I have been terrible at keeping the blog up to date over the holidays! We had a wonderful time in Salt Lake City. I actually felt good enough to snowboard and/or ski for 3 full days of our visit. Actually, the only day I felt really crappy was Christmas day. Today I felt pretty worn out after 2 long days in the car coming back to Tacoma. Hopefully a day of rest today will allow for a low angle ski tour around Paradise, Mount Rainier, tomorrow. I would upload some pics from Christmas, but I didn't take any! If I can get Cory to email me some that she took, I will get some on the blog. This picture is from today. I think I am finally starting to look preggers! Io looks a little concerned. Thank god for the trend of low-rider jeans. I am hoping to put off maternity clothing for as long as humanly possible!

We had our first ultrasound today. What an amazing thing that was! Before the ultrasoud, the midwife used the doppler to hear the fetal heart tones and I immediately lost it...could not keep the tears from welling up in my eyes. It was like, "Ah ha! There IS a reason for feeling as icky as I have." The sonographer is very experienced and says it is more than likely a girl, but we won't have that confirmed until the 20 wk ultrasound. Baby looks to have all her parts (and no extras!) and her measurements are all within normal limits. She was really movin' around in there, posing very nice for all her pictures. Wow. It's the real deal!
