Just a little thread to keep the people interested informed about the SON baby. :-) I'm 13 weeks along and due on April 8th. I had the new genetic testing (MaterniT21) done because I'm over 35. It's just a simple blood draw, that's less invasive than an amnio. Luckily, is well on that front.

You can also find out the gender of the baby with this new test. I'm having a boy. I'm a little nervous about that, since I guess being a woman I just feel like I have more of a sense of how to parent a girl, but I guess I'll figure it out.

Thanks to the people who've asked about how I'm feeling and who have wished us well. I really appreciate it. I'm feeling pretty good now that I'm out of the first trimester. Still a little tired, but I was lucky and didn't have terrible morning sickness. Mostly what I'm hoping for is things to stay uneventful for the next six months.

If anyone has name ideas, I'm open to suggestions. Right now, Elijah is in the running.

He is getting so big, he is like a real person already.  The video worked, I didn't even realize tinypic uploaded videos.  I think Vine might be a good site to chronicle his movies, or Instagram where all your pics and vids can be together and you can show him these ten years from now and embarrass him!   That's assuming there is still an internet in ten years.  How old is he now, and are you playing GH audio tapes while he sleeps so he is good to go when he gets old enough to fight you for the remote?

Nate laughing, hopefully the link works

OHHH!!  CRYING!!! Beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing, just too precious ;''-)))) 

There's something so comforting about the wonder and excitement in a baby's eyes!

He's 7 months now. I haven't been doing any GH indoctrination other than having him in the room while I watch. That may have the opposite effect at this point. He's starting to communicate beyond crying. Today I was eating some fruit. He opened his mouth like a baby bird to let me know he wanted some. Then put his hand on my mouth when I didn't act fast enough. As for Instagram, yes, I'll open an account. I've been resisting any more social media, but I might as well.

IT JUST DAWNED ON ME that babe Nate recently turned one years old! Hope you & him are doing well @Juliajms !!

Look at how much that sweet boy is growing! April babies really are the best.

Happy Birthday Nate!!!! I was thinking it was close to a year last week...

 

He's a cutie-pie!  Great health and happiness to baby boy Nate and his entire family!

That's crazy!  It's amazing how fast babies grow, he now looks like he is ready for his first iPad.  That isn't much of a stretch these days, babies are become adept really young and I think can be gadget ready by 2 or 3.   Is he talking, or is it too early for that?

He can talk a little. Mostly Daddy and baba (bottle). He's walking petty well at this point. It is crazy how much they change in that first year. An yes, keeping my iphone away from him is a challenge. He's relentless.

 

Thanks for the well wishes everyone. :-)

So how about an update?
