Hugs and kisses for Coco at 17 weeks.

The news from today’s sonogram could not be better.  We won’t keep you in suspense any longer: The cyst is gone.  Did you hear that?  THE CYST IS GONE!  Baby Coco is a healthy, cyst-free, fluid-free baby!  And oh, so cute: The doctor said that if today was the first time he had seen us, […]

Here’s a profile of the baby’s head and arms.  One hand is up in front of the face, and the other is behind the head.  What’s funny is I was laying just like that during the sonogram. Profile of the head and body.  Notice how the baby’s nose appears large and there is little evidence […]

Did you feel that big gust of wind just now?  That was our sigh of relief.  The sonogram today revealed that the scary fluid in the baby’s tummy is gone.  Yes — GONE!  The baby’s heart is beating steady and strong and looks great.  The brain, spine, and kidneys all look good, too.  And Baby […]

On a lighter note…. In the car today on the way to Joel’s house, Kaeta started singing Old McDonald quite exuberantly.  Apparently Old McDonald had some chickens, a dog, a dolphin…. Kaeta: With a squirt-squirt there, a squirt-squirt there, everywhere a squirt-squirt…. Mommy: A dolphin?? Old McDonald has a dolphin? K: yes! M: How exotic! […]

This is a hard post to write. Baby Kurth might be in trouble, and we ask for your prayers.  Last week I had a sonogram to check on a “non-worrisome abnormality” that the doctor found during a routine sonogram at my regular visit.  They sent me to a place where they specialize in ultrasounds to […]

Kaeta drew this today: Well, I drew “Daddy” (because she asked me to), but she drew the rest. “Baby Jack” is the pretend baby in Kaeta’s belly. And the scribbly parts are tornadoes!

Welcomed into the world July 21 by Jonathan and Kaethe, and big sisters Amalia and Brinnly.  So yes, if you’re paying attention, that’s A…B…C.  At this rate, they might get through at least most of the alphabet! Congrats, y’all!  We can’t wait to meet her!

So we’re only a week behind on this news…. Baby John was born happy and healthy to our dear friends, Barry and Karen on July 15th.  We can’t wait to meet him!
