For every cute picture that I take of this little angel, there are ten others that didn't turn out so well. Here are some of the random pictures we've taken this month.
So, I guess it's about time to announce... we're having a baby! Hank is finally getting his boy! I am 22 weeks along (5 months), and we are due May 21st. So far, the pregnancy has gone just swimmingly. I had a little internal bleeding in the beginning, which put me on bedrest for a couple days, but everything is better now and looking great. Our little boy is growing right on track and kicking me constantly! I'm feeling all sorts of aches and pains and total exhaustion and I couldn't be happier. It's wonderful to actually feel pregnant.

I was seven and a half months pregnant when we went to Utah to visit family for the holiday weekend. While we were there I noticed that I hadn't felt the baby move for a little while, so Hank and I went to the hospital to check it out. When they did an ultrasound they found that her little heart wasn't beating. From early on in the pregnancy we knew that things weren't quite right. She consistently measured six to eight weeks too small and the doctors suspected a heart defect. They had told us that there was a possibility that she wouldn't make it, but we tried to keep our hopes up. So, when we saw her on the ultrasound, we knew right away what had happened. The doctor induced labor and after about 10 hours I delivered our little angel. Anna Denise was born at 1:19am on July 4, 2010. She weighed 1 ...

I like the one where she's eating the plastic bin (her bathtub?).
