Profile shot

Here is the first profile shot of the pregnancy. I am 27 weeks along. Please excuse the exhausting look on my face, this picture was taken after a crazy 12 hr shift.

Baby Harry's first Razorback game

Baby Harry went to his first Arkansas Razorback football game September 6th against Louisiana- Monroe. It was a close one, but we were able to pull out a win. Here are a few photos from the game at 22 weeks pregnant.

21 Week Ultrasound

The votes are in and half are right. September 3rd we had a double treat. We had our 21 week ultrasound to find out what we were having and it was mom's birthday. He is absolutely georgeous. We are so happy. Everything that was supposed to be closed was closed and everything that was supposed to be open was open. We were so glad to share this wonderful experience with my family and so sorry Mama D and Betty couldn't make it due to Gustav's aftermath. Thanks to everyone that voted.

Sassy, Ashley, baby Harry and Pappa anioxiously awaiting the ultrasound.

Here is his sweet profile. His hands are the two big dots up top. We haven't decided if he is going to grow up to be a boxer or if he is in party mood ready to raise the roof.

It's a boy

Here is the "money shot." Just in case, you can't see it, the arrow is pointing to it. Check out those healthy looking thighs on each side.

Thanks for everyone praying for the health of me and the baby. I feel great and the baby is doing wonderful, keep them coming.

World traveler take two

Baby Harry isn't here yet and is already a continental playboy. We had such a wonderful time in China! The Olympics, Great Wall of China and Terra Cotta warriors where my favorite highlights just to name a few.

Ashley, baby Harry and local mother and daughter inside the Forbidden City. It was so cute that the Chinese people wanted to take pictures with people from different countries. Baby Harry and I felt like celebrities.

A portion of The Great Wall of China. I included this picture to show everyone how long and steep the wall can be and yes to brag a little bit on myself. We climmed up 18 out of 23 guard towers while I was 18 weeks pregnant and we would have climmed more except they were blocking off that portion for President Bush's arrival.

Michael and the man who made him two custom suits, four custom shirts and one custom overcoat in a matter of two days. They look great on him! I love this picture because it also shows the Chinese faviorite hand signal- the peace sign.

14 Week Ultrasound

14 weeks and 4 days

Wow, can you believe it. The first trimester is over and we are ready for round two. Baby Harry is getting so big! For those of you who are not a professional at reading ultrasounds, the baby's head is on the left and is facing down.

Michael and I had our first OB appointment this week and it was surreal. It was pretty much a usual GYN exam with added labwork and urine samples. The best part of our visit was taking another peak at our little baby. I was extremely excited to have a transabdominal ultrasound. Hopefully the days of invasive va jay jay ultrasounds are over!!!!! Everything looks good so far and we couldn't be happier. Our next visit is in 3 weeks, the day before we leave for China. I will be 17 weeks and 2 days and we are hoping to find out if we are having a boy or a girl. The anticipation is killing us. So, in the meantime, we thought it would be fun to have a survey for everyone to post there guesses.
