We're fine

Just wanted to let concerned family know that we live on high ground in the middle of the island. If a tsunami hits here, we should be fine as long as we stay put. We're both off work today--going to church, but that's on high ground too. Obviously, we really hope nothing happens here since lots of people DO live near the beaches, and they don't seem to be doing any evacuating here like they are in Hawaii.

Our baby girl's ultrasound pictures

These pictures are 6 weeks old already. They were taken when the baby was 21-1/2 weeks along in gestation. Now she's 27-1/2 weeks, so clearly she and I have grown a lot since then. The ultrasound went well--she looks healthy in all respects. The pregnancy is going well--I have felt great since a few weeks after that first trimester was over.

Samuel is doing well, though I don't think he has any idea about the baby. We tell him sometimes that I have a baby in my tummy, but he looks at us like we're crazy.

I know the ultrasound tech put "?Girl" on the photo, since you're never 100% certain. But besides this picture, we looked at multiple views of the genital region, and all seemed very, very clear that the baby is a girl.

Little foot--how sweet.
Here's the profile shot. I think these always look a little bit odd.

Recent pics

Here are a couple pics from our first weeks back together as a family. There have been a few amazing sunsets, and Rudi thought to take pictures of it one night...We also went to a beach on Andersen Air Base (northern end of Guam), which is where the beach shots and also the shots of the breathtaking view were taken.

The first picture I included because I never post any pictures of me pregnant. So there I am, halfway through!

At the same overlook--how awesome and beautiful!

Taking pictures of these two never gets old for me...
