Here's The Baby!!!



Here is our beautiful little baby!!! Isn't he/she gorgeous? Yes, we are having only one, there are no twins in there.




We even got to hear the heartbeat! It was so loud and fast! It was 170 BPM. Pretty sure it's a girlie!! It was so amazing to hear it and know it's inside me, growing and living.



This is a picture of the umbilical chord. It's amazing to see it--it's a lot more real when you can see it. The coolest part was when I would breathe in and out and you could see the baby move a little with each breath I took. I can't wait to go back again-- they want me to do 2 more ultra sounds in the next month!! Everyone wants to know why they want me to do 2 more ultra sounds... Apparently when they screen for Down Syndrome they like to do an ultra sound and then they like to do one 2 weeks later when they screen for some other abnormality. We won't find out if it's a boy or girl until the first week of October. It's ok, I like having a lot of ultra sounds.

So much fun. I wish my doctor did ultrasounds early, but I really like him so I am not going to switch just to get more ultrasounds. You are lucky. They say when you see the heartbeat you have less than a 5% chance of miscarriage and that the due date is more accurate in an early ultrasound as well. Plus, thos tiny pictures are so cute; enjoy them while you can.

I lOVE IT!!! How cute. It is crazy that in just a few months there will be very little room left for the baby to move around in there. What an amazing plan. I am so excited for you guys.

HIJACK

This post is not coming to you VIA Jennifer. This is her husband, Erik. I decided to hijack her blog (ah...the things you can do when in possession of another's password) and tell her how I feel about her. This will probably not be posted for long, I am sure as soon as she sees it she will remove it. HERE GOES! Jennifer, my dear, I love you oh so very much. On Monday is our 1 year anniversary! A whole year! That may not seem like much, but my oh my it has flown by quickly. Since you are a relative young'un that year actually represents around 4.76% of your entire lifespan(thus far). I still keep my eye out for things that represent 'US'. Who can forget the 'EJ' Truck? I have never stopped looking for, nor noting 28s as they pop up all over the place. I notice all of the little things you do. I notice the little faces you make. I notice the little noises you make. I notice the slight shifting of your posture in response to my incessant joking. This face was made...

One Month Old

Tyler turned one month old on Friday! He has grown and changed a lot just in the last couple of weeks. It is so much fun to watch him now that he is smiling and holding his head all the way up and clasping his hands together--interlaced as if in prayer. He is the cutest baby (ok, so I'm biased). We've had a hard week though (make that almost two weeks--I've been trying to publish this post for 5 days). The other day he screamed for almost 24 hours straight. Luckily Jaime came over to show me how to help relieve his gas and he calmed down for a couple of hours. He has been up all night, up all day and just kind of hard to deal with. Of course I still love him, which is weird. Usually its hard to love someone who deprives you of sleep. :) Update: Like I said, I have been trying to publish this for almost a week--I have had literally no time between work and a screaming baby and laundry and dishes and cooking and cleaning but alas I think I now have 5 minutes! Anyway, Ty...
