Happy Thanksgiving

We are so thankful for all the wonderful people that are in our life! We couldn't have made it on this journey without all your love, support, and encouragement. Here are some pictures from the big day. For some odd reason- I really popped out for some reason. I guess Olivia wanted to show that she was like a turkey- I just think it was the shirt that made me look huge! So here is the bump shot that everyone has wanted to see... I guess I should have put on some makeup! Jake also loves Thanksgiving and got all prepared for his plate of turkey! Yes, Jake sits at the table... he loves it... as you can tell!!

It's a girl!

Melissa went to the doctor today for the 20 week anatomy scan. On Thanksgiving we will be exactly 20 weeks (Half way there! Yipee!) Well, definitely 100% it is a girl. We are going to name her Olivia Caroline. Everything looked great- she got to see the heart, lungs, fingers and toes, and her head was measured. Olivia just did not want to cooperate and turn around. She must be shy and didn't want her picture taken. They couldn't get her to turn so we did not get a face shot today. Melissa has to go back in 3 weeks for Olivia to hopefully show her face!

It may be a girl.....

Went to the doctor on November 12th and just over 18 weeks. We were hoping to get a sneak peek and that we did. Ultrasound tech said we have a 95% chance that it is a girl. We are both very happy and will find out for sure on November 24th.

First 3 Months

Baby Barth has been a secret to most of our friends, family, and coworkers. Some people thought Melissa fell off the face of the Earth because she stopped running and doing many things to try to take care of the baby. We just wanted to make sure that everything was going alright before we shared our excitement with everyone else. So far, so good. Here is a picture of Baby Barth at 12 weeks! What long legs he/she has...could be a runner or a biker!

Our Journey

Welcome Family and Friends to our blog! We want you to be part of our journey of Baby Barth. Baby Barth has been a long time coming and we are very excited, nervous, and anxious for his or her arrival. As you all probably know that this journey has not been easy for us. But we know that all good things come to those who wait and that God has a plan for us. So please follow us along this great journey!
