First Look at Baby B

And the news is out, we're joining a new club...the parenting club! We're looking forward to Fall when we get to meet our little one some time around October 21st. Though we are looking forward to it we are in no hurry; i've actually been very thankful that pregnancy is 9/10 months...I think that time is crucial to prepare yourself in so many ways (though I don't think it is something that you can ever fully prepare yourself for).

We are both so excited about this next step in our lives and are so thankful for the love and support of our amazing family and friends. This baby is joining the world during a major baby boom here in Santa Cruz and the surrounding area, so there will be no lack of friends for our little tyke, and there are plenty of people for me to talk pregnancy details with...we feel so blessed!

This ultrasound video was taken at 10 weeks, 6 days (i'm now 13 1/2 weeks). Seriously, it was one of the craziest things I have experienced. We have a mover and a shaker on our hands...i'm just wondering if that will continue into newborn phase...only time will tell.

Video disclaimer: please don't mind my annoying voice saying, "I danced for 9 years...." A sweet friend kindly reminded me that how dare I take all the credit for our dancing baby, when Brian used to be the one (pre-knee surgery days) who would bust out with the splits at weddings...and she couldn't be more correct.
