It has been a long time since we last blogged. The past few months have been crazy for the both of us, however, Kristin and I are FINALLY happy to annouce that we are going to have a baby! Baby Favry is due April 5th, 2009, which is ironic because it falls right between our Birthdays. I guess this means that Kristin's Birthday will no longer be the main event and that the focus now will have to be mine!
It has been hard keeping it a secret from everyone, however, we wanted to make it through the first trimester knowing that this would be the hardest one. We told our family a couple of months ago, which was so exciting. Outside of telling your parents that you are getting married, telling them you are having a child is such an incredible feeling. We cannot wait for the day to introduce them to their new grandchild/nephew-neice!
We have gone now to 4 doctors appointments and three ultrasounds, with the last one being yesterday. Kristin and I were awed at how quickly the baby has grown. Even more amazing was actually being able to see the baby move and suck its thumb. The little "lemon" as Kristin calls it was moving around on the ultrasound yesterday. We even got to hear the heartbeat, which is such a comforting thing. Heartbeat is strong at 163 beats and the baby is now 2 inches, with the expectation that it will double in size in the next 2-3 weeks.
We are so happy to now be able to tell people because it makes it feel more real. For Kristin, the reality sets in when she can feel the first kick! For me, I think it is actually seeing her stomach and also knowing the gender. The both of us cannot wait to start getting things for our baby and all the planning that comes with it. As many of you know, Kristin and I are planners, so we have already thought about where we are putting the nursery, colors depending upon gender, looked at cribes and also stollers etc. Fun times indead but certainly a reality check!
We will be certain to keep you all updated along the way. We look forward to many more blogs about the new chapter that we have begun in our lives.

congratulations to the both of you!! how exciting!
This is something the grandparents have been waiting for since that special day you said " I Do " almost 4 yrs. ago. You will make such wonderful parents and Chelsea will make a good sister. Seeing the picture brought tears to my eyes. I can't wait for my grandchild to be born and be able to spoil and give lots of love. Thank you Kris and Anthony, love you both very much. Love Grammy.
Good to have your blog back. I could'nt think of a better way to start again. It was hard for us to keep the secret also. The baby can't be anything but beautifull with two good looking parents. Can't wait, can't wait, babies, babies, babies. It will be so much fun seeing Callum and baby Favry running around.
