Ultrasound video

For the first ultrasound I was in El Salvador visiting my parents, and I was not able to be in the exam room. Becky, who’s generosity is beyond words went with Joy and took my brothers camcorder and took some video which i was able to watch a couple of hours later with my parents some 3000 miles away.  When the next ultra sound came along I was here and I wanted to get some video of it to send to our parents. Every ultrasound and exam has yielded excellent results. Now nearing the end of the first trimester, and looking forward to all that awaits us.

So here is the movie I put together.

10 Weeks, 10 awesome weeks!

We so are lucky! 10 weeks of excellent news, and perfect development. We have had 2 ultrasounds, all have showed great progress by our little "pomelo" as we like to call it/him/her. Our Dr. at UCSF has been very pleased with the results and all the reports and tests are great. Our nurse Susan has been awesome and really took care of Joy, Becky and myself every chance she got. Joy had some pretty constant "morning sickness" through the first 8 or so weeks, but now it seems to be subsiding quite a bit. Her energy level has really changed, with lots of resting and re-energizing going on. We are both so very excited about each day that goes by. It sure feels like each day bring something new, and something else to be grateful for. We are not steadily moving into the next part of the pregnancy, as the first trimester quickly comes to an end we are getting ready for the next months of, learning, planning, tests, happiness, love, and more love, and all the other things that come a long with such a journey. Here are some scans of the 3 ultrasounds, i have some video i will post soon as well.
