Karl's New Best Friend

Karl met Bobby Bowden, head coach of the Florida State University football team when they flew into RDU for the NC State vs. FSU game.

Furniture has arrived...looks like a complete house now!

We finally got the furniture we ordered from High Point, NC, "furniture capital of the world," back in August. It is so great to finally have stuff on our first floor! It felt so empty walking in to all the open space!

14 weeks!

The first trimester is over with! I am hoping that I may have been blessed with a calm, easygoing baby because I have had a calm, easygoing pregnancy so far. The doctor said this past Friday that it seems like I am having a normal, boring pregnancy. I told her I would take boring over anything right now. Of course, for Karl and me, not a single day of this pregnancy has been boring! I am constantly reading about Baby Bayer's development and daily belly growth checks have become routine. It seems like my belly popped out almost right away! Does this mean a big baby like Karl was???? I have a picture of my belly from 3 weeks ago but will wait and add a picture on here when Karl has a moment to take another pic. We heard the heartbeat for the first time at this past appointment. It was a nice, strong, steady 150 beats per minute! We are scheduled to find out if Baby Bayer is a boy or girl on November 30th! Anyone else want to throw their predictions in???
