Upcoming Graduation...

The lil' [boy] bugger is about to graduate to trimester numero dos! WOOT WOOT! Questions?

Accomplishment? First Trimester!
Size? Medium Shrimpy-ish
Phrase of the week? "I don't have anything to wear!" (Jordan is so tired of hearing this I'm sure) [I am]
Next Appointment? Tuesday afternoon, hearing the heartbeat :-)
Pictures? More to come. The belly is starting to take shape but nothing much to see yet... The head still makes up 1/3 of the total size. (we know it's related to Jordan)
Looking forward to? Finding out if our lil' bugger is a boy or girl next month! (Jordan wants a boy, I want a girl) [And a boy it shall be]

Other news...Jordan is staying busy with work, school, hanging out with the youth group, and bible studies while Jamie fills her time with schoolwork, feeling sick, and sleeping.  School starts for me, Jamie, really soon so I've been setting up the classroom and preparing for my students. I'm also finishing up my fifth Masters' course and starting up National Boards next month.  Church has been wonderful, I'm singing on our worship team, and we are joining a new bible study there. We'll keep you in the loop as we learn more!

[Other phrase of the week- "Jordan, you're totally winning this marriage." If I'm the final editor of the blog that must mean I get the last word too, right?]

Commentary by (Jamie) and [Jordan]

It's finally official!! Sorta...

Here we are again after a lovely trip to the doctor. This time we went downtown to the doctors' main office with the fancy ultrasound machine. Below are the images taken today, complete with some labeling of parts and other cute comments by the tech performing the ultrasound.

                               

We'll work on breaking these down and getting better, bigger pics up in the coming days; however, for now these will have to do!

Our tech was able to confirm a due date of February 13th, 2013! Yes, that's one more week Jamie will have to work after her maternity leave ends, but it's one week closer to being out of the first trimester as well!

Next ultrasound will be scheduled for 6-8 weeks from now and at that point we'll be able to find out the gender of the baby, so patience, everyone... Patience. Not a word that finds its way into my vocabulary very often, but from what people have told me it's a virtue I'm going to need.... In spades.

That's it for now, friends and family... We'll be sure to post more as it comes to us.

PS- Yes, we know our baby looks like an alien... I contend that's the Johnston side of the family coming out.
