Daniel got his dream job!

For those of you that don't know, Daniel got his dream job as a public defender for Clark County. He has his own office and his own card. This weekend we made him feel official by decorating his office. Here is what is turned out to look like!
Just Ignore the messy desk.....isn't that fabric beautiful? Daniel's mom helped him cover his bulletin boards.
That amazing Don Quixote piece on the wall was given to Daniel from our wonderful friend Adele Austin. (Thanks Adele it looks great!)

A big thanks to Jenn and Gaynell for helping Daniel with his office. Snaps for Jenn and Gaynell!!

2nd Trimester

Now that I'm officially done with my second trimester, I figured I would give a recap of how it went. AT my 14th week we went to get an ultrasound done. Daniel was able to come with me. I think he might has been a little bit more nervous than anything. When the ultrasound tech was taking measurements of the baby's arms and legs he kept asking, "do you know what those measurements mean? Is everything normal? Is he developing at the right rate?" I thinks she was probably used to skiddish parents because she just said. "I'm just imputing the information right now, but I promise I will go over everything with you." As we watched the screen and what she was doing Daniel and I both thought that we saw boy parts, but we're not experts so we just waited until she said, "Well do you want to know if it's a boy or a girl?!" We emphatically said "YES!" And then she confirmed, It's a boy! I wish I could post mental images, because if I could I would show you Daniel's face. Oh well, I'm sure someday we will have that technology. The best part of the whole appointment was when Daniel asked the tech if she could just hold the camera still so we could watch him. She did and it was so amazing! He was just bouncing back and forth and moving his arms back and forth. Daniel was surprised that I couldn't feel him at that point, but it wasn't too long after that that I started to feel him bump around. So my baby is in the 68th percentile for length of limbs and 80th percentile for belly (i have a fat baby!) We had another ultrasound a month later just to check his heart and make sure he had all 4 chambers...he does. So here are some of our recent pictures.
Here is proof that it's really going to be a boy!


He's going to have big feet like mommy's!


I swear he waved at me here! Can you see his little hand up by his face? He was waving.
