Ultrasound uploads

Here they folks! A few snap shots from this morning:

So the top one is, I guess ,how they can tell if it's a boy or girl...I think the nurse saw a look in on my face and assured me that it's much larger in person. Second shot is of the kids foot...that one is pretty easy.


These guys are pretty easy to figure out also, top one is a profile of mini Meli basically laying on his back. The little white dot is either his hand or a lima bean Suz eat last night. The second one is him looking right at you, also laying on the side.


This one I call the angry face, it's kinda spooky looking if you ask me...I might blow it up and use it as his first halloween mask, who knows.

58% of you were right...it's a BOY!

Just a quick update, the 20 week ultrasound showed a lot of good stuff! Got measurements on all the long bones (Femur, Humerus), the other extremities and the head. We heard the fetal heart beat, coming in at 148 beats per minute (normal range is 120-160). Funny thing is we were reading a book about it last week and read you might be able to hear it with a stethoscope. Suz and I hopped in bed and started poking around (keep the mind out of the gutter!) and actually found it, so we heard it last week :)

All measurements are right on target and the kid is dating at 20 weeks, so everything looks to be right on schedule! We'll post up the pics of the ultrasound tonight! Got to say this was by far the best of the Doc visits!

PS- did I mention it's a boy!?!?!?

Week 20!

First off apologies for the Week 19's non posting of the belly, we needed a small break, bUT this week is the magical week! Suz is half way through the pregnancy, on Tuesday we find out the sex of the baby, oh yeah and it feels like this kid is a heartbeat away from being here...which is both really really exciting and starting to build on the anxiety of yours truly, soon to be Daddy Leo. So first off let's show off that wonderful belly of Suzi-Q:


Looking pretty darn good if you ask me!

So our off Friday Suz and I decided to take a break from fixing up the house and running errands and all the usual stuff we do on our off Friday to get outside and go for a small hike (there has been an early break into spring weather and so we want to enjoy it!). So we went to Bear Creek park to hit up the little hiking trail. In doing so we ran across a fitness trail and decided to give it a little go, check out the link for a few pics of our mini excursion:
Fitness Loop

Then Saturday rolled around and we decided it's about time to shed some light into our ever dark living room. Our initial plan was to put up a skylight, ahhhh dreamers, that is what Suz and I are! In the end we went with some recessed lighting and it turned out pretty good if I say so myself! Another link if feel so inclined:
Recessed Lights

Well all, we will post on Tuesday with the sex of the baby, maybe the ultra sound if Mini Meli is past his/her scary looking phase!
