Christmas 2008

We had a very busy but wonderful Christmas this year. As great as it was to be surrounded by family and friends, I sure am glad it's over with! I hope everybody had a blessed Christmas and wish nothing but the best for the New Year!

Me, Spen & Sydney - I really miss these two!!!

I couldn't pass this picture up - Spen & Sydney got digital camera for Christmas.

Baby's 1st Christmas (sort of...): 22 week, 1 day baby bump

Pictures! Finally!!

So, I finally found a scanner that I could use. Here are some pictures from our last ultrasound and a pic of my bump!

Baby Doyle curled up into a ball. This is the position it stayed in during our first try at the anatomy scan.

Baby Doyle's little foot. We got a lot of good "feet" shots during our ultrasound.

Here are 2 profile shots of Baby Doyle.

Baby Bump - 20 weeks, 3 days

Boy or Girl - Round Two

Well, I know it's one or the other - but which??? I DON'T KNOW! Baby Doyle is either a stubborn little boy or a very modest little girl. Those have to be my options, right? We went back on Thursday for a better anatomy scan since Wednesday's didn't turn out so well. The good news is that Baby Doyle (and Mama) are very healthy and things are progressing very nicely. The bad news is that Baby Doyle likes to keep it's ankles crossed (JUST like it's Mama) and wouldn't uncross them for anything. We go back on Jan. 6th for our next appointment and we'll do a "gender determination" ultrasound (read: $$$ out of pocket, not covered by insurance). Once I can get my hands on a scanner, I'll upload pics from the ultrasound - we got some great shots of our little baby (fill in the blank)!!!

20 weeks, 1 day
(BTW, I'm half way there!!)

Boy or Girl? We STILL don't know!

Yes, it's true. Baby Doyle wouldn't cooperate today. We STILL don't know what we're having! We had our 20 week appointment today with our anatomy scan - and don't you know that Baby Doyle wouldn't move!!! It was curled up into a little ball and seemed to be very comfortable right where it was at. We tried everything - laying on my right side, laying on my left side, propped up, sitting up...nothing. Although we did get to see the heart beating and it's arms & legs moving, our ultrasound tech wasn't able to get any measurements at all. We try again tomorrow at 1 PM. Wish us luck!!!
