You should always check your shoes before leaving the bathroom.

Turns out it does snow in the south! We had about 6 inches fall here. We bundled up Nicholas and took him outside. He enjoyed walking on the cleared sidewalks, but could do without the cold snow. I think it was just too cold on his little hands. Of course he refused to wear his mittens. Poor guy, we don’t have a snow suit or anything for him (we are in NC after all!). He was wearing two pairs of pants, a thermal bodysuit, a sweatshirt, hat then jacket. And of course his big boy sneakers!

Here are some beautiful pictures that Matthew took this afternoon.  I am not the biggest fan of snow, but man is it pretty!

Here are some progressive ultrasound pictures. From left to right- 6 weeks, 7 weeks, 10 weeks, 12 weeks and 18 weeks. We were lucky to have several at first thanks to the complications, but since they are cleared up… no more extra sneak peaks!

On July 26th, mom and dad went for a big ultrasound at the doctor’s office. Lucky for them I wasn’t feeling shy that day and put on a good show! I made it very clear right away that I was a boy, then I danced around, kicked mommy a bit and tried to suck my thumb.  Mommy won’t post my money shot though- this is a G-rated website after all.  The sonographer measured all sorts of things on me and said I looked good. I could have told her that! I weigh 9 ounces already and am almost at half of the length I will be at birth. Here are a couple profile shots and one of my foot. And don’t worry, I really don’t have 7 toes.
