Womb with a View

Had another sonogram this week - they took a fairly spooky picture of the boy. I posted it here for you to see. I think he kinda' looks like a vampire in the photo, but Amy says he looks "cute" and that I should be nice. Well...all I can say is that if he takes after his dad, he'll be a pretty good lookin' fella. According to the doctor's measurements, he is about 6 lbs 2 oz (give or take about 6 lbs 2 oz), which should make him about 7.5 lbs at full term. Guess we'll find out before too long!

All our best,
Ryan & Amy

Sleeping Baby

4 More Weeks...

Only four more weeks of uninterrupted naps and movies. Only one month left to share quiet meals, go to late-night dinner parties, or sleep late on Saturdays. Tick...tick...tick... Hopefully my hair won't turn grey as fast as my father's!

Went to the baby doctor again today for the first of our weekly check-ups, and all is well. No problems to report, other than Amy's inability to sleep for more than an hour or two without a restroom pit-stop! Thanks to everyone for the gifts and kind words, and we'll keep everyone informed of any developments.

Congrats to Monte and Christine (http://grossobaby.blogspot.com/). Looks like junior will have a cousin about the same age, and at least three cousins within a couple of years (Jake, Meg, and little John).

We should get another sonogram next week (just to make sure the baby is growing as he should be). I'll post the pics when we get them, and I promise not to make any more scary "alien baby" photos out of them!

Will post again soon,
Ryan & Amy

Preggo @ 36 weeks!

Latest news...

It's been another fairly quiet week here in Corpus. A few days ago we enjoyed some "Texas snow" - hail the size of quarters! The freak storm lasted about 30 minutes, but our cars made it through without damage, so we're thankful. Tomorrow I expect to be the proud owner of two houses - one in Corpus, and the other in South Bend - Trump had better watch his six! Oh, yeah, I admit the sonogram pic I posted is a bit creepy...hope he looks better when he's finished baking! Hope all is well, and here's the latest update to Amy's belly.

Baby Doc

Well, we went in for our sonogram yesterday, and I'm happy to say that all is well. We were afraid the baby might be measuring a bit large, but everything is tracking as expected. I have posted two pics of the sonogram - the first is exactly as they gave it to us. The second is a crop/flip of the first image, giving a weird "whole face" picture of the baby. Hope all is well and we'll write again soon.

Starting a new page...

Family and friends,

Not to be outdone by my uber-geek brother, Amy and I have created this blog (that's geek for "web log") to keep everyone up-to-date with our latest family fun. For those who might not know, Amy and I are expecting. Our son, Ryan Patrick, is due on June 30th. About a month later, we plan on moving to South Bend, Indiana, where I'll start law school at Notre Dame (GO IRISH!). I've posted a few pics for now, and I'll try to keep this up to date (which should be easy, since I'm now blessedly unemployed). We have a sonogram coming up next Monday, and I'll post it when I get home. Hope all is well and I'll write again soon.

God Bless,
Ryan & Amy
