Heather and I saw the baby move in our 10-week ultrasound, and everything has continued to look good through the 12-week appt, so we're making announcements now

The baby is due 3 April 2008, a week before Ethan's 4th birthday. He's very excited, and can't wait to start to share his lightsabers and be a good big brother

We'll find out the sex as soon as we can, so that we can start the long process of to find some names we like in common and Heather's hoping for a girl (she was convinced Ethan was a girl up through our 16 week appt...).

After our three miscarriages in 2006, it hasn't been easy being hopeful with this pregnancy, but things look good so far and we have no reason to expect them not to continue that way.

Even better news than Bottle City shipping!

Congratulations, I truly hope it all goes as smoothly as such things can - I wish you all well, keep us all posted.

well, congrats!

i wonder if you will ever post color pictures rather than monochromes: i know that you do prefer those related to 1ed modules, but you should align the preferences with the technology...

Congratulations and if you came to Italy bring your baby along - Italians have a very soft spot for children and they are VERY tolerant

So wonderful to see good, happy news! Lucy OR Joyce would be a good name, I think. :wink:

Congratulations. Post the sex ASAP so we can make suitably inappropriate suggestions for names.
