Baby Jarboe!
The ultrasound went great!! Baby Jarboe is measuring at 20 weeks and 2 days. All limbs are accounted for and wasn't that baby just a moving this morning! The ultrasound technician had a lot of fun too. I will be posting the ultrasound pictures at the end of the today. As you guessed, we do now know the sex of baby Jarboe! It's a boy!!! We are really excited!

20 or 21 weeks
So, I'm at my half way point. Yay! Things are going really well. We just got back from Memphis. It's was great. Melissa is now married :) It was such a great time, we were on the Tunica queen and it was a bit hot but once the sun went down it was good. She looked so beautiful!!!! I'm so glad we were able to make it.
Well, tomorrow is the big day...at 645am, we'll know what baby Jarboe is!!!!!
I'm guessing boy.

19 weeks
Well, I'm a week away from being at my half way point. Here's some information from my calendar:
Your baby measures about 5.2 (13.2cm) to 6 inches (15.2cm) from crown to rump and weighs about 7 ounces (198g). Skin is developing and transparent, appearing red because blood vessels are visible through it. Creamy white protective coating, called vernix, begins to develop.
Things are going pretty well, though I tend to get mad quickly and unexpectedly or emotional/sobby. It's hormones. I also have a few stretch marks. Though not appealing, I'm okay with it. It's a sign that the baby is getting bigger which is a good sign. I'm still tired a lot...but I figure if my body wants sleep I better give in or I may pay later for it. I'm also getting anxious for the ultra sound. Only about a week away til we see the little bugger. I'm nervous, but keep thinking, everything will be okay. I just realized though, we're basically at 5 months and only 4 to go. Our nursery is no where to being ready, but I figure we won't do much til August which is just around the corner, yikes!!!!!
Well in other news, we bought a new stove yesterday. Our current stove, the front large burner never worked properly and would pop out unexpectedly. Well, we bought this KitchenAid stove at Best Buy (the floor model) for a lot cheaper. Originally $1100 and we bought it for $799. On the Kitchen Aid site, it goes for $1300. Anyways, they take the old one and deliver and install the new at no cost. Well, funny thing. Last night, we went to bake chicken nuggets and guess what happened? The oven door popped out of the socket on the left side. Alex tried to fix it, but we figured, it's going on Friday, who cares... So that's the end of that stove!!!!! I'm so excited though because the new stove is a smooth top. And the bottom coil in the oven is not exposed, so easy breezy cleaning!!!! We also decided to purchase a freezer. Our refrigerator's freezer is always packed and not big enough. We always wanted a freezer, but never really thought about buying new (we were looking for a beater). Anyways, it was a great decision because it also has a lock and key. That way, when little one is curious, he/she can't get into it. I'm excited to actually not have to go to the grocery store every week.
Although this stuff was expensive and a baby on the way, they were needed purchases. I'm going to make my own baby food, so to be able to freeze some of it would be awesome. Now, it's time to save up for the baby, baby furniture, etc. Our goal is to have the nursery ready to go by November, in case he/she comes early.
It's a little stressful in our Jarboe household, but we're managing pretty well I think. With the new appliances coming on Friday, our deck being replaced this week, and our trip to Memphis on Friday for the weekend, the doc appts, the MI trip the following week, I think a much needed NOTHING weekend will be needed!!!
Despite all the stress, I find myself listening to KTIS, the best radio station EVER. They keep reminding me that no matter what happens in our lives, God loves us for who we are. And our goal shouldn't be to worry about such petty things, but to work towards Christ's path to the true way of life of service and stewardship. Did I say I also love our church??? Fr. Mike rocks. I could go on forever, but I think it's time to get back to work.

18 weeks
Today I am 18 weeks pregnant. We are one week away from the usual doctor's appointment and two weeks away from the big ultrasound. In 14 days we will know if this baby is healthy and up to par. In addition, we'll also find out if it is a boy or a girl. I've had mixed feelings about what it is. Some days I think...it's a boy... others... it's a girl. Right now, all I'm praying for is a healthy and great ultrasound.
I've started to feel the baby moving around in there, which is really odd. Sometimes it is hard to tell if it is the baby or my stomach too. I've gotten my appetite back for the most part, except for Mexicana. I stay away from that. I'm hoping that I can keep it up and stay hydrated.
Oh, please vote on what you think the baby is as well. I'm curious to see what others are thinking.
Other than that, we had a great time at the fireworks in Eagan, MN. We went and saw Wall-e and Wanted as well at the theatre. We also met up with my sister on Saturday for dinner. As for the rest of the weekend, I spent it proudly on the couch.
We also having coming up: my best friend's wedding (not the movie) in Memphis! Family trip to Michigan the following week.
