Baby Roussel's Photoshoot!


For all of you who haven't gotten to see Baby Roussel yet, here's his or her first photoshoot for the world to see! As you can see, he/she is just hanging out! The head is on the right, and the crossed legs on are the left. You can even see a hand waving! He/She must have known that we were snapping a few pics to share with the world, and wanted to look cute!

We are now bloggers!

We've decided that with all of our far away friends and family, we'd start a blog to keep everyone up to date on all things Baby Roussel!

To get everyone caught up, we found out on Christmas Eve that we were expecting the best present we could ever ask for - a baby! Nothing has ever been as special as that day for Blake and me. We had a wonderful wedding and have had a great marriage, but NOTHING compares to the day you find out that you are bringing a new little person into the world. We couldn't be happier, and are so looking forward to the day when Baby Roussel will come home with us (and meet Mr. Bociphus, who just knows that something is up, but isn't quite sure what that is)!

Fast forward a few months, and we've now had a few peeks of Baby Roussel (in which he/she is generally napping peacefully, but did a little dance once), and we're facing the decision of whether to find out if we're having a boy or girl! At first, we had decided to keep it a big secret until the very end, where our doctor would announce to the world what we're having. However, that creates the dilemma of having NO CLUE what to buy, and I've found out that I'm not a big fan of gender neutral decor and clothing.

We have about 10 days to decide whether we want to find out, because our next appointment is Thursday, March 25, at which, if cooperative, we should be able to determine if we're going to have a little cheerleader or a little baseball player (or whatever they decide to do)!

Stay tuned, as Blake is going to scan our latest ultrasound picture tomorrow, where you can see Baby Roussel hanging out (totally relaxed, with legs crossed up in the air) from two weeks ago. Hopefully this is indicative of a relaxed and calm baby to come (although I'm not holding my breath)!

Love to all!
Blake, Lindsey, and Baby Roussel (and of course, Bociphus)
