We're having a baby!!!

Most of you know by now, we're pregnant! This is a very exciting time for the two of us as we can't wait to start a family! As we count down the days (due in January) we thought we would extend our excitement to you by publishing this blog, which we hope will not only keep you up-to-speed with the progress of Melinda's belly but also act as an outlet for all of the stories that we are sure to experience as we come closer and closer to bringing little Leonardo into the world. Please share your excitement and/or advice by posting blogs of your own.

...here we go:)

18 Week Sonogram

Dear Baby Leonardo,
You amaze Mommy and Daddy more then anything!
We saw you today on camera and are so proud of all your fingers, toes, bones, strong heart, and EVERYTHING!

The doctor's camera even showed us all four chambers of your heart, your entire spine, the arteries leading from the umbilical cord to you, and all the strong bones in your legs and arms. We even got to look up your little button nose (hee, hee!).

We know you've got quite the personality already because when Daddy started talking to the doctor you lifted your arm and gave him a big high five right on the camera! The doctor took a picture for us just before you pulled your hand away :). It looks like you love your Daddy's voice as much as Mommy does!
We also loved how you mooned us with your little rump every time the doctor tried to look at your lower half. I know you were listening when we told everyone we don't want to know if you're a boy or a girl. You're super smart already! :)
And we loved when you got bored with all the hoopla and put your arm over the top of your head, posing and looking straight at us. Mommy and Daddy could look at our little sweet pea ALL day!
Keep growing strong little one. We love you SO very much!

PS. We've got a series of amazing pictures from the sonogram but I'm afraid one of my doctor brothers will be able to see something we can't see and accidentally slip with the surprise. So for now all they get is the hand :)
