pictures!

Yesterday afternoon was the ultrasound appt., all went well. And as promised, here are most of the pictures! Yeah, like I said before, you don't get to see the gender picture... but we know! I was really amazed with the machine and how the technician knew exactly how to find, view, and measure all the extremities and how she pointed things out to us. We had gone through a site a couple weeks ago on reading the ultrasound to determine gender (we both did pretty good on the quiz) and I kind of wanted to put in my guess when the technician got to that part, but she told us what she was seeing. That's an odd situation, deciding whether you want to know or not. I want a healthy baby, first and foremost! But at least the naming can commence in earnest and we can purchase clothes in colors other than green and yellow (the non-gender specific tones in the old days...) Of course I saw a guy at Target the other day wearing a t-shirt that said "real men wear pink" and Val's favorite color is blue, so, you, my dear reader can actually determine about nothing from our color choices... :P

Without further ado(sp?), here's the pictures:

My favorite have always been the face with the big eye spots because you can just picture them looking at you. Also the "String of Pearls" of course this is the spine, but isn't that just wonderful. Enjoy this perfect moment. Also a little word of Aunt advice...the baby wipes warmer isn't that cool of a thing. I am so happy for you two!! Love always Dawn

You can already tell how loved this baby is. You can also tell by looking at the pics that this baby is a beauty.. boy or girl! It's special and has it's own personality already. Such a treat to be able to share a little of your experience with you. Thank you. Cathy

Speaking of names for your baby, your youngest cousin creatively suggested "BRA-VAL" or "VAL-DON." Now those are original names, aren't they?
Keep your sense of humor!
