Ultrasound photos and update!

Had an ultrasound yesterday. It was amazing! Didn't know it would take 45 minutes for the technician to look at all baby's organs and parts. Fascinating what technology can do! It's almost certain baby is a boy! He wasn't afraid to show us anything. He kept moving around a lot; our favorite part was looking at his face and seeing him yawn! I didn't need to drink any liquid before the ultrasound and thought I had relieved myself before, but about half way through, it got very uncomfortable. Even the tech made a comment that she notice my bladder was getting full. Geez, thanks...

This first picture is the stereotypical profile picture. Baby is on its back and its head is on the right. Its arms were up in the air waving at us!

This second photo is a picture of his face. He's on his left side looking at us; you can see his right eye socket really well and his mouth. It's sorta creepy! Looks more like a skeleton since he doesn't have a lot of fat on his body yet.

Baby's due date is still around the 20th of July. Everything is growing evenly and in proportion. I've gained 3-4 lbs since my first doctor's appointment on the 31st of December. Not bad, but it feels like 20 lbs. Cravings are gone; it's Garrett that craves Wendy's frosty floats. Been feeling awesome; no sickness and just a little tired. Baby is going on his first plane ride to Maui in a few weeks. Can't wait!

February Already!

Wow, can't believe how time is flying by!

We had a bridal shower for Marina last weekend, before Superbowl.

So all the decorations you see were up for a few hours,

and then Garrett requested them down... party pooper.

We still had a lot of fun; got manicures, played pictionary, laughed,

ate, laughed more, then made pompoms! Almost 1 more month!

Of course our "babies" were there too! Don't they look like they're related!

Ok, and a picture of the belly... finally. It's our 16 week picture.

Starting to show...a little. I'm at the stage where people are wondering

if I'm really pregnant or just gaining some extra winter weight.

I've told some of my students, but the ones who don't

know are polite and haven't asked yet.

Everyone has been telling me how all of a sudden

all the fatigue and morning sickness disappears!

This is the first week where I can start to believe them.

My new cravings are Sam Sato's dry saimin

(which I'll have to wait another month for) and cheese Pizza Hut pizza. And finally, this is what happens when the boys are bored. It's been cold here, so we decided to put some clothing on Sport. He absolutely HATES it! He thinks he's in trouble and refuses to move. The boys thought it would be funny to put his jacket on his hindlegs instead, and then stick one of his toys out the back...
