Baby Boy!



It's a boy! Our little guy did great in the ultrasound. Our ultrasound tech is a heart specialist, so she took all kinds of pictures of his heart. He has all his chambers and arteries and they are connected properly. His stomach and kidneys and brain look beautiful also! She couldn't get a good look at his spine because he was sitting up crisscross applesauce against my spine, so we have to go back in 3 weeks for some more pictures. Darn. :-D The tech and the doctor both assure us that nothing looks funny, they just have to see it. He looks beautiful! Mommy thinks he looks like Adam and Lisa thinks his nose looks like Emily. Maybe it's both. Can't wait for our next glimpse at him. Now to come up with some boy names.

Also, as promised, some pictures of my latest projects. I love the way this blanket turned out. I made these mittens this weekend after we met our little boy. :-D

16 weeks




So, defiantly progressing on the baby belly. I cannot wear any of my dress pants, so for school this week I had to try out the maternity pants for the first time. Comfy. :-D

I also finished the baby blanket I started, but as my husband and his camera are almost never home when I am awake, I don't have a picture of it. It looks like I will need to get my own camera before this baby gets here.

Other news from our house: School has started. Bridges is a lot less intimidating the second time around. The first two days were almost easy. I guess that is the benefit of having all the same kids in the same room with the same staff. I am keeping up a blog there too, if anyone is interested: Bridges Rocks!

Also, our dear Emily Fleenor the original has gone away to school this very evening and left all of us to think about how awesome she is and how lousy our lives are without her. Good thing she is going to have such a good time. :-D
