Its a Girl!

Amy's Belly. At 21 weeks pregnant, Sadly this is the first belly picture that we've taken.

Well, We went to the Dr. today to get our 20 week ultrasound, and found out that Its going to be a Girl! We are both really excited and filled with love for her already. We've included a few pictures from our ultrasound experience and hope that you enjoy them. This was the first time for Derek to see the baby and we both loved every second of it.
She was quite shy for a while and kept wiggling all over the place, It always seemed to be in the opposite direction that the technician wanted her to but she eventually showed her face. In this picture she's even covering her face with her 2 little arms and hands, This was right at the beginning of the ultrasound so it was quite funny.She spent most of the time facing away from where the ultrasound handle was and with some urging and poking she turned quite a bit, but she's always wiggling as has been constantly for the last few weeks. In this next picture she rolled over and showed us her back and spine, Although she was shy for quite a while and didn't really want us to see her she eventually got over it and spread both legs for us to help us find out the gender, (Female) which is what this is a picture of.This is her profile picture, It took some poking a bit to get her to keep still enough because as I've said she was moving all over the place by this point in the Ultrasound.And finally, This one is our favorite. This is another profile picture, only here She's sucking her thumb. No kidding... She's already a thumbsucker, That's going to be a tough habit for us to break her of.Derek is currently working on making a video with some of the Ultrasound pictures so that you can watch her wiggle and we are hoping to get that up in the next few weeks.

Just Time

Well, a few weeks has gone by and we haven't made any recent posts. So here we are per request. Things are still going well, School, Work, etc. I've been busy at Paul Mitchell The School with lots of hair appointment for stuff like Perms (I hate perming hair) and general cuts. Derek's still out looking for a job, Its a tough market, especially in the Fire field, He's had a few offers but we are waiting for Corporate to approval for new hire's so again, we are waiting.. We still haven't heard from LA City Fire but he has an upcoming Test with West Valley City Fire Department later in the month. Derek is looking into Paramedic schools across the west coast and we are attempting to sort out how we can work that out this fall if he doesn't get a professional Fire job between now and then.
We had a fun Valentines day, Didn't do much, We hung out during the day and I worked that night. Be sure to check back a week from Today (Tues. Feb 24) because we will be finding out and posting the sex of our baby! Can't wait! Until then....
-Amy & Derek
