A rabbit, a sheep, and a gummy bear

(diagram a: profile of Gummy Bear's left side. right segment = head, left segment = body, two dots at end of body = feet.)

We had our first ultrasound today! I am 10 weeks along. In the beginning baby was moving around so much that the doctor had trouble getting a clear picture. Tony was able to see how active a baby can be. Fortunately, at this point, I can't feel it. The baby is using me as a bounce house. But when the doctor turned the monitor towards me the baby fell asleep and wouldn't budge from it's warm sleeping bag. (I have that affect on people;) The doctor said that the baby's heart rate is great, all the limbs are formed, and the baby is growing well. The nurse came in and asked to see the pictures and said, "what a cute gummy bear!"

We are so grateful for the technology that allows us to see our little one develop. We are so blessed and humbled by the love and trust our Heavenly Father has for us. We are excited to announce the expansion of the Montecino Family!

At last! We have named the blog!

I was looking at Lisa's and Larissa's blogs and it made me decide that I need to get started on ours. I looked back and I realized that I had originally started this blog back in June 2009! Yes, I am typically a procrastinator, but I didn't realize I was this bad! I had the idea of starting it before Tony and I got married so that I would be able to post pictures of our wedding right away. (You see how well that went!) We are going to use this blog as a family journal. Sorry for the back tracking, but better a year late then never, right!?! More coming soon!
