Baby Bardin's Heartbeat

here's baby bardin's strong and healthy heartbeat:

Second Ultrasound - Aug 22, 2008

So... there is an ultrasonographer that works at our clinic and does these ultrasounds for free. As you can imagine, it's a nice benefit considering ultrasounds cost a couple hundred dollars and insurance only covers ONE. These pictures were taken on August 22, 2008 which makes me about 18 and 1/2 weeks pregnant. The belly is definitely starting to stick out now and NOTHING fits. I'm actually having to wear maternity clothes now..haha!

Belly sticking out a little

I know it's hard to tell but this is the belly (lt), butt and legs (rt).

First Ultrasound - July 18, 2008

This isn't the VERY first ultrasound but it's the first one that you could actually see something!!! We captured a few images from the video and thought it would be fun for you all to see them. This was taken on July 18th, which puts me at almost 14 weeks pregnant. At this point my stomach still looks pretty normal...just a little chubbier! :)

Still looking pretty normal...just a little more of a pooch.

Come Join Us

Well...we decided to start a blog for anyone out there that would like to keep up with what is going on in our lives. Most recently, for those of you who may not know, we are expecting a baby in late January. We wanted to find a way to share the journey with friends and family that aren't here with us...and this is it! We will try to keep you updated with postings and pictures as the baby grows and inevitable my stomach gets larger! :) We would love to hear from you as well. We miss you all and wish you could be here to join us in this exciting time, but this will have to do for now. God Bless,

Faryn and Jess
