Paisley...Thumper...

By

These are the first two sonograms of our baby.

The first was taken on Dec. 8th, 2008 by Dr. Stein. This sonogram was done to confirm the number of embryos and initial development. (Fortunately, it was just one that was the right size in the right location!) After seeing this image, the baby got the nickname Paisley, because it looks like a Paisley


The next sonogram was done about two weeks later, on Dec. 18th, 2008. The purpose of this visit was again to check development, and, more excitingly, check for the heartbeat. I was really nervous going into this one. I felt good about things, but you never know. Justin was with me which was good. Dr. Stein found the heartbeat and turned up the sound. There it was - our baby's heartbeat. It was very cool and made it very real. It sounded like Thumper from Bambi - Paisley got a second nickname, "Thumper".

Our first appointment with the OB is tomorrow morning (Jan. 12th, 2009). It's been almost 4 weeks since the last sonogram. I can't wait to see how the baby has changed. I'm also a bit nervous since it's been so long since we've had new info about the baby. I have so many questions - I just hope that I remember them.

Quick clarification for Jared - the black blob at the center of the image is the baby. :)

Echo echo echo...

We welcomed a new pet to our home: Echo, a lovely red Betta. The name is all Spence, though he did pose a few other suggestions. Spence: I'm going to name it Bluey. Me: the fish is red. Spence: then I'll name it Reddy. Me: Let's stick with Echo. That's a cool name.

Sunday Afternoon in the Park

By
Could be a well known play, but in this case, it's the new Yankee Stadium. I picked up tickets Thursday afternoon for today's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. This is the first game we've been to at the new stadium. The new stadium is very nice - much more in line with other new stadiums. There is a lot more space in the walkways - more food options - and much better bathrooms! The latter being most important to me right now. Our tickets were in left field in the upper deck. All in all, decent seats - but the sun made them a bit unbearable. The game started off slow - I mean slow. The first two innings took almost 2 hours. We were roasting in the sun! Eventually, we decided to walk around to check out the rest of the stadium and get out of the sun. The game got much better after we starting moving. Eventually, we ended up on the first level watching the game from the walkway. The pregnancy bump paid off, because one of the ushers in this area let us sit down in the shade
