about 5 inches long and weigh about 5 ounces.

I was instructed by Mommy that we couldn't say you were a boy until after her Ultra Sound on the 18th to confirm. Turns out this rule is only for Grandma and not Mommy we went shopping the other day and she bought a little outfit (boy outfit) for you and another one yesterday.

She is getting so excited a couple of days ago she thought that she felt you move around inside her.

Love you! Grandma

Ultra Sound Visit With Your Mommy

Hi Baby,



I went to the doctor with your Mommy last Friday, May 1st, I got to listen to your heartbeat and the doctor checked out Mommy to make sure everything was ok. After that the doctor sent us over to get an Ultra Sound which is a picture of you when your inside Mommy. We took one look at this picture and thought, it's a boy! We go back to the doctor on the May 18th and have another Ultra Sound which will conifrm it for sure. Stay tuned my little Gabriele...

To My Soon To Be Grandbaby,

This is your Grandma Linda, I am your Mommy's Mom and also mom to your Uncle Ian who is 14 and your Uncle Connor who is 9.

Your mommy's name is Christine she is 24 years old she was born on June 3, 1984 and your daddy's name is Jesse he is 27 years old and was born on May 25, 1981.

I am starting this journal so when you are older you can come back and read about what it was like before you came along.

Your mommy and daddy first found out they were going to have a baby when your mommy took a pregancy test on February 8th (which by the way happens to be my birthday) and it was positive. Her first doctor's appointment was on March 9th. She has got to hear your hear beat 3 times now. This has made her very happy! She loves to hear your heart beat and even recorded it on her phone.






This is a picture of your mommy when she is 12 weeks pregnant with you.


She has been feeling really tired and has had some morning sickness. You got to take your very first trip to Las Vegas!


This is a picture of your mommies tummy when she is 15 weeks pregnant with you.

Your mommy is still feeling tired she has had some morning sickness but not as much. Last Sunday she told me it had been 3 whole days since she has gotten sick.

Your mommy and daddy have a doctor's appointment on May 18, 2009 and they will find out whether you are going to be a little girl or a little boy. We are very excited to find out.

That's all for now.

Love Grandma
