15 weeks....

Hey everyone. I went to see Dr. Tadvick this morning. Before I went, I had every intention of asking for a sonogram. With Jame coming home next week...I wanted to be able to tell him what we were having. However, the nurse could not find the baby's heartbeat and so Dr.Tadvick did a sonogram to look at the heartbeat.....no worries....it is normal not to detect the heartbeat at this stage. Our baby has grown so much over the past few weeks. It is now 8in long. I saw the baby sucking its thumb and patting its head with its hand. It also turned and looked right at me. Amazing!! I did see the heartbeat and it was strong. Dr. Tadvick then went down to the feet but everything was so blury that he couldn't tell the sex. Darn!!! Looks like I will have to wait 5 more weeks to find out. Anyway I wanted to share this with all of you. We hope you all are doing GREAT!!!

Oh and the first picture is just a profile. The head is at the right. The bottom picture shows the baby's arm going to its mouth.

Hey everyone. Isn't this picture just too funny. Maddie always pretends she is on the phone. She says, "Hello." ---and she sounds just like a valley girl.

We got some good news yesterday. My brother, Jame, will be coming home for two weeks on May 20th. We are so excited...I swear it feels like he has been gone longer than 2 months. After this visit he for sure will not be able to come home until next February or March.

We just celebrated Nick's 27th birthday. He worked the whole day and then had to go take a final...some birthday huh?? We did manage to eat dinner together. Oh and Maddie and I worked all afternoon to learn the Happy Birthday song...and she did. She sang..."Happy Birtday you....Happy Birtday you...Birtday daddy...Birtday you." It was so cute and I think Nick even teared up a little.

Well I hope you all are doing well. Talk to you soon.
