4 months - belly

<- i feel like all the walking and good food in vancouver made my belly grow overnight.












here's a fetus in the womb at 4 months...i find it a tad frightening. ->

week sixteen - vancouver, b.c.

we just spent a glorious weekend in canada with aaron and ange. here are a few snap shots...

The world is mud-luscious and puddle-wonderful. -ee cummings

we went for a hike in the snow this afternoon...it was just beautiful...another great reason to live in the northwest.




here's david at fifteen weeks

to the grandparents in europe...

glad you got there and are having a good time. wish we were there, too. please don't forget to bring little noodle some gurkensalat seasoning and maybe some swiss chocolate with hazel nuts and raisins? hmmm? oh, and please give many hugs and kisses to the Sawatskys for us. thanks.

p.s. the grandparents j. say hello and congratulations on the simultaneous grandparenthood-ness.

heartbeat

We heard the tiny heartbeat yesterday and it sounded like...well, a tiny heartbeat - a strong, fast galloping sound. I think the doctor said it was 150, which I assume means 150 beats per minute? Our sonogram to find out if it's a boy or a girl is scheduled for April 13th.



in dave's hand

sound of heartbeat

fourteen week fetus

(not our fetus pictured, our baby has much more stoic look almost like a young paul newman)

tyler..

you win for best name suggestion so far.

fourteen weeks and feeling a little better

Spring is in the air and I'm starting to come to life again...so glad the first trimester is behind us. The time has come to change my diet from Sweet Tarts and Lay's potato chips to some real food!
