Stoner has a BIG BOY name!

We have finally after months of debating, fighting, crying (Eric is a wuss) and some hurt feelings (double wuss) decided on a name for the baby formerly known as "Stoner". We are happy to introduce Deegan Oliver Heim or (DOH for those Homer Simpson fans). We wanted to use my grandfathers middle name Oliver but there was no way we could use this as the first name as I am a closet musical junkie and would run around singing Oliver Twist songs all day. I wouldn't be the only one either .... thanks to many childhood Christmas' with the tradition of watching this movie I know my brother, Mom and Chris would join in on the songs!!! We are also giving him Eric's grandfather's Indian name .... don't ask me how to say or spell it!


Here is a picture at my grandmother's 85th Birthday. We announced his name to the family by writing it in her birthday card :)

Gut Check!

Yep, the gut is getting bigger! Eric keeps saying its not a gut ... its a baby, but every time I look down I just see gut. Except for my expanding waistline, everything is going great ... I haven't heard if I passed the diabetes test but I am assuming no news is good news which means more ice cream for Stoner and I. Speaking of Stoner, Eric and I are still working on names but we still haven't found one yet ... any suggestions are greatly appreciated :)

I also have a ton of people asking what the nursery looks like. Well ... it looks like a second bedroom still as we haven't even started! We are still hoping to sell this place before he comes but the chances are slim to none at this point. I posted a picture of the bedding I am getting ... of course they have way more stuff then I need but its green and that makes me happy!

26 Years and 26 Weeks

I had a great birthday week ... yes week! I had enough pizza, Chinese and cake to last me a lifetime. If I pass my gestational diabetes test this week I will be amazed!!!


We went up to Fort Collins for the weekend to see our good friends Chris and Julia. Chris and Eric were college roommates and it just so happens Julia and I are 3 weeks apart in our pregnancy. It will be great to see these tough, motocross loving, plane flying friends toting around baby gear! This is their pregnancy progress report.


This is our progress report ... 26 weeks (me) and 30 weeks (Julia). You will get the whole timeline at the end!




This is a 3D picture of Stoner's face ... you can see his eyes, nose and fingers on the face. According to Julia, there was something in front of his lips so he DOESN'T have gigantic lips like his father. Oh and I did ask about the nose and that apparently looks distorted in the ultra sounds (like a fish-eye lens) so there is a chance he won't be Beeky #2!!!

Is it really a Boy???

Umm, no question here! My grandma asked the other night if we were sure it was a boy as the ultra sound could have been wrong. Thanks to Jackie's photographic skills, I am pretty confident by this picture that it is a boy. Of course Eric was proud of his son's "junk" and Jackie and I could not get over how long the child kept his legs open for us. He is definitely a Heim ... no lack in self confidence!

Unfortunately I have no other news and thought I would put any hopes of a girl down to rest. Sorry Nanny ... maybe the next one :)

24 Weeks ... OOH BABY

Here is a picture of the baby bump. Little Stoner is measuring a week ahead and my belly is measuring 2 weeks ahead ... hopefully he comes early!!! Now I know some of you probably did a double take on "Stoner" but that is what we call our unborn child, HA! The story behind the name is this: when we first found out we were pregnant we were all gung-hoe about looking at baby names and this was one that we came across. We died laughing and there were several comments posted about the name pleading no one should ever name their child after pot smoking hippies. I know someday it will come back to him that we nick-named him Stoner!
