Week 25 Update

We had a full echocardiogram done for the baby this week and  came out with great news - she has a perfectly healthy, beautiful looking heart.   (I have a bicuspid aortic valve which they think is genetic or may increase chances of other congenital defects... but I've heard different things from 4 different doctors now so who really knows?)   We were really trying not to worry about it, but man oh man, this was quite the relief!  

Definitely have a little belly going on now :)  But aside from some nerve pain in my lower back, I'm still feeling great.  I feel really lucky that I've had such an easy pregnancy so far. It's hard to believe we are already two-thirds of the way there.

Also got a few more photos during our visit.  The first is a 3D ultrasound... amazing what technology can do....  We tried to get a full view of her face, but she was sucking her little thumb again :)  You can see both hands in front of her face, one curled under the other.  This will probably be the last ultrasound, so I guess we'll have to wait until she gets here to see what she looks like.  Can't wait!!!

Baby Haugen

On October 23, 2010, our lives were forever changed when we found out we were going to parents!  Each day we have grown more and more in love with this precious new life.  We are so excited for what lies ahead of us and cannot wait to meet our little baby.
We are truly blessed.

Our first glimpse at our little sweet pea.  8 Weeks 6 Days

Looking pretty cozy at 12 1/2 weeks

Hmm... maybe inherited Eddie's long legs?
