Milestones

It's a big day for the whole family today because Avery and I have made it to 22 weeks or 5 months and Scott has made it to 372 months! Happy 31st, Scott!

We have a fun birthday weekend planned for Scott. Friday is dinner at Po Brooklyn. Saturday we'll be in NJ to buy Avery's furniture and pick through Jacqui's and Abby's layette clothing. Sunday we're going to get even more organized planning out Avery's registry at buybuybaby, then go for massages at our favorite spa Oasis. And Monday we're off to the Bronx to see the Yankees play the Mariners!

As promised, here are some new pics! Here's hoping all three of our readers have a great weekend.

J?

Hi all... We'll be getting some new pics up this weekend. In the meantime, please check out this website to help us figure out what Avery's middle name will actually be!

Cheryl at 20 Weeks

These are already a couple weeks old, but here are some pics of Cher from the day of the last ultrasound.

It's a girl!!!

Our regular ob/gyn told us way back at 15.5 weeks that he thought it was going to be a boy, so we figured he was right for the next month. Pretty much all we talked about was "el niño."

But today at the 20 week anatomy scan, the doctor said she was 95-97% certain that it was a girl! I was shocked for one minute, then extremely happy about having a little girl. Cheryl was immediately ecstatic, and later said that it was one of the happiest days of her life. It was for me too.

Anyway, here are a couple of pics of Avery from the most recent ultrasound, at just under 20 weeks.

Here, the baby was something like 13.5 oz., which puts her at about the 95th percentile for weight. How can such a big baby fit in Cheryl???
