Baby's 1st Kick! (19 weeks)

I felt the baby move for the first time today!! It was about 7:30am and I had just woken up. All of a sudden I felt a soft fluttering in my stomach. At first I thought my stomach was just acting up, but then the kicking became more defined. Jerome was away on trial in Alaska so I called him and told him the exciting news.

Los Abuelos Get Together For The First Time After Finding Out They're Grandparents

My parents flew out to Denver for St. Patrick's Day. We spent the weekend exploring downtown Denver, navigating Babies "R" Us and hanging out with Rosemary & Guillermo.

Classic "Frank Moment": My parents and I spent most of Saturday in Babies "R" Us. My dad disappeared while my mom and I checked out strollers, car seats etc. As my mom and I debated which stroller seemed best, my suddenly dad started spitting out safety and reliability stats. Astounded, we turned around and found him holding Consumer Reports on Baby Gear!! It was a classic Frank moment and we proceeded to complete the baby registry with my Dad and consumer reports in tow.
