MARCH 2

It's been a few weeks since this was recorded but I'm finally getting it on the web. Click below to download an audio file of the 2nd born's heartbeat:

Heartbeat

We've decided on the names for the child. If it's a boy it's name will be Carson Russell and if it's a girl it will be Mattie but we've yet to decide on a middle name. Jennifer's due on the 15th of this month so we don't have much time to decide!

Nov. 9

We had a second set of ultrasound pics done today. The baby is 22 weeks and 2 days along and is larger in size at this point in the pregnancy then Sadie was. The Ultrasound technician said it looked healthy and all the proportions appeared normal but they still send it to a specialist to review. Included in the images is a chart with measurements. Unfortunately, I don't know how to interpret the chart but maybe you can figure out what they all mean. Just click on the link below to view the pics:

OCT. 1

Yes, we're pregnant again. It came as quite a surprise to the two of us. We found out when Jennifer took a store bought pregnancy test because she had been so sick for several weeks straight. She couldn't hardly believe the results. A second one produced the same results so she made a doctor's appt. for herself

The doctor examined her and said she was certainly pregnant. Far enough along that she could already hear a heartbeat. She scheduled an ultrasound appointment for 2 days later.

The ultrasound technician said the baby was full of energy. It was moving, flailing and otherwise being very active throughout the entire process. The technician turned the monitor so Jennifer could watch during the procedure. She said either it just didn't like the pressure of the tool they use on it or we're gonna have one active kid! She also informed us that Jennifer is approximately 16 weeks along and her due date is set at March 13th. They asked us if we would like to know the baby's gender and we declined (again). It's just so much more exciting that way, isn't it?

As far as names go Jennifer decided she doesn't really like the name Kent (which is what Sadie would have been named if she had been a boy). So we have to come up with a new boy name. As far as girl names go Jennifer likes the name Marryn (not sure about the spelling yet) which was my Grandpa Wiemers' grandmother's name. But she's undecided because she doesn't like that name quite as much as she likes the name Sadie. I told that's ok because we probably wouldn't like her as much as we do Sadie. (ha ha! just kidding!)

Ok, ok, I know you want pictures. So here's the pictures we got from the ultrasound visit. There's five altogether. Just click on the link below:
