The "big" ultrasound

We went on Friday for the "big" ultrasound; so named because it takes them nearly an hour to do the whole thing. Thomas got to see much more than I did because of the position of the screen, but it was very sweet to watch him smile at the screen. Apparently, our baby was quite a wiggle-worm, and gave the ultrasound tech a run for her money. Since the baby moved so much, the pictures below aren't the best ever, but they're still fun. During the profile shots, the baby was swallowing, so we saw it opening and closing its mouth, and we saw the tongue and pharynx moving - it was very cool to watch, but it doesn't translate well into a photograph. Of all the pictures below, I think that the foot is my favorite. Right before she captured the image, both feet were in the shot, and they're just adorable. Only ~20 more weeks and we'll get to meet shortie!

Sorry it's been so long

We're really going to try to be better about posting more often. October was a crazy month, both personally and professionally, and I'm glad it's November. On Friday we have another ultrasound, so there will be more baby pictures to share soon.

It's Halloween Time!

Happy Halloween! My belly is getting bigger. So is Thomas's. PS I do have more than one maternity outfit. I'll have to take more pictures!!

Drunkin' Punkin'

Here are a couple of pictures of our cute "baby pumpkin," which we carved at the annual Drunkin' Punkin' party that began when Thomas was in college. Somehow, the tradition has continued all these years, and to date no person has been injured. We can't say the same for the pumpkins. The Robertson 2007 pumpkin was inspired by my ever-growing belly and the cute (I'm sure!) baby inside.

We took this picture awhile ago, but are just now getting around to posting it. This is not too long after I made the switch to maternity clothes.
