Update; Still a boy!

We had another ultrasound at 23 weeks and 5 days this past Friday. The purpose of the ultrasound was to check your spine, heart, and bones, as you were too young to get an accurate report at 16 weeks. Boy, you are a squiggly little thing! You moved around so much during the ultrasound, but I can tell you that it makes mom and dad happy to see you move around. You were kicking the ultrasound tech every time she put that probe over your =) I was only able to see your ball sack, your dad saw the rest of the goods, so you know he is a pretty happy camper!

I think Auntie Erica is planning to throw your baby shower party the end of April. My back is starting to hurt a little, and I am getting fat toes and fingers in the morning. I am still at school, and plan on ending this quarter this Saturday.

News in the world and family: Your grandpa Ric is still in the Navy, and stationed in Bahrain at this time. The last few weeks in Bahrain have been hit with protests against the government. He works 5 minutes from the center of the protest. At this time, he claims he is hiding in his bunker, hoping to not get any worse! Your grandparents in New York are battling their own fight with the snow (4 feet snow banks right now!). Grandma Sue had a little scare with colon cancer a few weeks ago, but she has been told it is nothing to worry about. Grandma Elizabeth is just experiencing pain in her ear, and carpel tunnel. Grandpa Edwin is having knee pain from his Airborne jumping back in his Infantry Army days.

The world in the Middle East has been fighting against their leaders the last few weeks (Tunisia, Libya, Iraq, Bahrain...), and it doesn't look like it's going to end any time soon. Somali pirates have been capturing Americans, and just lately Greeks in the middle of the sea.

I have an appointment to check your growth and hear your heart beat today =)

Till next time, we love you and can't wait to meet you.
