All,
We have confirmation... it's a baby! Last week we got to see the little baby moving all around in Julie's tummy, it was really cool! We didn't have an ultrasound scheduled, but when we went in for our 11 week checkup the doctor said "every parent should be able to see their child" so he whipped around the machine to give it a look.
He commented on Julie's "pooch" and thought she looked more than 11 weeks. Luckily he did it with such tact that Julie blushed and laughed, and I didn't have to show off my brute strength and defend my wife. Once he took a look at the baby he knew it was bigger than 11 weeks, and it turns out that we were 13 weeks (now 14) along, so he changed the due date to May 30th! That means the 1st trimester is already over! He actually looked around for about 5 minutes to see if there were twins! He couldn't find another one on the last go around, but I think he'll have to take another look before I rule it out :)
Anyhow, I'm posting a picture of the ultrasound here:
Can't wait for the new life that has begun to join us in this wonderful and mysterious life!
Love,
Joe and Julie Roach
