Baby!!

So, hopefully the word is out now that we are expecting a baby. Scary isn't it? I guess they let anyone have kids these days!

Every proud parent just has to show off pictures of their kid...and I guess you can't start too early :)

On Top: Our little gender-less baby at 12 weeks, well, gender unbeknownst to us at least. With confirmation that indeed we were pregnant, we got to finally meet the little man.

Bottom: Same day, baby just chilling in my belly. Doesn't he look comfortable? Adorable, just laying on his side, taking in the view.



16weeks: It's a boy!! He's so photogenic...I think he has Tim's nose.



22 weeks: Our most recent picture. We found out he had chorionic plexus cysts in his brain, so we had another ultrasound to get them checked out. Yikes! So what does that mean? Small cysts, or collections of fluid in the ventricles in his brain...I'll cut to the chase...they can be indicative of Down's syndrome or Trisomy 18 when found with other abnormalities like enlarged/irregular heart...etc. They have not seen any other abnormalities so 1:10,000 chance that anything is wrong. Phew!

It's a 4 inch screen, and we can tell he's growing cause they can only fit about half of him on the screen now, where we kinda had to search for him before.

Stats: He is now 10 adorable inches long and weighs 1 pound.

No decisions on names yet. He mostly goes by Dudley right now, given to him by Tim's brother Bill because he was the size of a milk dud and I was always eating a box.

Suggestions? I'm hoping Dudley won't stick :)
