First Profile

By

Monday, I had the nuchal translucency scan. The procedure itself is stressful based on what it's testing for. However, it was very cool to have a more lengthy sonogram of the baby (new pictures posted). This is the first time that Justin has seen the baby since we heard the heartbeat in December. Our baby has grown a lot! Its length is on track for our due date. It has a profile, arms, legs, fingers, and toes. It was moving all over the place and seemed to be hiccuping - based on the jerks, it has my hiccups. Crazy to see that happening inside me when I can't feel anything.

Back to the test - the technician said that we'll get results in a week. I'm hoping that everything is "in normal range" and that we do not need to consider additional tests.

The pictures are cool - you can see the profile. I think that the baby has Justin's nose - check the 1st picture. :)

In other news - my clothes are getting tight! The next purchase is going to be a new pair of jeans.

Spencer Time

A few recent pictures of Spencer. He is growing like crazy and picking up all sorts of new skills like grabbing toys on the playmat, grabbing blankets or clothes and shoving them in his mouth, and his new favorite pastime, putting his feet in his mouth (with or without socks!).     Learning all the tricks on his first flight. We lucked out and got an extra seat for his carseat (ok, I lucked out, but still...)  Sleepy times with Grandma    Enjoying a new toy!   Such a big boy

Growing up

By
Jack and Spence "graduated" from their respective preschool programs in the last couple of weeks. While the road along the way wasn't always the smoothest, the outcome couldn't be better. At Spencer's 2s club event, the kids demonstrated all the new skills they had learned in the gym. Lots of forward rolls, big jumps on the trampoline, and amazing core strength. The kids then enjoyed their favorite book of the year: mean soup. Afterward each child received an award. Spencer followed Jack's footsteps on this part by refusing to go up to accept the award. Regardless, we were so proud of Spence. He loved having his independence, being involved in a class, making new friends, and just having fun. Next year Spence starts preschool at the Y. Jack's tender care graduation was last friday. The event was held in the Little Theater at the Y. Jack was so excited to be on the stage. The class sang several songs ending with what has to be the anthem of kids 3...
