Worth the wait...

I know it has been a while since I have posted...no real excuse but here is the main thing we have been up to:

Meet Ethan Wayne Farnsworth!

I wish you all could have seen the look of pure joy on Rick's face when this showed up on the screen:

This was the first shot of the day.  No modesty for our child.

He has been incubating for about 17w3days and has loved to cause his mama trouble.  Unfortunately I have been sick since before I took the test and still throw up about once a day.  I couldn't eat chocolate for about the first 13-14 weeks because that always guaranteed that I would be sick (I guess that should have been a clue that we are having a boy) and I am finally starting to eat a little normally.  I have a small baby bump (pictures to follow shortly) and have gained a couple of pounds.  Overall we are doing well, everyone is healthy and we can't wait for him to make his appearance around Feb. 5, 2010.

The other "minor" things we have been up to since I last posted:

We have been busy but loving most of the adventures that have come our way!

I've been replaced!

See that headset?  Yep, Rick's nerdiness has multiplied since starting dental school and now he ignores me to play xbox with his little online friends.  Including the ones that just live down the street!  I'm hoping this phase doesn't last long...

Happy Valentine's Day

This year we celebrated Valentine's Day a couple of times.  It started with a fabulous party at our friends house, Matt and Jenna Gunnell.  They had everything decorated so cute!  We played a couple of games, including the Newlywed game, played Rockband, ate lots of good food, and chatted the night away.  We also brought Valentine's boxes and then exchanged valentines.  Some of our friends were definitely way creative with their boxes, one of our friends brought an amazing box that blew me away!  Here is Rick sitting with our little box while I passed out valentines.  Sitting next to him is Brad, and yes that bear is their box (fun, huh?) and Rich with their box.  

Rick and I in front of the yummy treats!

For Valentine's Day, Rick brought me a bouquet of my favorite flowers, gerber daisies and pink roses and then we celebrated by going to see Cirque du Soliel's "Saltimbanco".  This was the second Cirque du Soliel show we have gone to and both were wonderful.  It was a great way to spend our day together.

Last night, we went to the dental school's Valentine's Dance.  It was held at the 

Indianapolis Children's Museum.  We had a lot of fun dressing up and dancing the night away with our friends.  Of course Rick couldn't resist the legos from on of the exhibits...

Mmmm...isn't he yummy?  This is us in front of the Fireworks of Glass sculpture at the museum.  We had so much fun and I am so glad that I can call him my Valentine!
