Another Ultrasound update

I had another ultrasound yesterday. I love getting to see Andrew's progress from month to month! He's looking really good...baking evenly! He's doubled in size since last month, weighing in at 1 lb, 15 oz! He's right on track. His heart continues to look great, no signs of narrowing of the aorta, no VSDs, all 4 chambers. It's always a relief to hear (and see) that things are going well. While I was watching yesterday, I remembered what the ultrasound images looked like for Benny's heart when they used the color (to show directional flow of the blood) and it looked so different from Andrew's. To see Andrew's ultrasound have distinct colors in certain areas was a little strange, because for so long all we saw was a mixture of red and blue all over the place with Benny's! We're so thankful that baby Andrew is looking healthy. Just another 14 weeks and we'll finally get to see his little face! I'm going to scan in some of the ultrasound images later so I'll be sure to upload them into the blog (and on facebook too)!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! It was a long, eventful day for us but we all had a great day. We began the day by remembering why we celebrate Easter in the first place! He is risen! The girls' sunday school classes weren't happening today so they got to share Easter service with us. Abigail did quite well (you can tell she's growing up) and Emily did pretty good too, just a little antsy! Surprisingly though, she didn't talk too much at all. After church we headed straight home so Darin could start the BBQ! This would mark the start of the 7-hour adventure to Easter dinner! Darin put a brisket on the BBQ, and though it did take quite a while to cook, it was worth it! Yummy! We filled our day with an Easter Egg hunt and egg coloring...and managed to work in a nap too! Woohoo! We also thought it would be a great day to release Emily's butterflies from her garden! Here are a few pictures from the day's events. We hope you all had a blessed Easter!
