HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL! 
Here are the top hits from our adventures the last 3 weeks...


We took our nephews to Carlsbad, guess the drive was a little boring...

Cody snoozing....
Cole is zonked



















Had a GREAT time with Kaleb's family and even got to meet this little cutie...   

Carlsbad Zoo's newest mountain lion! :)
    Everyone insisted on not being surprised by the gender... I think my dad forgot we even got the ultrasound... so for his birthday he got a granddaughter!!!
IT'S
A
GIRL!

Highlights from Ultrasound-

She's is proud of her feet

Boy or Girl?!


Life has many questions...
What came first, the chicken or the egg?
Who's on first?

But the biggest question in the Heinrich household is... BOY OR GIRL?! We will find out Wednesday 12/11/13

Old Wives Tales

The Funnies:
Had a dream I chased down a girl scout in a movie theater for a box of thin mint cookies...  Naturally, the next day at the grocery store I invested in the next best thing...
No girl scout injured in purchase of these cookies
Around the neighborhood:
It's been cold here.  Really cold.  Have a feeling this will be a long, snowy, cold winter!  But the saddest thing about winter is sunset before 5pm.

Single digits
Couple inches on Saturday













Other fun facts:
Cravings- pudding and pickles
Weight gain- will get official number at doc's office, unofficial ~ 6lbs total (I think!)
.. and we have movement people! Started feeling the little nugget FOR SURE on Thursday.  Kaleb has even felt the little booger.

Here are updated pics of our other babies:

Lizzie
Frye Kitty- what a dude
Luna





































Love,
The Heinrichs



Baby goes to Vegas (18 week update)

2013 called for a Heinrich Thanksgiving (Miller Christmas will come in a few weeks)... and what better place to give thanks than Las Vegas!

18 Week Picture

This 18 week picture was taken the wednesday BEFORE thanksgiving, but I had a rather large lunch... you can make your own assumptions on % real baby and % food baby proportions...

We stayed at the Wyndham hotel, just off the strip and a block from the Hard Rock Hotel.  Since Grandpa (Carl) Heinrich is awesome, and the Iowa racing and gaming commissioner, we got a sweet tour of the HRH (including celebrity suites, the spa, and the 'rehab pool').  To top it off we got a reserved table to see Jenny McCarthy's comedy tour at one of the HRH clubs... can you say VIP?

Of course Vegas is full of fun attractions... here are some of the things we did:
Gambled (aka Lost)
Watched the Volcano outside the Mirage
Took Pics with "The Beatles" outside of LOVE at the Mirage
Kaleb and I on the bridge to NY NY




Family Pic with Vegas Skyline





And really, what's Vegas without a good show?  On our last night we went to KA (Cirque du Soleil) inside of the MGM.  Great show with AWESOME seats... Here is a family pic right before we went in!

Heinrichs outisde of KA- Cirque du Soleil


A convenient and awesome suprise- Got to see one of my favorite friends Amy Cummings!! We met at Caesars and laughed about our past times in Vegas together!

 
Ashley & Amy @ Caesars Palace


To say the least, Baby H had a wonderful time in Vegas with great food, great company, and great entertainment.  Don't worry baby, you can go back in 21 years or so... :)

Love,
Kaleb, Ashley, & Baby H (& L, L, and F)

BABY TIMELINE: 
Because y'all wanna know how this unfolded


THE TESTS

8/20/13-
I wanted to drink a beer, but we had just started 'trying', so I decided to take a test.
Result: POSITIVE

8/21/13-
I present Kaleb with not 1, not 2, but 6 different pregnancy tests
Result: ALL POSITIVE

**but the line is so faint, are we sure it's there, what does this MEAN?!**

8/22/13-
Buy another store bought test and decide to take it in a couple days, when the hormone is stronger... just to be sure
 Result: Couldn't wait.  Took it that night.  It was VERY POSITIVE

OK so we are pregnant?! omg, Omg, OMG... now what?!


TELLING THE PARENTS:

9/19/13-
Judy and Ron (Ashley's folks) are in town for Ashley's birthday.  This also happened to be the day of our 8 week appointment.  Surprised folks with a grandparents day card:
Response:
Mom- "I don't have my glasses on, but I'm sure it says 'love, Lizzie, Luna, & Frye"
Me- UGH
Dad- (Reading card contents out loud) "Surprise! Ready for #6??...ummmm" Then I whipped out the Ultrasound, with which Dad replies "Oh Crap!"
**Happy tears

9/28/13-
Mark and Debbie (Kaleb's parents) are in SLC for a conference.  We give them a grandparent's day card.
Response:
Mark- "This is the best news of the decade!  I can't wait to teach the kid the banjo"
Debbie- I'm not really sure what she said, or if she spoke.  Surprisingly, she was the only future grandparent without tears (they came later)....


BABY LOVE- (friends and family have been so generous already!)

Colleen has guaranteed a very well-dressed baby:



 







Aunt Jenny started a library


We also struck gold with some wonderful hand-me-down furniture from Kaleb's advisor!!

We've loved the outpouring of support and generosity from all of our friend's and family so far.  It's great! EVERYONE should have a baby!


OK FUN PART
