Movements!

I can finally (for sure) feel Owen moving!! 

Thanks for the strong kicks & punches baby Owen, I LOVE THEM!  Keep them coming!  You can slow the movements down later though, when you get closer to my ribs :)  Thanks!  Mom

Music

Today Owen heard his first song.  At least I hope he did :).  I am 19 weeks today, and my weekly email said he can hear now.  Naturally, I'm putting that information to use. 

I played Sarah Mclachlan's Ordinary Miracle song for my belly.  It's one of my favorites, and one that I hope Owen can hear now, so it will be a comfort to him after he is born.  I plan on playing this song, and Jack Johnson's Upside Down song (my all time favorite song!!) for the next few months.  It will be awesome if he is born recognizing these songs. 

Also, Sam said he would read to Owen.  I will tell him that he has to start now since Owen can hear.  He needs to know his daddy's voice :).

It's a boy!

On February 14th, 2011 at about 10:40am we found out the little baby in my tummy is a boy!  Hi Owen, we love you!!
Dr. Beck said a few times how perfect Owen's spine is.  It must be great, because he gave us a picture too.  It was nice to hear him say all the things that were growing just the way they should.  He has a strong heartbeat, brain looks good, spine is perfect, and has all the right limbs.  All wonderful things for a mother to hear :).
I turned this picture upside down because I like it better that way.  Another cute little profile picture.
I can't wait until Owen is born, so I can take all the pictures I want of him.  Until then, these ultrasounds will be the only thing on his blog.  I'm pretty sure we'll be getting a 3D ultrasound later, so that will be cool. 

See you in about 5 months baby Owen.

First Picture

First ultrasound on December 28, 2010 roughly 2:30pm


It was love at first sight.  I mean, who can resist that perfect little profile?
