It's a BOY!!

We went to the perinatologist today for a consult, and weren't expecting to find out the sex of the baby, but we did. This is a butt view: butt on the right, a leg on the bottom, a (barely visible) leg on the top, and his unit in the middle. We're very excited!

The Birds

Now that I have some video editing software and a new blog, I've decided to add some more videos.

Yesterday I took this video of a Great Blue Heron in the field behind our house. The heron looked liked it was sneaking up on something walking very slowly.


The second video is of a Bald Eagle that has been hanging out in a tree back in the field. It took me forever to get it flying on video, but after waiting about 15-20 minutes I finally got it.

Jumping Baby James

We had another ultrasound yesterday. At 12 weeks Baby James is now 2.3 inches from head to bottom (with legs and arms, the size of a kiwi). The hands are completely formed and are now growing fingernails. Everything still looks fine. Amanda is now finished with the 1st trimester. Yeahhh!!!

Watch the video and you can see Baby James is very active.

For your viewing pleasure, here is the 10 week 6 day ultrasound of Baby James. All we know so far is that Baby James is 1.7" long and likes to move and jump around and the heartbeat is a normal 165 beats/minute.

Hey there!
