No- that is not a fuzzy, black and white picture of a peanut. That is our baby's first picture.
Bart and I are excited to announce that we are expecting our first baby on August 14, 2008. We found out in early December that I was pregnant. We had been hoping for this little miracle for quite some time- so when we found out- we were both so very happy.

At the doctor's appointment that this picture was taken- the little baby was just wiggling around. It was really neat to see and hear the heart beat. So we're going to be parents- and we are so thankful.



We sent our family members these Valentine cards to make the announcement.

WOW!!
So I was sitting in the faculty lounge and somehow Linda and I started talking about blogs. Little do you know that yours is one that I look at periodically. Linda wanted everyone's addresses so I went to yours and saw the ultrasound picture and starting screaming! I am so excited for you. You will be such a good mom! I love the way that you told your family it is very creative!
Take care... Holly Deaver

Congratulations! I love your little announcements. They are so creative! We didn't do anything like that--we just let everyone know by phone. I'm thinking I'll be more creative next time, but that might still be a little way off yet.

I hope you guys are doing well. Jon and I send our love.
