The Baby Bump

Well, many of you wanted a belly shot, so here you go! I am at the very weird stage where NOTHING fits, yet most maternity clothes are still too big. I just look like I've been eating one too many fried Twinkies. Poor Jason, he hears me complaining every time I get dressed and does a good job of convincing me that I'm just a "hot little momma".

Mighty Man...

Here is a 3-D ultrasound picture of Griffin! We know he looks a bit like an alien still, but we think he's precious. We were cracking up because it kind of looks like he flexing his arm muscle. He was also trying to suck his thumb the whole time we were in there. It was so amazing to see him so clearly!

Starting a Family...and a Blog!

I suppose starting a family is just as good a time as any to also start a blog! With the pleading of several dear friends, I decided to take the time this Sunday to create our family blog. Jason and I found out in June that we are expecting our first child! We were excited beyond words, and very thankful for this precious blessing. I am now 19 weeks pregnant, and we found out we're having a BOY!!!! Wow! The surprises just keep coming. I can't tell you the look of pride and joy on Jason's face when he found out he was having a son, but I'll never forget it! We have decided to name him Griffin James Stephens. It was actually quite easy to choose a name. We knew we wanted the middle name to be James after Jason's dad. Then, we were on vacation in Colorado and saw a precious little boy. We asked his mom his name and she told us it was Griffin. We both instantly fell in love and it's been Griffin ever since. This is such an exciting time in our lives, and we look forward to sharing it with you through pictures and posts on our blog.
