Meet Chandler

We didn’t find out the sex of the baby.  We like to call the baby Chandler, because it’s one of those names that could go either way.  I should be very clear here that although we like the name Chandler and encourage others to use it, WE ARE NOT NAMING THE BABY CHANDLER.  Here are a few of the early shots of Chandler!

December 18 we heard the heartbeat for the first time.

January 8 Chandler was so active we couldn't find a heartbeat on the doppler, so we had another ultrasound. All is well!

I have been very fortunate to feel 100% awesome this entire pregnancy.  No pain, no exhaustion, no extra trips to the doctor for anything worrisome.  We postponed our “20 week” ultrasound (in quotes because you can get them as early as 18) so that my mom could come with us when she visited over Spring Break.  These shots show Chandler at just shy of 22 weeks.

Chandler would not stop moving around. We might have the world's blurriest ultrasound photos.

It’s crazy to think the next time we see this miniature person she or he will be in our arms. Until then we’ll enjoy the frequent flips and spins as Chandler hardly ever rests!
