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:
Spring break
My 26th birthday
Fall Out Boy concert
My brother's graduation from law school (go Jeff!)
Work trips to Tennessee, Kentucky, and Colorado
Finding out we are expecting
My sister's graduation from high school (go Cait!)
Rick's "summer" break
Our second honeymoon to Hawaii
Fourth of July
Rick back in school (one year down, three to go)
Our 5 year wedding anniversary
Blink 182 concert

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

Congratulations! Does this mean that you are on the lookout for little sheep that are blue? That's too bad about feeling so sick, I hope that it passes soon for you.

Love the name!!! I'm sure he will feel very honored to have this name as he grows up and learns about his grandpa.

It really is too bad that you had to get sick from chocolate though. That's just not fair. :)
