Now introducing...

We got to have our ultrasound today. I was a little worried when the tech started because Aislinn and the tech said, "Oh there it is" while Tara and I couldn't make anything out. Luckily the baby was moving a lot and we were able to see it once she zoomed in. We got 11 minutes worth of video on a DVD!



He/she was very active and it was fun to see the baby moving. You could make out hands, the spine, leg bones, the stomach, and the heart beating. The heart sounded pretty cool (at 158 bpm for those of you who care). The craziest part was the size of the baby. Even with all the detail we saw, the baby is only 6.5cm! These sentences are longer than our baby right now!



I'm sorry we don't have clearer pictures but they're screen shots from the DVD of the ultrasound. Tara is 12 weeks and 3 days along and expected to have the baby on May 25, 2008. We're excited! Love, Marcus (and Tara...I had to hijack her account because I forgot my password)

Finally, a new post!

We finally rescued our camera cord from Mom and Dad's house, and now I can post pictures again! Here are some recent, and not so recent pictures:


One day I made the mistake of craking the window to our computer room while I was in there...since we were in the basement, the window was ground level, and the next thing I know, Scout has pushed the window all the way open and was trying to get in through it! I pushed her most of the way back out before pausing to take some pictures.






Next: Here's the picture of us with President and Sister Samuelson before graduation. I love President Samuelson, so it was super exciting that we got to meet him! Marcus tried to stand by him for the picture, but I made him move so I could...;)



And finally, here are some pictures of Declan after Gary and I were teaching him how to rock out...I gave them both fauxhawks, which Declan thought was pretty cool...
