Ultrasound Pics!

Today we had our first ultrasound and it was awesome. The baby is 1 inch long and has a heart rate of 180 bpm. During the 9th week the fetal heart rate should fall between 155 and 195 bpm, so our baby is right where he/she needs to be :). The baby was super active, moving his/her arms and legs, and wouldn't stay still long enough to get a real clear image, but the ultrasound tech did a great job trying. It was so neat to be able to see the baby moving around like that! It makes it feel real. The ultrasound tech estimated our due date as June 28th, 2008. After the ultrasound we went to the lab where they drew some blood and then we were on our way! We will post again soon!

Love,

Lindy, Brian, Bear, and Baby :)

Our next appointment: December 20th

Happy Thanksgiving!

Every year we head to Aunt Denise's house at 1:00pm on Thanksgiving Day (Thank you Aunt Denise!). This year was fantastic. Aaron brought his girlfriend, Erica, whom we all adore :), Kristen & Justin, Kim & Justin, Kari & Kyle, Mom & Dad, Carly & Matt, Jackie & Conner & Noah, Aunt Denise & Uncle Tom, Grandma & Grandpa, and even Daniel, Leann, Aunt Carmen, & Uncle Dave came! The house was full of family and food. Mom got all of her kids together and took some pics of us, which are posted below. We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We will post again soon!

Love,

Lindy, Brian, and Bear

A baby is on the way!

We are very excited to announce that we are expecting! Our estimated due date is June 29th, 2008. This gives our baby the possibility of being born on our 4-year wedding anniversary (June 25th). We will graduate in May and then the baby will arrive in June....we love to stay busy :). A few thoughts....We like the name Austin Riley Wilson for a boy and Addison Kaylee Wilson for a girl. Our prenatal care will be provided by Mintview OBGYN and we will be having the baby at Presbyterian Hospital (though they do deliver at CMC Main too if we change our mind). We will post again soon!

Love, Lindy, Brian, and Bear

Our Pictures Came In!

We had pictures done a few weeks ago and they arrived back today. We are posting the Christmas and casual pics, but the graduation ones have to wait until Spring. We are looking forward to Thanksgiving break, some quality family time :), and some good food! Oh, the pumpkin pie :). This week has been kind of hectic. Lindy has had an awful head cold (the ears-popping, runny nose, fever kind) and since we are winding down the semester we have tons of projects and tests. We will post again soon!

Love,

Lindy, Brian, and Bear
