It's a BOY!

It is official...we are having a BOY! The ultrasound confirmed that we will be welcoming a little Charlie Shaw into the world next year. Most importantly, we heard that the baby is right on track as far as growth and that all of his vital organs are functioning properly. It is such a relief to hear his little heart beating each time we go in for a check up. It just reminds me of how fortunate we are.

As for me, this pregnancy has been one of the best times of my life. I have felt better than ever and have only put on 6 pounds. I am finally wearing maternity clothes full time. We just celebrated 20 weeks or 5 months last Thursday. It is incredible to believe that we are already half way through! The baby has just started to make his presence known with a few little kicks here and there. It is still very faint, but I am sure the intensity will pick up quickly.

Nick has been wonderful throughout the entire pregnancy. He has become very protective of the baby and me. I have to say that this experience has definitely shown me just how wonderful and loving he is going to be as a father.

Again, I want to thank everyone for their love and support! We hope to keep you posted on the baby's progress through this website. Check back every once in a while to share in our joy!

Love,
Lindsay & Nick
