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. :)

Spencer Time

By
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

Called up

This weekend, the t-ball team was short a few players. Spencer was called up from the practice team to fill in. He was one of the smallest on the field, but played well, even teaming up with Jack for an out!

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...
