Bundle Of Joy

So the first post should be a good one right? I cannot think of a better way to start off than to say...

We are so happy to share the very first pictures of our new baby. These were taken on August 7th, at which time the doctor estimated Jen to be 7 weeks pregnant. The delivery date is estimated at March 22nd.

The baby is barely over 1 cm long, amazing! Hearing the heartbeat was a real tear jerker. The baby's heart was beating at 158 bpm, which we are told is right where it should be. You can see the EKG at the bottom of the last picture.

We are thrilled, and blessed and everything is going well. Jen is tired, but her spirits are high and we are so happy.

Our 15th grandchild during our 15th year of marriage--what a wonderful gift from God through you, Jen and Erik. We are truly blessed by our children and grandchildren.

The ultrasound pictures are great--getting to know her? or him? is one hiding?

Can almost see Brady's and Jared's happy faces! They'll be almost nine when the baby comes. Where did the time go?

Much love,

Kathy/Mom, Dan/Dad
