Baby Lentivech (20ish week Ultrasound)

After a bit of a delay (John getting stuck in LA for another day... ) we finally got to see our little pumpkin.  It was such an amazing experience..... of course... this is our child so it did not cooperate with the Ultrasound Tech at ALL!  The scan took about double the normal time, the baby hid under my belly button then wouldn't turn so they could check it's heart.  I had to get up in the  middle and move around to try and get our little one to cooperate... which finally it did (on it's own time schedule of course) and the tech said the baby is healthy and is right where it needs to be with size and development.

Now the best part- our pictures!!!!

I had to do a self portrait of the tummy as Daddy was in LA, but it shows Baby L :)
I don't look as big as most would imagine, but that is because it is all on the backside... ha! And that is not just me being sensitive, Johnny agrees and has no problem telling me it.. haha!

Baby L!!!!!!! The fist pumping action is a result of the Tech annoying our child and the baby pushing back... yeah.. stubborn already!

A little closer... 

The baby's face can actually be seen... which amazed both of us.... because the Tech kept pointing out things on the screen and both John and I would nod and mumble... "oh yeah".. but in all honesty... we couldn't tell what the heck we were looking at.. haha.  It is not as easy as you would think :)

We didn't find out the sex (which I know shocks most of you as both John and I normally can't wait for anything.. haha).   We figure there are so few real surprises in life... and this will definitely be one of the most amazing!!!  Although John is still teasing me that when I left the room they told him.. haha...

Based on the pics, what do you think??? 

**SNOW DAY**

It started on Christmas night and this was our special day after Christmas treat.... kinda reminds us of the great white North.. haha!

 Bella ventured out this morning before it got too deep... she is such a snow cat, we had trouble getting her to want to come back in.. ha!

 Craig and I put on our snow gear and went for a walk around the neighborhood... he wanted a picture of his car covered in snow (note my hubby is still inside in the nice warm house.. haha)

The Hilton Pier ...

 Craig's perfect Snowball.... (which took him 20 minutes of packing to create)

Sophia the SNOWDOG....

 Bruno- poor guy was having trouble finding the snowball we threw at him....

Cleo DOES NOT like playing in the snow with Sophie..... poor Cleo.. all Sophie does is pounce on her....

We kept telling Sophie.... if you keep eating snow, you might end up looking like this forever.

Merry Christmas!!

Ma & Puck were in town for a couple days  and so we ventured out to Babies-R-Us... haha.... this child still has some time in the cooker, but we will be ready when it decides to make its appearance.

A Chrismas present for the baby from Grandma L---appropriate as she is already making and buying things :)

This is the first outfit that Mamma helped pick out... I made it 4 1/2 months without buying anything, which is pretty good for me.. haha!  I was in love with this and as soon as I saw it while shopping  and so when  I walked away Grandma L bought it for the baby.

And the little bootie.......

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE LENTIVECH FAMILY!!!

Holiday Festive 2010

This Saturday we had our 4th annual Holiday Festive Party! Family and friends joined us for some tacky holiday fun.  

A little blurry, but tacky outfits are there in full force.

                                            Sarah and Chris in their holiday festive gear.

                        THE GIRLS!! This should be sent to awkward family photo website.. hehe!

                                                 Craig's outfit, elf hat :) - taken prior to party.

                                      Craig after the party.... and yes, he is asleep on the dog bed.

Shopping Trip to Richmond

I had a urge to go to Short Pump and was able to convince my Mom Mom and Aunt B to go with me :) It was a great trip and I got lots of ideas for the baby's room from Pottery Barn for Kids... poor John,  he has no idea what he is in for with the painting I want.. haha...... Although I didn't get many pics of our adventures....  I did get one of Mom Mom with her many purchases.  OK- maybe some of the bags where ours........

First Pic of the Peanut

Although both John and I think our little one looks like a blob in this pic, we thought we would share it :) .... it was our 9 week ultrasound pic.  (the thing between the two "x" marks would be baby Lentivech)

Engaged!!!!

Family news is important..... and we have some BIG NEWS from my sister!

Last Saturday night we got a call that Sarah and Chris are engaged!  Congrats!!!!

(John of course says that he can provide Chris with a lot of advice about marrying into the RICHMOND family.... ha... Chris- call him if you like,  we will of course deny EVERYTHING)
