Teddy

This is Teddy (the hairier of the two). Grammy Knapp heard from a friend (and we read it in a book) that Katelyn can hear inside the womb now. So Sunday after church Joe, Shelley (Grammy Knapp) and I went in search of a teddy bear that could play a lullaby for for Katelyn while she’s in the womb so that she can be soothed by it when she is in our arms. It’s a really special gift and we had so much fun picking it out. We ended up at Build a Bear in the mall so we where able to pick the bear and then put the lullaby in Teddy's foot. Joe & I started a routine where we play the lullaby for Katelyn 3 times (its pretty short) and then he lays on my belly and she kicks his face. Just thought I’d share this special gift with you all.

Katelyn Elizabeth Knapp!!!!



Meet Katelyn Elizabeth Knapp. SHE measures just under 20 weeks and is compleatly healthy :)

YEP ITS A GIRL!!!



(Just a bit of clarification as we've had a few people ask already. The arrow in the above photo is pointing to the "Girly Parts" as Emily so delicately put it. So her legs are forming an almost 90 degree angle. Her left leg is right under where it says "Girl?" and her right leg extends down to the bottom of the photo. This is only one of the angles we saw of this area we also saw a view from the top and the "Boy Parts" were definitely absent. I added a photo with some supreme editing skills to hopefully make things more clear. -Joe)


Just the bottoms of the two feet :)



Heart beat strong 150 bpm and you can watch the heart beat!


All five fingers on both hands :)


And legs & toes, she didn't stay put for long though, she was moving all over :)

What she looks like from the outside...20 weeks.We are ecstatic and can't wait to meet our daughter! Only another 20 weeks!

We got a crib!

So my mother-in-law came to visit this weekend and we decided to go "look" at baby stuff today and came home with a brand new crib! We moved the guest bed to the office and started setting up the BABY ROOM!

I feel the baby!!!

I just wanted to let every one know that have started to feel the baby and its amazing! I pretty much realized it for sure (I had wondered for a couple of days) on Thursday night sitting in the living room with friends (after lasagna so I guess the baby likes lasagna). So far it kinda feels like rolling bubbles with occasional jabs. OH OH! And last night i was laying on my back and could feel the baby so i told Joe where to put his hand and he got kicked! It was so cool, he jumped and i screamed "did you feel it!" and it was so cool! Any way, here is a belly pic from this week too, according to the measuring tape I’ve grown 1/2 an inch in the last week & a half :). (We are 18 wks btw)

Our first piece of baby furniture


It’s a pack n play with built in bassinette. We weren’t going to buy anything yet but I drove by a second hand store & fell in love with it J. It looks so cute in our room!
