My mom came over this morning and we painted Little Sean’s nursery. Turns out that the best color that we could pick was the same one that we painted the upstairs bathroom and laundry room. It was a beautiful and breezy day, so we were able to shut the door to the room and open the windows all the way, and weren’t bothered at all by paint smells. 🙂
The room turned out great. We did two coats and scraped by with just enough paint. Click on the picture below to see how our day went!

We cleared out Little Sean’s room today. Click here to see pictures of the progress. We also got our bedding set yesterday (thanks Lary & Narni!), which helped us in finalizing our paint color. We’ll probably paint within the next 2 weeks or so. I took a picture of Little Sean’s very first ‘boy’ outfit. Paul picked it out the day we found out we were having a boy:
It’s getting really exciting to see the room starting to empty out and turn into a baby room.

We apologize for not taking a 19-week picture. I got so caught up in getting ready for going to Emmaus that I forgot. But, the 20 week picture is up. It doesn’t look like I’ve grown much, but I have definitely rounded out a bit. :-) CLICK HERE to see it.

Little Sean (that’s what we’re calling him until we get used to ‘Sean’) got a present on his ‘picture day’ yesterday from his Uncle Sean. Uncle Sean sent a super soft Pooh bear along with Narni (Paul’s mom). I got it right before the ultrasound and held it the whole time. It’s little Sean’s first stuffed animal 🙂 Thanks Uncle Sean!

Well, the ultrasound went really really well, and the news is…IT’S A BOY!
We noticed the little…err…big boy parts right away, he really liked showing them off. Baby Cahill is growing big and strong, and the doctor says everything looks perfect.
We have named him Sean Andrew. Sean, after Paul’s twin brother, and Andrew is my older brother Brian’s middle name. It’s really weird calling the baby Sean, but I guess we’ll get used to it. Click on the picture below to see the other pictures from the ultrasound.
We’re trying to get the video posted, but we’re going to have to cut off 1-2 minutes, since I think the videos on youtube are limited to 10 minutes. We’ll try to get it up tomorrow evening.
Paul managed to get a video small enough that it could be downloaded if you have a cable modem or DSL. The file is 96 MB. If you right click on the following link and choose “save file as” or “save target as”, you can save it to your local PC and then it should open in the Windows Media Player. RIGHT CLICK HERE We’re still trying to get one uploaded to youtube for those that aren’t as computer savy 🙂
Little Sean didn’t stop kicking, squirming and punching the entire ultrasound. He did NOT like to be poked and prodded and was trying to punch and kick the ultrasound thingy the whole time.
Paul and I went to Babies R Us and picked out a really cute overalls & long sleeve shirt set with race cars on it. Paul is already dreaming about all the ‘boy things’ he’s going to do with his son. Wow. That’s weird to say. 🙂

Tomorrow is the big day for our ultrasound! I’ll be 20 weeks, and our ultrasound is scheduled for 2:30pm. My mom is coming to the appointment, and Paul’s mom was able to take some time off work to fly down and come as well. We’re getting really excited! The baby has been kicking and moving like crazy, and we hope that it will cooperate for the ultrasound. Be on the lookout tomorrow night for the ultrasound video. We’re taping the entire ultrasound and will post it on our youtube account so everyone can watch it! How exciting!!!
If you haven’t voted yet, it’s your last chance! Post a comment today, and we’ll tabulate all the votes tonight!
Around Christmas, we’ll probably start a pool for birth date, weight and time of birth. There may even be prizes for the winners of those contests!ÂÂ

My friend Cathy had her baby shower this past Sunday. It was a lot of fun and they had some great games. My favorite was one where everyone got a baby bottle filled with apple juice and there was a contest to see who could drink 4 ounces the fastest. Well, us grown-ups couldn’t figure it out! When we finally got the flow going, it still took well over 15 minutes for anyone to even finish 2 ounces! Guess babies have the secret! 🙂
There is a really cute picture of Cathy and I together; she was heading into her 30th week, me into my 19th. What a difference 11 weeks can make! I’m sure my belly will match hers soon enough!
