  • It's a Girl!!!

    For anyone who still might be browsing my page, I'm finally taking some time to update everyone on the baby... It's a girl, as we found out earlier this week.  We had a fun time registering for shower/Christmas/whatever gifts for the little one, and we're still picking out several names.  We're both excited, and my wife is doing just fine.  The little girl is quite a kicker, we might have to put her in soccer when she's older...


    Here's a ultrasound picture, it's the first one we had that we could actually recognise what parts are what.  Just in case you haven't looked at one of these before, don't worry, the doctor can point out what's what, and it's easier to see when you're not looking at still images:



    • In the first one, the baby is on it's side, looking towards the top of the picture, the head (on the right) isn't as clear in the first one as it is in the second, but you can see an arm sticking up in the air, and make out a few little fingers. 

    • In the second one, the baby is looking at the "camera" and you can see the dark circles where the eyes are.  Parts of the arms and legs are visible.

    And here's an earlier heartbeat using a doppler-type system.  (The heartbeat is the wooshing waves, the thing that sounds like an actual heartbeat is actually the beat of the muzak playing in the background)
