11 Week Ultrasound pictures!

Arms and legs everywhere!

Just got back from today’s ultrasound and I’m totally amazed how much things have grown! Last visit (4 weeks ago) the baby was 7mm long and looked like a grain of rice. This time we saw it moving with arms, legs and a head. As the doctor positioned the device around we could see that the kid was really putting on a circus. At one point I could really make out a hand (being able to identify body parts is really eye-opening). I’ll post pictures tonight.

Baby Technology

Kerry and I have her next OBGYN appointment tomorrow and I really can’t wait. Last time was so much fun seeing the baby (even if it was the size of a grain of rice). Tomorrow Kerry will be 11 weeks and it should be about the size of a peanut (I find it interesting that all the books compare the size of babies to food items). People tell me that we may be able to hear the heart! Got to admit, technology is too cool, especially when it lets us connect to our unborn child.

The cat… or Baby is out of the bag!

That’s right, if you haven’t already heard Kerry and I are having our first baby. As of today she is 10.5 weeks along and doing great. We have already had one OBGYN appointment and will have another this Friday. I’m really excited because we may get to hear the heart! As of our last appointment, which was when she was 7 weeks the baby was 7mm long (looked like a grain of rice). Can’t wait to see him or her again this Friday! Currently her projected due date is May 27, 2006.

A night with Henry Rollins

Went to see Henry Rollins last night with Matt and Sean. Yes, this is the same Henry Rollins from Black Flag and the Rollins Band. He is currently doing his “Spoken Word” tour where he goes around and basically just talks about whatever he wants to talk about. If you have no idea who he is this may sound boring. But trust me, its hilarious. After an almost 3 hour show, my gut hurt from laughing so much. He takes his show around so if you are interested go to www.henryrollins.com.

Going to the Big House!

Kerry and I are really exited, we have just purchased Michigan football tickets. We’ve been meaning to go for several years but just haven’t had the time or money. For outsiders, U of M football is huge. Its always sold out and the tickets can get pretty expensive. Even though they may not be having their greatest year, it will be a good time in the Big House! We will be attending the Indiana game on Nov 12th.

The Needle

Just finished reading Ken Follet’s, “The Needle.” Wow, the best spy book I have ever read. This book takes place shortly before the Normandy Landing in WW2, where the allies are desperately trying to keep secret their initial strike location. A German spy who could ruin it all is frantically trying to get back to his motherland and an entire country races to stop him. I like this book because he writes spies not as techno-geeks with 101 gadgets, but as smart, deceiving agents who knows how to manipulate people to achieve their goals. If you like this genera, I highly suggest you pick this up. Its been out for a while so you may be able to buy it second hand.
