A birthday and more about the baby...

Monday, February 4th, was Mom Beutel's birthday. Since Dad is in Europe on business, we decided to have a mini party for her at our house.


Singing 'Happy Birthday'

Unfortunately, we didn't have 47 candles, so we made do by 'spelling' it out.


She got them all in one breath! Happy birthday, Mom! :)

This sonogram picture of our baby is from the November 29th sono...I think it's the best picture we've gotten so far. The head is on the left, looking up at the top of the picture, and you can see a hand up by the mouth. I've been told that our baby is pretty cute! ;) I'm inclined to agree....

We did get some pictures from our sonogram on Tuesday, February 5th, but they are not quite as good. The baby was turned and facing us, so it's a front-on view of the head (tilt your head to the right). Use just a little imagination, and it almost looks like the baby is smiling....at least that's what the sonographer said. :) And, you can guess all you want, but there's no way to tell the gender in this picture (or the above one) unless you're psychic.
Anyway, we are pleased that everything looked normal in at this last sonogram, and baby is fine....although, when the sonographer was doing measurements on the head, she remarked, "Ok, who has the big head in the family?" Our response was, "Uhhhhh....?" Oh, well. It's still within the normal range, just measuring slightly large. And today marks the end of my 29th week of pregnancy....we're heading towards week 30!
