To my lovely wife.

If I should lose
I'll wake up feeling lucky
If I should take a fall
or throw it all away
I wouldn't mind lying beside you
The rest of my days

~ Hem, Lucky

23 weeks - Pt 2

During our original 2nd Trimester screening appointment, little Noah James was moving a little too much to get an accurate picture of his heart, so we scheduled a 2nd scan. Today he was still very busy but managed to sit still just long enough to take these:

Turns out, he looks as if he has his father's eyes and his mother's nose. He also has a very strong, beating heart, beautiful violin playing fingers, and lots of gumption. According to the pictures, he is as healthy and as happy as a baby could ever be.

That works for his Mom and Dad just fine.

Health Bill Passes: March 21, 2010

"This is what change looks like," Obama said a few moments later in televised remarks that stirred memories of his 2008 campaign promise of "change we can believe in."

Widely viewed as dead two months ago, the Senate-passed bill cleared the House on a 219-212 vote. Republicans were unanimous in opposition, joined by 34 dissident Democrats.

A second, smaller measure — making changes in the first — cleared the House shortly before midnight and was sent to the Senate, where Democratic leaders said they had the votes necessary to pass it quickly. The vote was 220-211.

The baby bump has officially turned into a baby dune.

Sunny day for a change

22 months and more beautiful every day!

Notice NO MORE SNOW OUTSIDE! Must have all melted or something. Hmm. Awesome.

Never too early to start acquiring goodies for the baby. Especially when it means a stuffed beagle and pop-up barn from IKEA.

All About March

March - Because it's all really that exciting (at least there's no more snow).

Granted breakfast at home is always better, but busy times call for desperate measures

Cousin doing the Flat Stanley thing, so we agreed to show him a good time in DC

Dad taking us out to eat at our favorite Georgetown Asian Dumpling Bar

Looking forward to March. Everyone loves flowers.
