Our First Ultrasound



We got our first glimpse of baby Schleicher today! It's finally starting to feel real! We got to hear the heartbeat (a whopping 176 beats per minute, which the technician said is average for an 8-week old baby). Our baby measures 1.6 cm "crown-to-rump," and the doctor confirmed the estimated arrival date will be May 8th. Above are our first pictures which are admittedly a little vague. The head is at the top of each picture. (Use your imagination!) But these proud new parents just had to share!

Hi, Got your chronicles letter and enjoyed immensely. No I don't teach handbells any more. Too much stress this past year. Blood pressure going up. Congrats again on the wonderful news.
