July Update: Some pics and stuff

So after finally getting settled back into our house in New Jersey, we finally were able to buy a camera. Things have been crazy here between buying a new business and trying to transition from living in D.C. I feel like things have just somewhat calmed down since we moved back here in early May. So as of now, Leighann has been doing better. She doesn't seem to get sick as much but she still gets tired a lot easier now. It's been kind of wierd though. She actually lost weight the first three months of the prenancy and has just now started to get a little bigger. She's starting to get her belly bump now and it's kind of funny to see her in her uniform for work. She wears a form fitting sailor outfit and it's slowly not having much room left to expand. So we have finally got some belly pictures and some of them are from a few weeks back because well I'm lazy when it comes to this blogging stuff. We also have a picture of the stuff my brother, my mom, Leighann's maid of honor, Karen, and our friend Anna Marie got us. The stuff is cute but we still have to get the baby some hokie and phillies stuff. We don't want the baby getting confused and thinking it is a UVA fan or a Mets fan when the baby is young. I also finally took a picture of the first ultrasound. We are getting kind of anxious too because in a week or two, we are going to set up the ultrasound to find out what the baby's sex is.

Our blob at six weeks. Look real closely and you can see nothing. Just a blob.

This is the first belly picture we took. It is Leigh with a goofy smile at 11 weeks.

This is Leigh a week later in Atlantic City losing our money at 12 weeks.

This is our most recent photo with Leigh's noticable belly bump at 16 weeks. Little deathstrike douglass(still working on convincing leigh to name the baby deathstrike, it may take a few more weeks but she'll come around) is looking pretty healthy.

This is all the baby stuff we've gotten from friends and family. Danny got the baby ron jon stuff. My mom got the tiny little socks and the baby frog blanket that are cute but will fit the baby for three days. Karen went to disney world and bought the baby its first stuffed animal, Simba, and she also got the bibs for when I eat. Anne Marie got the rattle and the baby einstein book because we all know he is going to get the genius genes from Dad ( I definitely spelled genius wrong and can't write a good sentence when I am trying to be funny and Leigh had to correct me but anyway)

Well that's about all I feel like writing today because I'm tired and this took too long. So anyway when we find out in the next week or two about what the baby will be, we'll post something new. Stay tuned.

Well since we haven't really posted anything in a while I thought I would help Ryan out and put something up.  There hasn't been a lot of stuff going on.  Still craving that sandwich and have found a way to eat it by making hot turkey and gravy sandwiches...mmm that's already making me hungry.   That's the other thing, I will be hungry all day long but every time I go to eat I eat a quarter of what I used to eat and feel like it's going to come back up (oh joy).  Still just having nausea and not throwing up but honestly I think that may be worse.  At least if it comes up you get some relief, lol.  On a lighter and more exciting note...we finally got a new camera..yay!!  Hopefully this means we'll be getting some belly pictures up.  Oh and Ryan is thoroughly enjoying this pregnancy thing.  he absolutely loves taking care of me, and hearing me whine complain about not knowing what I want to eat and being achy.  Oh and his favorite has to be all the internet surfing I've been doing to find out random pregnancy stuff that I share with him.  Actually I think he wishes he could just lock himself in a box and come out in January. :)  I guess that's it for now!

Pictures/Ultrasound Pic

So I was trying to put up some pictures of our first ultrasound and Leigh's belly but as of right now, my scanner doesn't seem to want to work and some @$%%#$ in D.C.  broke into my car and stole my camera so I can't take pictures.  So for now you get to just hear my boring stories with no pictures.  Maybe I'll draw some stick figure pictures and I'll post them.  It's like a bad sitcom but I'll work on it.  Anyway, I've been told we have another appointment this week to go over all the stuff Leigh can and can not eat.  This will be fun.  She's already been going through withdrawal because she  can't have lunch meats and all she wants is a sandwich.  On another note too, we thought of a few names for the baby right now but every good one like Pepe or Carlos I come up with she doesn't like.  We'll keep working on that.  So for now, that's it. Go hokies.   

First Ultrasound/ Due Date

So we went for the first ultrasound yesterday and that was interesting...I'm learning something new everyday...they showed us a picture of the baby for the first time which was pretty cool but the baby looks very similar to the blob...hard to make out any legs or feet or anything.  We finally got Leigh's due date and it turns out we might have a New Year's Baby.  They said Leigh is about 6 1/2 weeks along and her due date is going to be January 2 of next year.  Pretty crazy!  Anyway I think we don't have to do anymore doctors' appointments for a few so it may be a little while before we have some more updates.

First Blog Entry

So I saw my buddy "Indiana" Ryan start a blog for his baby to keep family and friends updated and we thought it was a pretty cool idea...anyway so I decided it would be a interesting thing to do for our little soccer player (thanks for the idea buddy)...anyway here we go...this is our first blog and hopefully anyone that's interested in finding out stuff about little dougie fresh will find this pretty cool as well... Anyway we will try to keep  updates on here as much as Leigh and I can... so enjoy and wish me luck...I'll need it...
