LA Baby Shower

A huge heartfelt thanks to the Sommer family who opened their home (and their liquor cabinet) for an amazing baby shower Monday night.  We have such fabulous friends!  Thanks to everyone for showering baby young with so much love!

Belly Dance

Here are some photos we've captured of my growing belly over the last few months.  More to come!

This is a nest...

This is nesting...

Why does it look so much calmer when a bird does it?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hot Doc

 Dr. Katz and another patient of his.

Emily wasn't working today, so I was really confused by her putting on makeup this morning. She did her hair too and looked fantastic.
Then I remembered we had a doctor's appointment today and Emily was getting all dolled up for Dr. Katz. I've been to every appointment and I don't think he's ever noticed I was in the room until it was time for the high five on the way out. I have to admit he's damn good and I too put on a nice shirt to try to impress him today. Alas, all I got was the high five again...

Baby Shower in Kato

Thanks to all the ladies who partied with Baby Young in Minnesota!  Aunties Jen and Kim outdid themselves as usual, and we all had a blast.  Here are some photos from the party.

JUST in case it's a girl, she already has her first tutu!  Thanks Sandra and Kim!

the wedding ring test says it's a girl, but I'm listening to margie - she's said boy from day 1

always the best party planners

this baby will be very loved by these two!!

Our first blog!

This is a place for us to post our growing little family's photos and stories.  Sometimes it will be from Alex's point of view and sometimes it will be from Emily's, but it will always be about Cado* (we know that's why you are all here).

We have about 14 weeks before he/she arrives.  And no, we have not secretly found out the sex of the baby and decided not to tell you just to torture you!


* Cado is what we've taken to calling the baby.  Short for Avacado.  Around 16 weeks that's how big the baby was, the name stuck.
