Baby Shower Pictures, both in Simi and SLO

So I've come to realize that having a "photo album" on this site is a little difficult. So hopefully this link will re-direct you to where you can view photos easier or as a slideshow. Let me know if this works or not. Click here to see the pictures in SLO or here for Simi. If you are harboring any pictures for either baby shower please send them to me. Thanks!

First Ultrasound, about 12 weeks.

For those of you who haven't seen this. It was our first ultrasound.

Jeremy and I decided to have a test done called FirstScreen where an ultrasound is performed to measure the fluid filled space at the back of the neck (it's called nuchal translucency). This combined with a sample of my blood (it was only 5 pin pricks) was to predict the likelihood of trisonomy 18 and Down Syndrome. Needless to say the screening came back negative and the chances were very low.

A head-tail measurement was also done to determine exactly how far along I was. Our original due date was 10/27, but after the ultrasound, the due date was moved forward a week to 11/4.

During the ultrasound the baby turned toward the transducer and we saw the baby's face. It was alien-like with gaping black areas where the eyes will develop. VERY COOL!

Just starting out...

Dear Family and Friends,


We're going to see how this works. I figured this would be the easiest way to let all of you know what's happening, especially once the little one decides to join in on the fun we're having on the outside, and post pictures that hopefully you'll be able to save. If not, I always have that flicker account.

Until the big day arrives...
