Team Blue!!

We had our anatomy scan this morning and we're having a baby boy!!  We couldn't be more happy about it.  Jamin is ready to start coaching his little league team.  His name will be Liam Alan Burke.  Liam means Protector or Warrior.  It's also derived from William which is special because Jamin's father's name was William Alan Burke.

Even better news was that our baby boy is healthy and is measuring perfectly!  He weighs about 7 oz. and is the size of a mango.

We are going to the A&M/Tech game this weekend so we will definitely be buying a little Aggie outfit for him!

Here are some pics from today's visit.  It's hard to tell exactly what is what, but the "boy" pictures are like his is sitting on the camera.  You will see his two legs and then his boy parts in between.

Sick :(

So I thought it was just allergies, however it has turned into a sinus infection or something. I didn't really want to take any antibiotics if I didn't need to, but when I called our OB they told me I sounded awful and they would call me in some meds. So I'm taking Amoxicillin. I already feel better, but I still sound horrible and can't really breathe. Hopefully, I will get over this soon!

On a positive note 6 more days til we find out if Baby Burke is a Boy or a Girl!

Baby Burke Update

Well, we are starting our 17th week of pregnancy and so far so good. My morning sickness is gone. I crave sweets and kid cereal all the time.  Favorite at the moment is Lucky Charms. Chunks of chicken really gross me out.

The last appointment we had we got to hear the heartbeat and it was really amazing. The nurse found it right away and the heart rate was 152 bpm.

There are so many wives tales out there that claim to be able to predict the gender of the baby. I'm not sure I believe any of them, but they are fun to do anyway. We also did an Intelligender test. Right now, I think we are about half and half which is the best you can be when it comes to boy or girl. So we will have to wait and see.

Intelligender = Boy
Chinese Gender Calendar = Girl
Pencil Test/Ring Test = Boy
Heart Rate = Girl

We get to have our gender sonogram in 8 more days!!  Hopefully Baby Burke will show us their baby parts and not be shy!





The best day!

I know it's been over two and half years since our amazing wedding day, but I thought I would post a slideshow to remember that day.
