William Thomas Orosz

We have a name for our first little boy!

William Thomas Orosz

William is Matt's dad and grandfather's first name on his father's side, my great-grandfather's on my dad's side, and the middle name of Matt's grandfather on his mother's side who Matt was named after. We love the name and are very happy to carry on a traditional family name. We plan to call him by his full name, William.

Thomas is for St. Thomas of Villanova -- the saint our alma mater, Villanova University, is named after. Villanova is where we met and where this all began, and so it holds a very special place in our hearts.   

We can't wait to finally meet William in 17 short weeks!

Nursery In Progress

And the nursery decorating continues! My GREAT friend George the Painter was by a couple weeks ago to paint the room (much to Matt's dismay, but I think a painter is worth their weight in gold!) and so all we had left for the walls was to get the crown moulding up. So over the past weekend Matt and Colby got to it and had it all done in only two hours. Matt is going for handyman status and so far he's passing with flying colors! I'm still leaving the painting to George though.

So it seems all the basics are in place now... crib, dresser, rug, and book shelf and in the coming months we'll add drapes, artwork, and so on. Matt's next handyman job: baby closet!

Detail work... Matt's favorite



All done! And thoroughly impressed

Rug is in too!

20 Week Appointment

Yesterday I had my 20 week ultrasound and everything looked great with Baby O! I am technically 21 weeks and a couple days, but with our trip to Chicago I had to postpone the ultrasound by a week. In this particular ultrasound they measure and take note of everything -- from cranium size to belly size to fingers and toes, etc. -- a tiny baby physical. Our boy is measuring 21 weeks and a few days along, weighs 1 pound, heartbeat was 148 today (130 last time and 170 the time before) and his feet are around 1 inch long! Hard to believe babies usually only weigh 1 pound by the halfway mark and then gain 5-7 pounds in the same amount of time up till D-Day. We were very happy with our results and got a few pictures too!
