A trip to Moody Gardens

We have a name!! Our little boy will be Owen Quinton Mansfield. Owen is a name Brian and I have liked for a long time and it means young warrior, which I already can tell is fitting for him. The middle name is a family name. It was my grandparent's last name, who have both passed on but I believe helped bring Owen to us.

Owen is growing and growing! In fact, on our trip to San Francisco Brian was able to feel him kick for the first time-it was incredible!!

San Francisco!!

We rented a car for one day and these were the average gas prices...I'm not going to complain anymore about paying $3 a gallon here!

Heather in the wine country....no glass in hand

Brian in the wine country sipping on some good stuff

Chocolate!! Now your talking my language!

You can't tell by the picture but that jellyfish sting really hurt

The Aquarium in San Francisco

The crookedest street in the world-Lombard Street

Public Transportation bites.....

Heather in Alamo Square-better known as the "Full House" street

This is me and my belly inside a cell at Alcatraz-notice I am not touching ANYTHING!! I could not stop thinking about the germs there :)
Brian behind bars in Alcatraz...he looks kinda scared

Brian and I on the boat ride to Alcatraz


This is me at Fisherman's Wharf

This is me in front of the Golden Gate Bridge on a boat tour. The headphones were for the audio part of the tour.

Since Im a teacher and have all summer off we figured this would be a good time to get a lot done. So, Brian started on the nursery this week. The walls and ceiling are going to be blue and the trim will be brown.

Hey y'all- So I started the whole blog thing. I hope this is a fun way for everyone to catch up and stay in touch with us. Please check back for updates and leave us comments. Love, Heather and Brian

Here is our little guy. We learned that day he is definately a boy!!

These are our first two babies-Khaki and Rosco. Boy, are they in for a surprise?

This is what the bedding looks like. We are going for a light blue and dark brown color scheme.

This is my new mommy car-the mustang was a little small. It seats 8 so we should be good :)

This is what I look like today at 19 weeks.....keep in mind the camera adds 10 pounds. So, now I know your next question is-so how many cameras are on you....haha, very funny.
