Baby's first bath (at home)

The other night we deceided that we didn't want to be the ones with the "stinky baby", so we thought we better give Ileah her first bath at home. We have a heated floor in our bathroom, which made it really nice for her. I think she really enjoyed her bath, for the most part.

She's so tiny

Getting washed down by Momma

I think she looks like a little frog!

And Daddy washed her hair.

I think I need to use gel if I want the mohawk to stay!

Even Abby thought she smelled good after the bath!

Ultrasound

Baby Peterson (sex still unknown... lol)

I absolutely loved this picture. Baby suddenly opened his/her mouth and it looked just like baby was laughing. The ultrasound Dr. seemed to find it amusing too as he replayed this image mulitple times! (Baby is lying down with the head on the left and the big belly on the right.)

The Dr. wanted to make sure we had a serious pose of baby at his/her 1/2 point (20 weeks). It is truly amazing just how real baby looks and acts (sucking his/her thumb, curling up in a ball, all the little bones and stomach, and of course kicking momma- aka me!)

First Pictures of Baby

In November, when we found out we were preganant, we knew we needed to join the world of blogging, so here we are.

On tuesday we had our first Ultra-Sound. Our baby is just 11 weeks and 2 days old, and yet we could make out the fingers, and even toes. Our baby sure is active, and didn't want to stay still for the pictures, resulting in them turning out a little more blurry then we were able to view in real time. At one point baby put it's hands up in front of it's face, trying to cover it's self. I think it didn't appriciate all the picture taking, and is a bit shy.

One of the parts i really enjoyed about the whole experience was seening the absolute joy on Xica's face when she first saw our baby on the screen, her smile is something i won't soon forget.
