Meet Emrick!

As many of you know, I had another ultrasound this week. It was a precautionary thing done because last week at my regular doctor, they saw a couple of things that she "didn't want to over look." Today, I went to a wonderful fetal medicine doctor to have a second look...I just enjoyed being able to see Emrick (the baby - more on the name below) again so soon. This ultrasound went pretty well (other than him being comfortable, and not wanting them to look or mess with him). His little hands and arms were moving a good bit this morning. He even made it into his mouth while we were watching today. Oh, he will be so ROTTEN!!! The doctor also seemed confident that everything looked "normal." We will do one more ultrasound during the third trimester to make sure that he is staying up with the fetal development rate.
His little fingers must already be a favorite:

His little foot:

Him thinking he wishes the ultrasound tech would quit trying to get him to turn over by shaking mommy's belly:


About his name: We have decided to name him Emrick Scott Edmonds. Emrick is my mom's last name, and we are naming him after her late husband. He was an incredible man, and we didn't get to spend nearly enough time with him. I don't think there was anyone that did not like him, and we can only hope that we makes friends and impressions as well as Randy did. Scott is the name of a good friend of ours...so good that he performed our wedding ceremony for us. We are privileged to have such great men, to name our son after. (**Just a note there are other great men in our lives too, like our fathers, that we hope Emrick follows the example of).

I finally feel like I am showing some. All of the sudden Saturday, it was like my belly just decided to wake up and start poking out. Although, I am not crazy about posting pictures of my belly, they have been requested...argggg! So, Libby, for your viewing pleasure (I hope you feel better)!

Finally!

Sorry it has taken me so long to get my little monkey's pictures scanned and posted! Now for your viewing pleasure (well the two people that read our blog, for you)...


And, one day he'll hate this, but its too early for him to really care:

Trouble!!

Okay, so I know that at the end of this post, I will be in so much TROUBLE!!!!! Jonathan and I went to the doctor yesterday. Since the last appointment, I have gained 4 pounds, which isn't terrible, but four pounds in three weeks can't happen every three weeks!!! We also had our ultrasound, and here's where I get in trouble, but I left the pictures at school today, so it will be at least tomorrow until those are uploaded. Sorry! They are coming soon though. Anyway, just a quick update for now, but pictures later.
