The Begining of Greatness

During our last visit with our midwife, something we do once a month, Liz got an interesting proposal. It seems that The People's Clinic, where we get our maternity care, just bought a new building and is promoting it's prenatal care there with a new brochure. Liz was asked to model for it.

Now as many of you know Liz is not exactly the most performance oriented person, i.e. she doesn't like to be the center attention. But she reluctantly agreed. And I'm glad she did. We got to meet up with a professional photographer and have her take a series of shots of Liz and her belly and even a couple of me with them both.

They came out pretty good and at least one of them will be published. We'll have to post a shot of that too when we get a copy. Our little boy is already getting famous.

It's a Boy!... Obviously

Well last week we made our way over to the Boulder Community Hospital and had an ultrasound done. They've got a pretty fancy machine there that can see all the organs, bones, and basic body structures. Things are looking good. Everything seemed to be about the size and shape that it should be at this point. We did identify one rather significant organ, and yes we are having a boy, hence the title of this blog.

Here he is!


It was an exciting day, one that I won't forget for some time. Seeing the little child wiggling around made everything that much more real and I could feel my attachment for him growing.
We are both doing well, enjoying hearing from you all.
I'll end with a couple belly shots we took this morning:
