Catching Up

After almost 1 1/2 years of marriage, and Jen finishing graduate school, we decided it was the right time to add another member to our family. We found out that we were pregnant in late February by taking a home pregnancy test. We were thrilled!!
It was even more exciting to have it confirmed by an ultrasound in late March. The ultrasound was amazing as we could see the beginnings of our new bundle of joy being formed. We could hear the heartbeat which was nice and strong - even at only 8 weeks!

Jen was just starting to have a little baby bump although many people may have wondered if she just ate too much chocolate cake ;)




8 weeks pregnant!


Our next ultrasound was in April at 13 weeks. At this ultrasound we were able to see more defined features of our baby such as it's profile and it's nose. The heartbeat was once again beating strong. Jen's belly was getting slightly larger as seen in the below picture.

We both were so excited for our next ultrasound and doctors appointment since we decided that we wanted to find out if we were having a boy or a girl. That awaited day finally came on June 11th. At the ultrasound, Baby Jones let us know that we were having a.....

BOY!


He was breeched but the technician told us not to worry as there would be plenty of time and room for him to change positions. He was moving around a lot but for some reason did not want his feet showing. The technician had a difficult time trying to get a picture of his feet but finally got one. He also kept putting his hands in front of his face :)
