12 Weeks, 4 Days

Jason joined in the fun for our latest ultrasound. Mini-Misner is about 7 cm, or about 3 inches long. It's amazing how much you can see in the photos! The baby has already developed most of its parts at this early stage; now it's time to get growing!

The ultrasound technician also asked us if we wanted to see a "3D" version of Mini-Misner. Of course we enthusiastically said, "Yes," but when we saw the baby, it looked like a lumpy gummy bear! Apparently this is normal, but we think we'll wait on doing that again!

We don't know what the gender is yet, but we're planning to find out. Our scheduled anatomy check isn't until 20 weeks, but we hope to get a sneak peek at 16 weeks. Unti then, another one of those exercises in patience!

Still Our Little Secret!

We paid a visit to Great-Aunt Bobbie and almost spilled the beans...

...although when we went winetasting afterwards, the winemaker figured it out. Here's a photo of the bottom of wine he gave Elizabeth (NB: this photo was actually taken in December 2008!)

 












But we kept our secret to ourselves celebrating our (dating) anniversary with our annual trip to Vino. Here's a picture with the owner, "Professor" Castro Ascarrunz, holding our postcard of the original location on Union Street in San Francisco.

It's Official - Baby's Got Beat!

Elizabeth went for baby's first appointment today. It's official - Mini-Misner showed up on the ultrasound, complete with a heartbeat! The heartbeat looked like a little twinkle...our little star is forming!

We're Pregnant!

Here's the + sign - we're on our way! Our first exercise in patience has begun: waiting to tell friends and family the big news!
