Baby News

We had our first appointment with our maternity doctor at Women's hospital today. Our next appointment is in five weeks (October 3rd) when will be going over the results from our ultrasound (October 2nd). I should have an updated due date after the ultrasound but from the calculations our doctor made we are due between February 27th and March 6th. Everything looks good to go ahead and try for a natural birth this time so that is the plan. Baby's heart rate was 144 beats per minute... this is the same as David's heart rate was when I was pregnant with him. Another boy??? It is in the middle of the range if you use heart rate to determine sex but according to my heart rate when I was in-utero I was going to be a boy so I don't follow that one. So, everything is going well. Going by February 27th as the due date (and our last ultrasound) I am actually 14 weeks pregnant today. Looking forward to finding out more and we will keep you updated but we are enjoying a healthy pregnancy and for that we are very thankful.
Oh, we took a sound recording of baby's heart beat but have not found a way to get it on the blog.

What's so funny?

David This Week

David now has 14+ teeth... we can't tell you exactly how many because we are afraid of getting our fingers bit off! He is continuing to do well. These pictures were taken yesterday and today.

13 weeks

This week our second trimester begins! This is very exciting for me because it means soon we will be having another ultrasound and I will be feeling baby move more often. I have felt a few light movements lately, though it is still quite early for that. This pregnancy I have had less nausea then I did with David... the only thing I can complain about is my allergies but hopefully that will get better soon too. We have our first appointment at Women's hospital this Wednesday.

Good Eating!

As you have guessed from the title and as you can see from the pictures David is enjoying food and eating lots. We keep thinking he must be in a growth spurt but he has not changed sizes in quite a while. He wasn't too happy he had to share mom's ice cream sandwich but he did get his own plum which Oma and Opa sent home with us on Thursday.

10 weeks (August 7th)

Today we are starting our 10th week... only 30 more weeks to go!

Rachel's June Family Pictures

I posted a few sneak peeks taken from our camera last month but here are the ones Rachel took. Thanks Rachel... we love them!

Richmond Birthday (July 15th)

Finally here are some pictures from David's Richmond Party! He had lots of fun playing with his friends in the pool and playing soccer with the big boys. Thanks to everyone who was able to celebrate with us.

What's new??? (read the fine print)

It has been a while since we have had a chance to update but life continues as usual at the Neufeld house. David is getting smarter by the day and he is constantly surprising us. Yesterday he found a kleenex and before I noticed he had it he had already wiped my nose... so cute. Also when Jonathan mentioned bed time David ran full speed to his bedroom and climbed onto the rocking chair where Jonathan feeds him his bottle. This month David has gotten three new teeth which brings the total up to nine. He has also learned how to walk up stairs holding someones hand... such big steps. And he walks long distance now... down the street to the school or down the long isles at Costco (his favorite). And little does he know each new step he takes is preparing him to be a big brother early this coming spring... that's right... we are nine weeks pregnant... due at the beginning of March 2008.

Shuswap 2007

Well we spent just over a week at Shuswap this year... arriving back home Friday evening. The weather was the nicest I've had there but there were more mosquito's then usual. David did really well though his wet suit was a little too big so he kept falling over... very cute!



Can't believe our baby is a year old. He drinks 2 bottles a day, one when he wakes up and one before he goes to sleep. He sleeps from 7pm-5am. He walks everywhere and he just got his seventh tooth. He's as happy as always with a little more energy and he is eating a lot of what we eat. Other then that things are as usual. We had a nice vacation but are happy to be home.

Birthday at Grandpa Brent's

White Rock

Here are a few of our pictures from David's first time at the Beach, taken June 20th, 2007. Needless to say he got really dirty and had lots of fun.

1st Birthdays

This weekend David had two birthdays while we were in Port visiting family and friends.

Thank you to everyone who was able to celebrate with us.

David is enjoying his new beach toys, cars, bubbles, book shelf, little people, duplo, blocks, crayons, phones, balls, books and hockey stick. Thanks you also for the clothes, tooth fairy pillow, shoes and monkey leash.

I hope to add some pictures when we return for Shuswap Lake.

For those who are asking me what else David needs here are a few suggestions:

Clothes (size 24 months or 2T... for Fall), shoes... size 6, Potty, hiking backpack carrier"Little Kingdom" (Little People) DVD, (Micheal, Sarah and Maggie "Little People" figurines), kids music, sunglasses, dish set, "little tikes" piano, inflatable water toy...

these are just ideas I've come up with for people who have asked. I thought posting what he has already received would help too.
