It's a baby boy!

We are thrilled to announce that Baby Thompson is a Baby Boy! He is healthy and growing exactly as expected. And already he is quite the wiggle worm and the most beautiful thing we have ever seen. Both D and I had a sense that our baby was a "he" but we knew we would be thrilled either way. How funny that our intuition was correct! We can't wait to meet him and are excited for the next phase of planning for his arrival.

The proof is in the pudding!

This past weekend was one filled with great memories and I am still trying to come down from the high of it all. My mom, dad and bro all came into town and even got to join us at our doctor's appointment. And Katie and Jesse even came down from Washington. We had an amazing time eating lots of great food, cooking together, laughing, and just hanging out. It was the perfect Easter celebrating NEW LIFE...now bring on the summer-time fun!

Hi Everyone...

I know I haven't been as good about blogging lately as I would like to be but I am going to try to get better. So here is a little post to just check in...
FAMILY: Baby T., David and I are all doing well - I am currently 18.5 weeks. I have been regularly feeling the little one move around which is just the most miraculous feeling . I find myself sitting still and just taking in the little flutters quite regularly. I love them! As you can see the bump is definitely growing and David is always so cute when he kisses my belly or talks to the baby. Duncan is doing well too...he is my shadow and is taking good care of his pack!

FRIENDS: Our dear friends Peter and Maddie got married on Saturday, April 9th and David and I were honored to be in their wedding party. All of the festivities were a blast and we just couldn't be happier for the two of them as they start their new life together. Love you guys!!
The beaming Groom and Bride - Peter and Maddie

D and I - Proud Groomsman and Bridesmaid!
WORK - THE UPRISE HAS BEGUN: The Trail Blazers are back in the playoffs which is always a fun time. There is such a renewed sense of energy around our team and it makes it so much easier to make it through the work day. We have a great team right now and I am so excited to see how they take on the Mavs in this series... GO BLAZERS!
SPRING: David has been gardening a lot and we are anticipating everything coming to life this summer. We went to the nursery today and got some rhubarb (among other things)! We have never had rhubarb before but hopefully I will be able to make a pie later this summer!

Lastly, we have a big week ahead of us. The Russo clan comes to visit for Easter and I couldn't be more excited. Seeing my family always brightens my spirits. And I rarely get to have the Thompsons, Rices and Russos all together in one spot so it is definetly a special occasion! And to top it all off.....we find out if Baby T is a boy or a girl on Friday. So be sure to check back in the next couple of weeks for the answer to "IT'S A ....."
