Its a Boy!!!








There it is I'm buying Supershakes at the lonsdale treats. I could write how i knew it was a boy the entire time and someone has to cheer for the other team.(but i won't)





So the fun really begins picking out colors for the Baby's room. Blue, green, red, yellow so many fun colors to choose from. Has to be something fun maybe we will paint monkeys on the wall. Funny, i remember when we lived in Wilmington and Stephen and i had jungle wall paper in our room.





Right away the ultra sound tech eliminated the possibility of twins. (whew) ha ha Jay and Jessica. Not that its not cool. Just better you then us. She did however confirm our suspicions that Sara is a little further along then we realized. So we are about 20 weeks. Half way!! Holy cow!! Were already half way.....Deep Breath,.. Deep Breath. I think I'm done freaking out now. Just so many things to do.





The ultra sound was amazing. The amount of pictures she took was incredible. Carefully measuring and remeasuring tiny little leg and arm bones. He definitely has my feet they are huge. That's my boy hes getting so big weighing 12 oz. Amazing to think he weighs as much as your full soda can.





The women also kept mentioning how wonderful and healthy everything looked. I was shocked at how much the little guy was moving around during the test. Although, I have been known to be pretty antsy myself.

And the chapter Began....



What a better day than Mother's Day to begin the Grogg Blog. First, I would like to thank Jay and Jessica for starting the blog idea. What a great way to communicate with everyone, all the fun times we wish you all could be here to share with us. (plus with them leading the way if we didn't i think Grandma Grogg would kick our butts)


We are in what we think is week 18. We thought we were positive until the doc put swooning doubts in our heads. She said that it looked to her like we were more like 20 weeks three weeks ago. And caught us both completely off guard when she thought she was hearing two heart beats and that maybe there were twins. Our jaws both dropped and i think almost simultaneously we both said, Huh?? Being that we already had an ultra sound at 8 weeks she told us we would have to wait until our next ultra sound to find out. Which happens to be tomorrow, so place your bet folks. One or two?? Boy or girl??? I am almost positive its a girl especially with that initial heartbeat at 158. Sara and my mom both agree that its a Boy. We will determine a champion tomorrow. That Hawaiian super shake from the local Lonsdale treats will taste fantastic. Because of course i am right.

I always thought pregnancy cravings consisted of ice cream, doughnuts and Twinkies. Not Sara, Its fruit. Oranges, bananas and strawberries lead the way. There were two or three weeks that i was fortunate enough that it was homemade french bread pizza. (MMMM pizza)

I am also finding out all sorts of fun facts. Did you know the umbilical cord doesn't fall of until after the baby is a couple weeks old. They actually make Diapers with a hole in them. Wow the wonders of Child Birth. Also, i realized I've never even seen a dirty diaper, Let alone changed one. I hear its no big deal, but I'm not looking forward to it.

We are both very excited for this blessing. It will be tough to sleep tonight knowing tomorrow is the big day. Until then.......
