Daddy has a 2nd interview with Newcomb & Company (HVAC company) on Tuesday at lunchtime!! He received an email late Friday from the operations manager that he interviewed with last week asking if daddy could meet with him and the Vice President on Tuesday for lunch! We are very excited about this possibility for daddy to talk with them further about the Warranty Associate position that is available!
Please continue to keep us in your prayers!

Pain in my Rear
So, is mommy talking about daddy or baby Brian?!?!
Don't get me wrong, I probably could be talking about my sweet and loving husband some days, but unfortunately I'm talking about little Brian. Mommy's been out of work a lot the past week and barely able to get out of bed because of all the pain in my right leg and backside! Thankfully, daddy has been absolutely wonderful and has been pampering mommy for weeks! The house is clean, dinner has been great every night, and mommy has been chauffeured wherever she needed to go! Daddy is the worlds best. Even Brian says that daddy is the best. Brian cannot wait to see his loving daddy.
We've been to the doctor and thought it could be inflammation of my sciatic nerve, but thankfully there was a cancellation at the physical therapist and I was able to get in on Thursday. My PT did a lot of muscle relaxation work (which helped tremendously), so we think it may be built up muscle and nerve tension that is going to take a little while to work out. I will have PT twice a week for a little while to see if we can continue to alleviate the pain.
Thankfully, mommy has had some relief the past 2 days, so we are hopeful that at least the intensity of the pain will continue to decrease. Please continue to pray for us (especially since my co-pay for PT is $50 a visit!) as I continue to work as much as I can and as daddy continues to look for a job.

19 Weeks
We are very close to being half-way through our pregnancy - and if Baby Brian decides to come early, we may already be there!!! Our doctor's appointment went well yesterday and Brian's heartbeat is still good and strong - I love hearing that sound! I think I've decided that his heartbeat is one of the best sounds in the world!!
Our doctor asked me if I had felt him move yet. My response was, "I don't know!" Thankfully, he said that was the exact response he expected to hear! He assured me that in the next days to week or so, I should feel something that I know is the baby. I'll be sure to let you know when I do!
Mommy's not really started craving much of anything yet - except Olive Garden! All you can eat pasta, salad, and breadsticks - I could eat it every day! And they have this new Asiago Garlic Alfredo sauce that is WONDERFUL over angel hair pasta! Unfortunately it is not a craving I can give into regularly, but we did get to go last Saturday for dinner! So if anyone has the desire to pamper Mommy anytime soon, Olive Garden gift cards are more than welcomed!! :)
Hopefully we'll get some more pictures posted within the next week or so!

The World of Registries
Well, Chris and I braved the world of baby registries this past week! Babies R Us and Target were our stores of choice! Chris thoroughly enjoyed himself with the scan gun - I got to point to everything I wanted and he got to scan. However, I am not afraid to admit that creating our registry at Babies R Us was very overwhelming! 5 different brands of everything, different colors, different feels of materials, a range of prices, where do you even begin? At least we knew what colors we are doing in the nursery - greens, blue, and yellow - and we are putting Noah's Ark things in the nursery as well. After maneuvering through all the aisles at Babies R Us and scanning almost 180 items, Mommy called it a day!
However, Daddy had gotten a little "scanner happy" and suggested we go ahead and register at Target as well, especially since it was "just down the road!" Target was quite as overwhelming as Babies R Us, but there was still a LOT of baby stuff to look at and choose from! To say the least, our Target registry is much shorter than the other one, because Mommy got TIRED!
Shopping and doing our registries was definitely my favorite kind of shopping - FREE, but I'm definitely done for a while!

Our First Blogging Experience!
Well, we have finally gotten on the blogging train!!! I don't know how good I'll be at keeping this updated every day (please don't hold your breath!!) but we want to be able to share part of our lives with you!
So, as of today, we are 17 weeks pregnant and so excited that we are having a little boy! God has blessed us with this little miracle and we are anxiously awaiting Brian Christopher's arrival. His arrival is scheduled for February 12, 2009 and all our doctor's visits have shown a strong heartbeat and a VERY active little boy - he's going to be just like his daddy!!! So please keep mommy in your prayers! :)
