Second Ultrasound

So here they are for all of you who have been bugging us, Alisa, we have new pics. We did have the second ultrasound and so far the baby looks healthy and just like last time it didn't want to cooperate. So we go in a few more weeks so they can finish. Only our child would not want it's picture taken, go figure. We do have some really cool pics for everyone this time, such as the one of the heart (you can see all 4 chambers),





a hand,



a foot,




and another face shot.





The interesting thing is after this ultrasound Jordan turned to me and asked again, "are you really having a baby? This is an elaborate joke you are playing me." I looked at him and said "yes dear, I wouldn't purposefully make myself vomit."

Everything is going great right now. I'm done being sick, for the time being. My coworkers say I finally look pregnant. Something about wearing big scrubs makes me not show. Who knew. Jordan is being very helpful these days which is awesome. We are almost ready to start putting together/decorating the nursery. We had to fix a small leak and moldy wall first. Love owning a house. We are also in the process of picking out names. This a lot harder than either of us thought it would be. Apparently we are very picky about what we name our child. The book we got is helping but so far we only agree on one girls name. Although there is a great list at the beginning. It's popular celebrity baby names. Yep staying far away from that list. Well so far that's what's been going on in our lives. We might have some more pics in a few weeks, months, or whenever the baby gets here. We'll see.

Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's right, I've finally put the first ultrasound pictures up. Kacey's got another ultrasound appointment on the 23rd, so we'll put a few of those up, too.

This one is the hand. Looks to have opposable thumbs, which is good. Much easier to eat finger foods that way:
Looks to have no opposable toes; so much for it being a monkey-child. Or maybe this one is the hand. I don't remember:This is a profile shot. There's a nasal bone in there:
And this is the one the nurse called the scary alien face. I don't think it looks too bad. If it stays that way, we won't even have to buy Halloween costumes for our kid:

Hope you all enjoy these. More to come soon!

All holidayed out.

Wow, yeah. The holidays were spent with much merrymaking with both sets of family and a whirlwind 5 meals in 2 days. Now we're back in Columbia, and Kacey has her next ultrasound appointment in a week or two. Guess that means it's about time to get the old pictures up. I did realize, after making promises of pictures, that I still have to scan them all in and get them to a good size to upload, and I also realized why it's so stupid that software companies issue serial numbers with their programs. I have to dig up the number so that I can install Photoshop and get the pictures to a more manageable size. So...once that's done, I'll really put them up. I promise. I don't promise how long it's going to take to locate my serial number, though. Maybe I'll just scan them a million times until I find one that's the right size.

Anyway, Kacey's still healthy (had a doctor visit last week), and our house is getting in shape for the kid to appear. I cut a big hole in the wall to find a potential leak in our attic, and found nothing; nothing apart from the somewhat moldy drywall and moisture in our insulation. I had the roofers out to look for leaks, but they told me they couldn't find anything, so they took apart the box vents and resealed them. Hopefully that'll take care of it. I definitely don't want to cut open my walls every year.

That's our fun for now.

19 weeks done! 21 to go!
