3 it's the Magic number


Yes, Kelly baby number 3 is on the way to join our family.  And yes, Erin and I realize we will be outnumbered.

So the details are that we are 13 weeks along and everything is looking good.  Our due date is April, 11 2009, but with having to go C-section we will have a scheduled date in a few months.

We are excited to share the news with all of our friends and family around the country.  We will be a very 21st century family and keep this blog updated on all the details of the pregnancy.  So check back for new news.

We had our first sonogram a few weeks ago to see our little one.  I've added the pictures to this post but know it's early and hard to know what you are looking at in the image.  We saw a very strong heartbeat and all 4 chambers of the heart.  We saw the baby move its arms and put its hands to its mouth.  We may have a thumb sucker again.

So here is the first image of K3.  The bigger round blob to the left is the head and he/she is facing down.  This is a profile view.  The oval shaped blob to the right is the body.  

Here is a closer look.  Still hard to see but the brighter white lines on the head are the jaw bone.  The small blob below it is its hand.  When you see it live as the baby moves and the images move, it really is easy to see.  The blurry still image just doesn't do it justice.
 
Erin is doing well, the evening sickness (her timing of traditional morning sickness) has been light and is now pretty much gone away.  Since this is number 3, she is starting to show a little bit, it's cute.
 
We told the boys last night and PJ is very excited.  He actually asked us a few weeks ago for a new baby sister so his wish came true, at least the baby part.  6 more weeks until we will know if he's getting a sister.He wants to call her Ariel, we told him we would have to talk about that name.

Erin thinks it's a girl and I am fine waiting until we see in a few months.

Well, that is all the newest excitement here in the Kelly house.
