The big daddy update......

Today we had another ultrasound. Last time there were a few things that they did not feel they saw as well as they would like, and wanted to see some more. Little BK however, had different ideas, and was stubborn. The doctor got to see what she wanted, but BK did not give the photo opportunities that they have in the past. BK was curled up in a ball with the right arm covering half the face, and the left leg up across the other half and foot above the head. Quite a flexible little demon we are going to have.

Above is a profile shot of BKs head. You can make out a nose, and other facial features. Below is a spine.


Now, you may ask, how is this information "The big daddy update......". The reason is, for so much of the process, dad takes a backseat and watches, just as the rest of the world does. But today, Daddy got to feel the baby kick for the first time! Jean has been feeling it for some time (see below, and she still tells me to shhhhhh sometimes), but today, after the ultrasound, we were at our friend Mikes house, and Jean mentioned that the baby was kicking. I got up, went across the room, and put my hand on her belly. A very pronounced kick came soon after. Jean said it was one of the biggest she had felt. Showing off and performing for daddy--this is gonna be one good kid!!
