    We are proud to announce the upcoming addition of a duckling to our duckpond!  We’re expecting his or her arrival at the end of May or the beginning of June, 2010.  Overall, I’ve had a blessedly easy pregnancy thus far, and everything is pointing to a healthy baby.  We’ve heard the baby’s heartbeat, and have seen the baby dancing and waving, weightless, in an ultrasound.  I have to say that watching the baby move around and respond to baby’s environment at a mere 12 weeks old (which is only 10 weeks from being a single cell) is one of the most amazing things I have ever witnessed.  Although I can tell you that seeing the ultrasound video was ten times as amazing as the sonogram, we’ll have to settle for a still photo, found below.  God has created a new life inside of me.  Please pray for us as we prepare to become parents.

    Heartbeat video!

    Sometimes we call our baby Jamie, as it is gender neutral and, given our last name, not in the running for the baby's name.
