January 6th Update

Happy New Year to everyone! We have started our new year off with a real blessing. We got 100% confirmation that we are having a little boy! He is 11oz. and seems to be a little shy. He was cuddling up next to his big pillow (Kims placenta) and wouldnt look our way completely. He did show us his profile though. I think he will be a looker!! We got to see both his legs, both his feet, both his arms and hands, and all his fingers and toes. Also, we saw his kidneys, brain, spine, butt, bladder, and most importantly his heart!! The doc tells us he is a healthy baby and running right on schedule to meeting his arrival date of May 29th (FYI- the doc also said he was the only baby the whole day who was actually right on schedule.....bet hes competitive!). All of Kims bloodwork was excellent. There are no signs of any type of health risks or disorders. I have to say that the ultrasound was amazing. We actually got to watch him in 3d and its unbelievable. We have it on a DVD to show everyone who wants to see it! We could have sat there for hours and hours and watched that. He would rub his eyes occasionally as if to say "turn out the light!" When we go back next month, we get to have another ultrasound, so thats exciting.

We also had a very nice Christmas present this year. On the way to Pikeville for the holidays, Kim felt the little guy move! Then the next night I felt him moving while we were lying in bed. Since then, he has been all over the place. The kid may end up being an NFL punter with the kicks he has been placing on Kims belly. We can just watch her stomach and see him moving around in there. Speaking of belly, Kims bump is seriously showing now!!

Well, our next appointment is Feb. 3rd at 3:30 where we will get the ultrasound and just a check-up. We hope to have some new pictures up very soon of Kim and of the baby. Stay tuned for updates soon.........
