Video clip of the ultrasound!

Here is a little video clip of the ultrasound...didn't capture much...but I wanted Poke to experience this with me, and not behind the camera...the whole time anyways. :) The clip is of when the technician was pointing out that he was a boy. His current weight is 12 ounces and his heart rate was 150bpm.

It's a BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this 4D image...after awhile he put his little chubby hand across his face. I think he was trying to tell us something...he had enough! :)

This is one of the 4D images. Hopefully you can make it out. He his lying straight up and down, with his hands up by his chin. If you look close you can see him smiling! When we were doing the ultrasound she switched it to 4D just for fun. We wont actualy get our official complimentary session until 28 weeks, and the photos will be in color. This is the first 4D image that we saw of him, and I made the comment how cute he is...and he smiled, she was able to capture the moment. Talk about pulling the heart strings! I love him so much already!!!!

Here he is...our precious baby boy!!! This is my favorite profile picture.

Me and my sis...the preggers!

First Baby Shower

Ms. Donna (gram), Ms. Anne, and Ms. Susan's Sunday school class hosted a surprise baby shower for us!!! There were games, cupcakes, and presents...if was a lot of fun to see the kids get excited over the baby, and probably the only baby shower the boys will ever attend! :) Thank you to them for putting this together! We are blessed to have so many special people in our lives!

Start of the nursery

Here's a pic of Poke putting the crib together...getting the nursery ready...but we still have lots left to do.

Update - 07/10/09

We got great news from the doctor this morning, my blood work came back normal...Praise God!!! Which means out of the 40 birth defects they test for, the baby does not have any of them (to include my birth defect, spina bifida, which was a risk of me passing down). We would have loved it either way, but a blessing that it is healthy. So this means the next doctor's appointment wont be until August, when we will find out what our little miracle is. I will try to get more pictures up soon. Especially of this wonderful new figure I am sporting these days...lol...things are definitely getting tighter.

Happy Fourth of July

Went to the doctor on Friday and all went well. The baby's heart beat was 162. I'm am going in on Monday for blood work, to rule out birth defects. Although this test is optional, he strongly recommended it due to my history of spina bifida (which increases the chance the baby will have it.) So please remember us in your prayers, as I will keep you all posted on the results.
Stay tuned we get an ultrasound on August 1st to determine the sex!!!!
