It's a Girl

We had our first ultrasound yesterday, and we got to see our baby for the first time. I never knew it before, but you can actually see the baby moving and everything during those things. It was definitely one of the biggest "Holy Shit" moments in my life. I've stared at my computer screen for 5 minutes now trying to describe how it felt, but I can't quite put words on it. It was breathtaking.

Everything looked okay; there were two hands, feet and eyes. The spine looked good, as did the brain and heart. Also, according to the ultrasound tech, she's measuring just a few days ahead of the scheduled date of January 3rd. Apparently that's pretty normal, so they didn't adjust her due date.

She's become more active, and has started to move around lately. Shana says that she was kicking like crazy today. Unfortunate for me because I'm waiting for my chance to feel a kick. Someday soon, I'm sure.

So, world, say your first hello to Kyleigh

Day Trippin'

A few days ago, Shana and I took a little road trip through Ohio. Ultimately, it ended in Rocky Fork State Park, just outside of Hillsboro, OH.

We went with the intention of trying to get some good nature shots at a new place because we've been to most of the parks around here at least twice already. We only ended up staying there for 10 minutes, though, because the place just wasn't very photogenic. The only decent shot I got was the one above.

All in all, we drove 5 hours, and stayed for 10 minutes.
