Hello All

This is Emily here, finally deciding to put my two cents worth on this blog.
First, I would like to say that this was a wonderful idea that my husband had to do this blog. I hope that family and friends enjoy it as much as we do and stay updated on things going on in our lives. It is so hard now a days, to stay in touch with people on a regular basis. Life seems to get in the way sometimes, doesn't it?

Well, as you all have read, we are so excited to be having a little girl. I really wanted a girl because I am such a girly girl at heart. Of course, part of me wanted a boy too, for Aric's sake mostly; the Lobenstein's name has to be carried on! (but not this time) ;)

That is all I have for right now. I hope to post more stuff as things progress or digress, either way we will keep everyone updated!

Take care and God bless!

Pretty Girl

Our "blob" during our ninth week.


IT'S A GIRL!!! 20-week ultrasound


She's waving at you!!! :)


She is definitely a Lobenstein... You can't see it real well in the scan, but she is definitely "in her thoughtful spot - think, think, think" (Winnie the Pooh!)

IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!

We went to see the doctor on Tuesday and confirmed our suspicions. The ultrasound was very clear - by the way, technology is amazing - and our baby is most definitely a girl. We were able to see pretty much everything - two arms, two legs, two eyes, a nose, a mouth, two beautiful little feet... The heart was maybe the most amazing. Four chambers all working in perfect unison! She was moving around all over the place - as if to say "I know you're watching me; look what I can do!". :)

We have decided on Savannah Claire for her name. We really struggled for a long time to come up with a girl's name that we both liked. Claire is Emily's middle name and as soon as Emily suggested Savannah, I fell in love with the combination.

So... Be on the lookout around Thanksgiving! That's when our new little girl will be joining our lives!!! :)
