It's a Boy!

Here are pictures taken on April 10, 2009 - when we found out we are having a baby boy! The anatomy pictures are taken looking from the bottom up - his feet make a backwards "C" and in the middle, you can tell its a boy :)

Finding out the baby's gender - April 10, 2009

April 10, 2009 - Rich and I found out the sex of our first baby! Rich took me out to a surprise dinner at DC Coast - DC Coast is one of our favorite date spots from the "dating years." He had flowers delivered and waiting for me on the table with a nice card. We had the sonographer put the appropriate sex baby in the paper baby stoller (see picture - the girl would have been carrying ballet slippers instead of a football) and seal the envelope along with the sonogram pictures. After we ordered dinner and appetizers we opened the envelope! These pictures are from right before we opened the envelope to right after, and one includes a picture of what we opened.

Sonogram Pictures - 17 weeks

Here are the two pictures we got from our unscheduled sonogram - you can see baby whitney's little hand - all five fingers! He/She is saying HI!!

17 Weeks

March 13, 2009 - we are 17 weeks pregnant! On March 12, we had a small scare, I had a lot of bad pains, which lasted all day. We had an unscheduled sonogram on Friday (3/13) to be sure baby whitney was alright. It was great to see our little on moving around and kicking - so much that the sonographer had a hard time catching up with the baby. The baby measured 6 inches! A little ahead of the curve for 17 weeks - taking after his/her parents :) Here are a few pictures of m-2-b's baby bump

Baby Whit - 13 weeks, 5 days - The Heartbeat!

We had a regular check-up today at 13 weeks, 5 days - everything looks good so far! I brought my camera to capture the heartbeat - it sounds slightly different in-person, but this gives you an idea of how wonderful it is to hear the baby's heartbeat! Sincerely, the best sound I've ever heard!
Mom is happy to be entering the second trimester! Six months to go :)
