Happy Baby, Baby! Part 2

Arianne had her first baby doctor appointment today...and we’re having a baby! Ok, we already knew that, but it was good to hear the Dr. say so.

She had an ultrasound, and we could totally see baby Bamboo. We could see his face and arm and legs and umbilical cord. (I’m going to call the baby “he” just because I don’t like saying “it,” but it was too early to determine the sex.) And then while we were watching him, he moved around. I think he’s like his mommy and doesn’t like to be disturbed while he’s sleeping! :-)

Right now Bamboo is about 3.5 cm long, which means he's been growing 10 weeks and 4 days.

Amazing!!! I was just so amazed to see a living, moving baby inside Arianne. It was an exciting, humbling, awesome moment.

Happy Baby, Baby!

On July 4, we found out that we're going to be parents!  We decided to rename that day Dependents Day.  :-)

Because of this picture and because we don't yet know the gender, we like to call him/her "Bamboo."  Of course we're still negotiating what Bamboo's real name will be.

Join us in praying for a healthy Bamboo & Arianne, an easy pregnancy, and lots of joy along the way.

Happy Anniversary, Baby!

It's hard to believe, but we've been married a year already.  We celebrated by going back to where it all began . . . under the cherry blossoms . . . next to the umi . . . in Japan!
