Steve and Maria Frey

So before I was ever pregnant, my cousin’s 9 year old called me one day and said, “Ria, when you have a baby, you should name it Chili Cheese.” She was pretty proud of her suggestion, and who am I to stomp on creative thoughts? So without further adieu, here’s our first picture of Chili Cheese Frey.

They told us that everything looked exactly how it should so far. It appeared that we have a good little seed growing, and all the “mom’s” numbers came back well. It turns out that I’m 9 weeks along instead of the 10 that they initially thought. So that moves the due date to July 21, 2009.

Steve was pretty excited about the whole deal. (and visually scarred from the OB/GYN office) He immediately picked up on where the baby’s heart was, and heard the heartbeat even before the nurse told us. I think I zoned out so good thing this kid has at least one attentive parent so far!

We’ve had a few rainy days lately here in Charlotte. Rain is good though. It replenishes the land, and keeps Steve busy at work! I suppose if you work in the Storm Water department, rain is good for job security…unless it proves failure in one of your projects.

In case you didn’t realize it, Steve works downtown er…”uptown” and his office is on the 14th floor. (We all know it’s really 13…come on superstition.) He managed to get a shot of the view today from his window. Even a rainy, wintery day can have it’s multicolored linings.
