Everything but the rain

At the 23 week ultrasound Aiden was healthy, active, and cleary a 'boy' (don't need to rely on the Dr. to point to anything anymore). Mom and dad are blown away at how quickly his cells are multiplying... cheeks filling in, heart pumping away, legs extending, noggin widening (uh oh). I'm equally impressed by the image quality, although the 3D module was down preventing us from seeing Aiden face to face (trying again soon). Sheri has been feeling kicks for over a week now - although I'm still waiting to see/feel the first external signs of the miracle growing underneath. Truly an incredible experience!

Aiden's sister, Ha'Bibi celebrates her 7 week birthday today and continues to enjoy the expat life... keeping us on our toes with a tremendous energy that makes us feel (and sometimes LOOK) a lot older than our first puppy experience - we're thankful that she's remarkably accurate with her 'potty pad'. We hope she's fully acclimated and self sufficient by the time Aiden starts his stay with us... the upcoming doggy door installation should help. First round of shots next week will let us take her outside and expand her world to include sand, dirt, rocks, and some bits of dead grass (aka our beautiful side yard).

What a sweetie (the dog). I am so bad at identifying baby parts on ultradsounds, but that ultrasound pic is awesome. It actually looks like a baby to me.

the kicking is always cute/exciting at first, then by the end it looks like an alien about to pop out...at least it would be a cute alien.
