16wk sonogram

Here is some amateur sonography of our baby at 16 weeks.  It's from a blackberry phone so it's kinda small.  Look closely and you can see hands moving around and the baby's body moving.  We have the official check up in a couple weeks.

Avocado Week

BJR or CRR is as big as an avocado this week. He or she should be able to pick up sounds by now. The first sound was very likely the fire alarm going off in the mall yesterday :) Sorry baby!

On a side note

As some of you may know, we have been looking to buy a house.  We tried last spring before the tax credit expired.  That didn't work out well.  We managed to find a home that fit the worst case scenario apparently.  This time we tried to avoid that.  We found a house nearby and put an offer it that looks like it's moving forward.  We don't have a house yet, but we hopefully will have one soon....keep you fingers crossed.

Navel Orange week

As you can tell from the title of the post, mini-Brad/Jenny is about the size of an orange.  Nothing really new going on in the baby front.  Jenny has been feeling better overall.  The frequency of the morning sickness has lessened quite a bit.  Also, food likes and dislikes have started to change some too.

On the non-baby front, we are still waiting on the house, to see if the bank approves the short sale or not.  It is being processed right now so hopefully we find out one way or the other very soon.

February update

Jenny had a visit to the midwife today.  Things are going fine.  The baby has a heartbeat of ~145 beats/min and  is about the size of a lemon right now.  Next month's visit will be about 17-18 weeks so a sonogram should show whether it's a boy or a girl.  That should tell us if we'll have a kid with the initials C.R.R. or B.J.R. (unless we decide differently)
