Your Family

 Dear Peanut,

My belly is definitely getting bigger! I think I felt you move yesterday. Dad thinks it's hilarious that the little flutters I feel also kind of feel like gas. I can't wait until I feel some real kicks! 


Your grandparents are dying to meet you. Right now, the pandemic is making it hard to travel; we just don't know if it is safe. We are trying to figure out how to get them all out to Denver for when you arrive. 

Your cousins are also so excited for you. We still haven't been able to meet Ferne in person because of the difficulty with travel and Covid right now but we talk to her on Facetime all the time. She is the sweetest, cutest baby. Emmy, Ryan, and Owen are also so excited. Owie loves babies and I know he will adore you! Here is a message from Maeve and Maren....

Anatomy Scan

 Dear Peanut, We had the 20 week anatomy scan this week! This was tough for me because I had to strategically look away from the ultrasound because we wanted to keep it a surprise if you were a boy or girl. You were acting very shy; you had both your arms and hands up crossed in front of your face! Your dad said you weren't shy, you were just dancing. Here are some pictures of you to share, you know they will be a little more nerdy and anatomical but this is what I do!  You weight 12 oz right now. I'm very relieved you are in the 55%. We know you will always be special, but an average weight is great right now! Ok here's the nerdy shot- its your spine and aortic arch! So pretty!  This one is admittedly creepy. Its your right eye and your moth is wide open yawning!  I'm sure I'll add a few more cute ones along the way :)

Pack Trip

 Dear Peanut, Vacationing during Covid is a little challenging as, well, we really can't go anywhere. Fortunately, we live in the great state of Colorado which is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Your dad organized the most incredible trip for us, a 3 day-2 night pack trip in the Flattop Wilderness! We took horses out and camped, being able to see a whole new part of the state, just the 3 of us :) The first of many family vacations in the outdoors!  Me starting to have a little baby bump Getting ready! My horse was named Scotch and your Dad's was named Dallas.  Beautiful Colorado Your Dad giving me a heart attack climbing on "The Devils Causeway" Dan on "Dallas" Me on "Scotch" Going through the Aspens Our Camp

Dear Peanut

 Dear Peanut, We don't know if you will be a boy or girl, and really didn't want to keep calling you "It" or "Baby." So "Peanut" it is. As I write this, I am 16 weeks pregnant (your due date is 2/4/21). Being pregnant with you is so exciting, and there are so many things going on in the world, we wanted to create something for you to read in the future to know what was happening. We had wanted to start a family for a little while, and could not have been more excited when we got pregnant. I found out June 1, 2020. Let me back up a little to explain what all had been happening in the months leading up to this date.  At the end of 2019, a new Coronavirus was discovered in China. Shortly after, it spread to the rest of the world. In March of 2020, we realized that it was moving fast through the United States, and was eventually called a global pandemic. Everything was shut down; restaurants, parks, businesses. Your cousin, Ferne, was born in February ...
