Finally! The Cardinals Win!

After watching the Cardinals lose the last 3 games that we've been to (going all the way back to the 4th of July last year), we finally saw a win tonight! 13-6.

Albert Pujols blasted a home run and Scott Rolen added two doubles. We were in the outfield bleacher seats, which by the way, are really good, cheap seats. Here's some pics:



Who are these crazy fans?!?



"The Man" at the plate



Albert, moments before he mushed is 39th home run of the year.

Everyone be careful in your travels to Nashville this weekend!

Week 22 - A New Guest Room!

Alright!

Here and there over the last three weeks, we've been working on the basement to make a new guest room (since the old guest room is now Baby Aidan's room). We just wanted to make a space that would be comfortable and enjoyable for our distinguished guests.

Here are some before and afters!



Looking straight on, right off the stairs.



Looking at the old location of "Model Airplane Land" for those who have been to the house.



Looking out the window, (I still have one more piece of fabric to hang below the window sill.)

So, Mom's, Dad's, Sister, Brother, Friends: I hope you all will enjoy it when you come to visit. I think you will :)

Here's what's up with Baby Aidan this week!

Next week's post will be from the "Country Capital of the World", Nashville, TN! The Frost Family Adventure is saddlin' up for a visit to Grandma Peggy's and Great Aunt Dawna's!

All sorts of family and friends are converging on the city next weekend for Emmylou's Baby Shower!

Until then...have a great week!

Week 21 - Halfway Home

Hurray! The halfway point has passed!!

Little Aidan has been kicking a bunch this week, so says Emmy. He gets really excited when we play him classical music with the bebe sounds speaker system that I got for her. Which is pretty cool. We've started construction on the "Grandma's Suite" in the basement for those two important visitors when they come (and important Aunt when she comes...) It's going to look really awesome...you guys will not believe it. No pictures until we're finished though!!

Here's what's up with the 10 and a half inch little man this week!

Nothing else happening this week, just looking forward to the Baby Shower in Nashville over Labor Day.

Have a great week everyone.

Tyler and Emmy

It's going to be a boy!

One of Emmy's co-workers emailed this to us...pretty awesome!

I added a "ticker" up at the top of the blog to track Baby Aid's flight across the three trimesters.

Later!

Other Aidan Frosts?!....

So I typed in Aidan Frost this morning in Yahoo to see if any other person had this name and you are not going to believe this....

This is the only Aidan Frost I found, here's his website

Can you believe it?! Someone with that name is so into airplanes like me... and maybe like Baby A will be.

There is also an Aiden Frost ("e" not "a"). He's got a pretty cool site too here.

Week 20 - A New Design, A Baby's First and Two Very Excited Parents

Well, well. It's week 20. At the end of this week, we will have reached the half way point of Baby Aidan's 40 week journey. Sadly from this point on we no longer have a fruit or vegetable to compare the baby to ;( Here's what's up with the "10-incher" this week.

Since we've got confirmation on the boy thing, I redesigned our site to be a little more Aidan-like. I think he would approve. Can you believe we're having a boy? I can't wait for teaching and watching sports, Tonka Trucks, and model trains and planes. And if it would have been a girl, I'd be writing about building her a doll house, teaching her how to draw things and scrapbook and even sports too! So don't think that I'm one-sided. I'm just so glad that he is healthy and happy. He doesn't have a clue how much joy and pride are waiting for him, especially from this parent.

So Baby A, got some first's yesterday (even though he's in utero). We went to Scott Air Force Base just on the other side of the Mississippi River and watched the airshow. Pretty awesome, they had a F-22 flyover, which was the first time I've seen that aircraft before. It was a nice jet.
The USAF Thunderbirds also performed and that darn #6 plane that flies over fast in a surprise pass got me again! Dang, I always watch for that! Scares the crap out of ya!

While that was exciting, for me and baby A, we weren't done yet. Next we headed down to the Arch to see the last of the free summer concerts there. Performing last night was the band Live. They weren't too bad; played most of their famous songs. Baby A's first rock concert, kinda. So all in all, a good day for us and the A-man.

The Aidan Book Club has been posted on the left column; which are selections that we try to read to him every night.

Everyone have a fantastic week!

Ty, Emmy, and Aidan!

I present to you....Aidan Matthew

So here we are, 19 and a half weeks into this Adventure and the big day has come.

Aidan Matthew Frost has been named!!

Welcome Aid! We love you!


The ultrasound tech said that she was so confident that it was a boy that we could go home and "paint the room blue". I'd agree, it's definitely a boy!

Aidan is growing very well, all organs and such are developing exactly the way that our Doctor wanted to see. We recieved the Quad Screen Panel back, which gives the probablity that the baby would have Down's, Spina Bifida, etc, and the chances are 1 in 4479 (which makes the chances very, very slim). We saw his fingers moving around and that his bladder and stomach were filled, meaning that he's swallowing and since the bladder is full means that his kidney function is workin' good!

Here's today's pics (money shot is the last one!)



Baby A's Foot Print!



Baby A's Face (mouth wide open, probably tired of being pestered with the Ultrasound waves)



Baby A's Side Shot (check out that spine! Spiney-man)

Here it is.....the BIG Announcement!!

OK, friends and family...what Emmy and I have been so waiting for: The BIG Announcement. We saw what we needed to see and the little one looks great! More on the update later. But for now, it gives me great pleasure to present the Baby Gender Video.

Week 19 - THE WEEK

So I've been putting so much faith that on Wednesday the baby's gender will be revealed. I really hope that the baby is down with cooperating with me.

Emmy's feeling really well, growing in all the good ways. She thought on Saturday night that she felt the baby move/kick/etc, which was really exciting for her. It just so happened that I was studying and we were listening to classical music. When the song came to a big crescendo ending, the baby kicked! Yeah baby! Maybe you'll be a conductor or a musician someday.

Speaking of music, we decided to give in to the "current" prenatal fad of playing classical music to the little one. So we splurged and purchased the Bebe sounds system with microphone and fetal speakers so that she can "rock out" in the amniotic sac. Plus, I've been reading "Goodnight Moon" to him or her every night before bedtime. We have friends who did this and now Hannah is very tuned to knowing that this book means it's time to go to bed, including getting fussy near the end (because she know's it's near the end), when the "old lady says "hush"". Pretty cool, huh? We're amassing books for the little one all the time and are up to about 10 so far. I'll post a new column later with all the books we have, just in case you run across a good deal (I'll pay ya back!).

And finally, we bought and put together the crib and changing table this weekend. Maybe a little early, but we're just so darn excited....what can you do!?

Here's what's up with the small zucchini this week.

Well, the big post will come as soon as I get back to work from the 10:30A appointment on Wednesday. I've got both announcement videos ready to fly (which you'll have to watch to see what it is!!!)

Have a great week everyone!

Love,
Ty and Emmy
