Introducing....

We have our first picture! The whole sonogram experience was very exciting! Our little peanut is about 2.65cm long right now. We got to watch it move around quite a bit inside of Laura's belly. It was being really active for a little while there! We got to hear it's heartbeat, which at 189 beats per minute, sounded like an angry neighbor pounding on a door. The due date is set between April 22-25, 2009... just after tax season!

Here is Kinzie, posing for her very first picture with her new baby brother/sister.
She and Nanny even got to come into the examination room with us to see the baby move on the screen and hear it's heartbeat. It was a great day all around, rounded out by Kinzie getting her blood taken for the state-required lead paint test and she didn't even cry! She was very brave!

We would especially like to thank Nanny for sitting with Mackinzie in the waiting room while Laura and I were in examination room. We hope that getting to be the first to see the baby and getting to hear it's heartbeat made the trip worth-while. Thanks Nanny!
