Well not a whole lot new to put up here but we did have an appointment last week and Lisa is still in the ideally low risk pregnancy category. SO everything is going really quite well and moving along nicely. We are a few days away from the second trimester being complete and well I think its safe to say the honeymoon is over. Lisa is finding it more difficult to move normally and is having trouble getting comfortable sleeping at night so it seems the 3rd trimester is going to be a bit harder on her than I had hoped. However at least its getting a bit cooler so she is not going to be in the worst stage of pregnancy during either extreme heat or extreme cold. Her next appintment is in a month and after that they move to every two weeks. Its crazy to think that we are 2/3 of the way through this and that Kaiya will be here very very soon. Oh and just a shout out to our Friends Chris and Kerry who are also expecting their 2nd now and are due in march! Kaiya's going to have a new buddy!
Thats all for now
Cheers!

Sombody's getting bigger!
Ok so this pic is for pretty much everybody. I have to say I love the internet and despite the fact that our friends and family are scattered all over the world I can still get pictures to you guys so you can see how Lisa looks when shes pregnant. Also I know I for one always wished I could see some pics of my mom pregnant so maybe one day down the road Kaiya will get to look at this pic and go "oh my mom was so cute when she was pregnant" ^_^ Anyway I see pics like this and it makes me smile so enjoy!

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!
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!

NEW PICS!!!!
Ok quick update here on all things Scout related. First up lisa's appointment went well on Monday and she is still in the A-O-K all clear category which is just such an answer to prayer for us. SO thank you Lord for keeping my little lisa and my little scout safe! Next up tuesday, thanks to Paul, we got a freebie ultra sound and as usual it was ultra cool so here are the three pics from that one
Other than that I still have not gotten a chance to take pics of stuff we have bought like crib and jogger and stuff but I will do that soon. Also I think we will be taking a picture of someones belly this weekend and no its not mine sicko! SO all that and more could or could not be coming your way if you stay tuned.
Side note -- For fathers day lisa took me up to the fairfield commons mall to the build a bear workshop and we made a cute little hello kitty for scout. We named her Neco Chan and she is really cute and wearing this adorable little bikini and wrap. TOOO CUTE! SO thats all for now.
Cheers!

Pics soon to come!
Well I have not had a lot of time to update lately and know that I am splitting my time between two blogs its also making it harder to get updates. That coupled with the fact that blogger is terribly slow during the day and sometimes wont let me in makes it difficult to get on. However I did want to provide some updates on how things are going and whats coming up next.
Lisa -- She is doing a lot better than she had been. The second tri-mester is being a lot nicer to her than the first and she is not nearly as sick as she was before. She still has an occasional day where she feels yucky and heartburn is still pretty common but it seems like things are getting better. yeah!!!!!
Scout -- Scout is doing well as best as we know. We are in week 16/17 right now which means scout is roughly like 8-9cm in length (crown to rump) and growing like a weed!
future dates of interest -
6/19 is our next scheduled visit. nothing real major happens here just a weigh in and check-up to see how mom and baby are doing. They might break out the doppler again to check the heart beat and basically will answer any questions we might have.
6/20 is out next ultrasound. Paul found out about a way for us to basically get a free ultrasound done which is awesome! so we are going to get that done next tuesday so you can expect another ultrasound pic next week! Thanks again Paul!
Other than that we have been busy working on the baby room and slowly but surely getting things we need. These are the fun pics that will be coming soon of things like the crib, mobile, stroller(s) and whatnots. SO stay tuned. hopefully I can get this up this week.
cheers!

Say hello to Scout!
Ok today was an amazing and awesome day. Well actually this whole week has been totally WOW. WE finally got to tell jason that Lisa was pregnant which means I can finally get some stuff up on this site. SO if you have not figured it out yet this Blog is dedicated to the baby in my sweeties tummy whom we are calling scout. Why scout? Why not -- its sounds tons better than "it" or "that thing in you that moves" SO scout it is! SO why was this week so cool! B/C on monday we got to hear scouts heartbeat and today we got to meet scout for the first time!!!! Yup lisa had here first ultrasound and bellow are some pics of it. I think I am going to put some little markers on them to help identify just where everything is. SO without further adu -- VOILA!!!
Ok here is the first shot of Scout demonstrating the one arm fist pump! Scout is ready for a Rock Concert or to stand off against "The Man!" Finally I have help in my battle against oppresion!
Couldnt see the one arm fist pump could ya? Well in this pic its spelled out for you. If you look close you can count the fingers 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 !!!!! Yes I know it should be 5 but the thumb is tucked into scouts hand. ITS a fist people!
Now after a fun day of hic-cup'ing and moving around making the girl doing the ultra sounds life very difficult (scout was all over the place it was hilarious!) We now see scout kickin back ol skool style and taking a chill. Right now scout's thinking "Im all laid back - with my mind on my money and my money on my mind!"
Still couldnt figure the pic out then blow this one up and see lots of cute details pointed out for your viewing pleasure! SO that is the big news of the day and it was lots of fun. It was too early to tell what the sex was going to be with 100% certainty so that was a bit of a bummer but we get another one in two months and and then it should be certain if scout is a boy or a girl. SO I hope everyone enjoyed this fun filled trip through my wifes womb and scouts little place to camp out.
Cheers!
