Today, I became THAT dad

Well, it has happened already. You might rightly wonder what it is that has happened. Allow me to paint a picture to illustrate the event:

13 Weeks

The night we went to the Lion King (February 22nd) was the 13 week mark!  This picture of the BB bump was taken the day after!  I can't believe how big the bump is getting already.  Sorry for the not so great quality.  The picture was taken with Josh's iPad.

BB's Big Night Out

As Lyndsie mentioned in an earlier post, for Christmas she pre-planned a date for every month this year. The awesome thing about this little gift is that it allows us to continue to do fun things AND they have already been paid for. How thoughtful!

Our date for February was to go see the Lion King on Broadway (in Richmond) at the Landmark Theater. I was pretty excited about the trip as I've heard multiple times about the amazing costumes and staging. Although I had heard about these amazing things, seeing them in person was something else entirely. It was nothing short of astounding. I audibly gasped at several scenes because of the sheer awesomeness that was the costuming.

My baby has hands!

This week we returned to the doctor for a check-up. BB's mom has been having sinus issues so she hasn't been feeling well. We were hoping the doctor would be able to give her some stronger medicine to knock out the sinus issues and prevent further sickness while making sure BB was still doing well.

The doctor's office was not very crowded which was very exciting. There's nothing worse than feeling like you are being rushed through when you have important medical questions. The doctor immediately decided that Mommy needed an antibiotic for the sinus infection and impending ear infection. Fortunately, it turns out pregnant women can take certain antibiotics without issue so we excitedly snatched up the offer of a prescription. Now on to the good part: baby talk!
