Catching up...

Well, since we somehow didn't update the blog at all in the month of September, we thought now would be a good time to do it before we miss October also. We've anxiously been counting down the time until we get to meet our little guy. Thanks to Jordan's grandparents and other family members, his bedroom and wardrobe are growing, seemingly by the day. Andy has been trying to familiarize Jordan with his voice by reading to him almost every night for the past couple of weeks. Jordan has gotten to hear many classics already such as: Dr. Seuss, Amelia Bedelia, and The Berenstain Bears.

Registry!

Since we found out we're having a boy, quite a few people have been asking if and where we are registered. Today we finally had a chance to go to Babies-R-Us and scan everything in the store. For those who are interested, here is the link to our registry.

The Verdicts Are In...

Boy or Girl?
On Tuesday August 17th we had our 20 week doctor's appointment. Within about 20 seconds of the ultrasound, the nurse knew the verdict. We still don't know how she could tell he was a boy that fast! She then printed out 8 pictures for us.

Name?
We've also been talking about names. We've been set on a first name for a girl and the middle name for a boy for a while now. Just last night we decided for sure that our newest addition is going to be Jordan Andrew Crosby.

Update on the baby pool
We have had a lot of interest in the baby pool. The original one filled up pretty quickly so we started a second one. You can check it out by clicking here. We're hoping to get both filled up before Jordan arrives. He already has a nice little savings account, thanks to everyone who has chosen to gamble on his punctuality. Thank you so much!!

You can also see our online gallery with all our baby pictures so far.

Crosbaby Arrival Pool

We have a Baby Crosby Arrival Day Pool set up for friends and family to predict the arrival date for Baby. Basically, you buy a date and if Baby arrives on that date, you win half the money collected and the other half goes toward starting Baby's savings account. The prices range from $40 on the actual due date (1/1/11) all the way down to $1 three weeks early and two weeks late.

If there is a lot of interest and we fill up the squares we'll gladly start a second pool. So if a date is taken that you really wanted, let Andy know.

Below is the link to the Pool on Google Spreadsheets. Everyone should be able to view the sheet. This should always be the most up to date version.

If you would like to buy a square text, call, Facebook, or email Andy the day you'd like to have. (Text is probably best option)

We'd Like Your 2 Cents (and 1 vote)

On August 17th we will be heading back to the doctor for the much anticipated visit where they tell us boy or girl. We've decided to see if you all would like to make an official guess. Plus we wanted to try out this online poll feature.

What do you think Crosbaby will be when we find out the sex on August 17th?

• Boy
• Girl

First attempt at Blogging!

Hi all! So we decided to start a blog since our family is going to be growing and so much of our family lives far away. We hope we can keep up with the blog and keep everyone up to date on the things that happen and all that is developing with us. Right now, Andy is finishing up his Summer Break and getting ready to go back to school in August with a new batch of students, and Nez is finishing up her crazy summer of kids' programming at the library. Baby is getting bigger by the day and Nez already has her baby bump showing. Click on the link below to see Baby's progress so far.
