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

Cool!!
A new baby!
And a new post to the blog!
You, Julie, and little John Francis there are single-handedly keeping this blog alive. NICE!!!
I do what I can. I was also going to blog that I just bought a new 1/2" plug-cutter from Ace Hardware too, just to blog...
Who is Phoenix Roach???
Thanks for sharing the first picture of your baby!!!! That is soooo cool. Everyone should get to see a baby ultrasound several times in their life!
We are so excited for you...and for us! Hopefully the Thornhill girls will be your Ace babysitters since they are a hop, skip, and a jump away!
I, JFR, are PhoenixRoach. I comment on other Blogger blogs as well and "JohnnyBoo" just wasn't in keeping with the online persona I try to cultivate elsewhere in cyberspace.
Phoenix is where I was born you know. And your daughter helped tad one on my thigh. You shoulda been able to figure THAT one out!!!
Also, when I read "baby back" on that picture it made me really hungry.
So funny PHOENIX! I'm laughing out loud so hard right now. How could a baby ultrasound picture make you think of ribs! So crazy. Thanks for sharing Josephina. Can't wait to see you all in a few weeks!
The "Baby Back" labeling scheme also made me quite hungry. Aren't the words "baby back" only used in direct connotation to baby back, baby back....Ribs!
Just calling it how I see it.
