Hows my little girl?

Well just a quick update to say that things are progressing in a normal fashion. Kaiya's kicks are getting more frequent and stronger and Lisa is feeling them quite often if not most of the time. Im starting to be able to feel a little flutter in her tummy everyonce in awhile but still have not felt anything that I could definitly say was a kick from my little girl. Its so crazy and so exciting to think that in a few months im going to be a dad. Im so excited and I just wanted kaiya to know that.

cheers!

Super Duper GOJIRA sized update -- With pics!

Ok so yeah Todays entry is a really special one for me as I get to make a couple of pretty exciting announcements. First up below you will find my first truly embarising pic of our new wee knodel. Look closely and if you still cant figure it out. ITS A GIRL!!!!! Thats right ladies and gents according to our last ultrasound Lisa and I are having a girl. The name we have picked out right now is Kaiya Noel Knodel (Lisa's middle name is Noel also) And we are truly excited for her arrival.



This pic below is more or less your standard ultra sound pic with Kaiya just chilling and hanging out in what is probably the nicest spot on the planet right now. FYI i am totally resisting "womb with a view" jokes so that is something to for you guys to be thankfull for!



I love this pic and was a real kinda fluke shot. Right place right time kinda thing in that we got a great shot of kaiya stretching out her leg and getting a full extension in. check out how you can see all the bones like the femur and tibia. And just in case you cant tell her hip would be on the left side and her foot is in the upper right corner of the shot.



Heres another pic of my girl! Notice how I somehow inverted the pic so she is now laying in the other direction and all the text is backwards. I truly am a pinball wizard! N E ways shes still just chilling out and having a great time!


SO what other BIG announcements might I have????? Well if you look to the left the links for Kaiya's wish lists / registries are up and active and that has been a lot of fun picking out all the many things that we will need / want for our little girl. It has also been a real learning experiance as most companies have discovered that people will spare no expense when it comes to their baby and a lot of people want in on that action, regardless on their product actually doing what it says it will do. SO we have spent a lot of time researching and trying to find the best stuff for our little bundle of joy that is coming.

And I do want to say thanks to anyone who gets us anything from a little onesie to a car seat we really do appreciate any help and support from friends and family and am very thankfull for that.

SO I guess that -- OH WAIT THERE IS MORE -- I know you are thinking Chris how could that be???? We have already seen a plethora of coool stuffs!!!!! Could there really be more???? Please dont be a tease!!!!!!

Ok ok if you insist there is more! Kaiya has become very very active lately and lisa is feeling her kicking all the time! She is going crazy and is sure to be a future Triathlete like her daddy! I have not been able to feel that much just yet but she is supposed to really start growing in the next few weeks and I think my time is coming where I will be able to feel her little kicks. But for now its a lot of fun to be talking with lisa and have her go "oh! I guess Kaiya agrees with that!"

Ok i think thats enough for one post. Take care everyone!

Cheers!

Scouts Eye View

Ok I know this will probably seem silly but awhile ago I surprised lisa by buying this mobile that she really wanted and guess what the theme is?????


Thats right cute little sheep! Sheep rule and these little guys are so cute and so soft I really think it will be nice to fall asleep with them.


And This is what it will look like when little scout is falling asleep. Nighty Night little sheep, Nighty Night!


Cheers!
