Mommy and Baby are Growing!

We're almost at 19 weeks so we're almost half done! The time is going so quickly! And at the request of our friend Chandra, here's a belly shot for you!

Sara's gained about 7 pounds so far, so we're right on track according to the doctor. We have our level 2 ultrasound on Thursday. At this ultrasound, we'll be able to tell how the baby is measuring, the gender, and if there are any genetic issues we should be aware of. Our doctor wanted us to have a level 2 ultrasound because of Brian's heart condition. We're excited to see the little one again! Here's a pretty blurry picture of him or her at 16 weeks:

We think it's pretty amazing how detailed these ultrasound pictures are. We have others from 16 weeks where you can see the spine, arms (he or she was waving at us) and legs (he or she has long ones - they were all crunched up). We think this one is neat because you can clearly see the little one's profile!

Last but not least, just a quick blurb on Sara's new job. A week or so ago, she was asked by her company's CEO to start a new department within the company. It's a role that she would excel at given her MBA, experience, and leadership but she was a bit wary of the timing with her going on leave in 5 months or so. The CEO assured her that if she turned it down, it was okay and that she would continue to be successful in her current role as Practice Director, but in the end, she decided she was ready for a change and the opportunity to start something new. In this new role, she will continue to report to the CEO and now is busy writing a business plan for this new department. Once the role and department has been announced at work, she'll fill you in on more of the details!
