Well now that we are into (or at least closer to) the end of the first trimester...we thought we would spread the news far and wide. I think most everyone who reads our blog knows already...but if you don't...We are having baby #3. He or she is due on June 20, 2008. We went in on Tuesday for an ultrasound and the baby is growing well and developing just as he or she should be.
Per the ultrasound, the due date is right on, which puts me at 11 weeks tomorrow (November 30) We are so excited and the girls are too! They are spreading the word like wild flowers. Jaicie announced the news to her teachers both at school and at church. She is convinced that she is having a baby brother and tells everyone that repeatedly. But she also understands that we do not know yet what it is, and frequently reminds me if I happen to call the baby a He.
It is a funny thing to see a 4 1/2 year old so excited about a new sibling. For the most part the ultrasound pictures turned out pretty poorly...I think they are pretty poor quality compared to other ultrasounds that we have had but the actual video during the ultrasound was awesome. He is a wiggler. He was moving his little arms and legs (as tiny as they were) constantly. Looking back at Felicity's ultrasound at 10 weeks, they are very similar.
This baby's heart rate was only at about 160, which was about 14 beats per minute slower than both girls averages. Not saying anything about whether it is a boy or a girl...Old Wives tales! Anyway, the ultrasound was fun and exciting. So, here are some pictures for you to see. The first one is actually a 4d pictures. I had never seen one of my own baby before. So it was really cool for me. The arrow is pointing at the umbilical cord...Everyone asks if it is a boy because of the arrow...we won't know that for about 11 more weeks! So enjoy the pics!
