Ok so I blink and almost two months have gone by since I have given you an update. We are now less than 12 weeks away from the arrival of the baby. Didn’t we just have like six whole months to go?

During our doctors appointment in June the doctor said that he was fairly confidant that the baby was going to be a girl but not to paint any rooms. However, at yesterdays doctors appointment, we found out that the child my beautiful wife is carrying is definitely going to be an adorable baby girl. Her name is going to be Emmalyn Lucia (loo-cee-ah). A lot of people have asked where we came up with her name, so here is the background on that descision. Well we have always liked the name Emma, so we decided pretty early on that if we had a girl her name would be Emma. We also wanted to honor both sides of our families. So we added alyn to Emma’s first name to honor Beth’s Mother and we chose the middle name Lucia to honor both my Aunt Lucy and My Grandmother Becker.

Both Mom and baby are doing well. During the ultrasound at yesterdays doctors appointment, they said that Emma already weighs three pounds. We also saw that she already has lots of hair on her head. We were going to try and get the 3D image of her face but the Umbilical cord was in the way of getting a clear picture.

Here are the ultrasound pictures from yesterday.
