Situation Normal

Hi all! Just wanted to give you a quick update after the doctor’s appointment, and throw some pictures your way as well.

The appointment went well, things still looking pretty normal. We got the results back from a test as well; let me explain it in very simple terms — it looks for red flags. It found no red flags. So we’re in about the same shape as any other set of parents at this point. Heartbeat was down in the 135 range — Dr. Jill told us that slower is supposed to mean a boy; which is the opposite of what somebody else told us. Whatever! Ultrasound next week, on Wednesday, I’ll give another update at that point, and post some pics if possible.

On to Ian news, and the weather.
Ian enjoys his new “big boy” sized mattress. He’s still only about 6 inches off the ground, however, just a mattress right on the carpet. Picture taken on the 31st of July. See this image larger.

The fourth of August and Mommy gives Ian another bath. It would be funny to see all of his bathtub pics in one spot, now that I think about it. See this image larger.

Tickles a little, doesn’t it? See this image larger.

He’s such a character! See this image larger.

We asked you not to drink the bathwater, son. See this image larger.

If only he’d open his mouth that wide when Mommy’s trying to brush his teeth, sigh. See this image larger.
