Our soon to be family of 6.

Yep.  I'm 16 weeks along.  And paranoid because I'm really not showing yet and haven't felt the baby as much as I'd like.  I feel sick every day, have heard the heartbeat, had the first ultrasound and saw the cute little peanut, but I'm very ready for our big ultrasound next week.  My Dr wanted to try and get it done even at 17 weeks because he'll be in the middle of moving offices when I'm actually 20 weeks.  Can't wait!! :)  

To facebook, or not to facebook?

Our facebook account is currently de-activated.  It's not that we don't love you all, but really- had you even noticed we were gone?   I guess I just have felt a little overwhelmed caring so much about the 300+ people on our account. (call it my pregnancy hormones?)  And honestly it makes me feel like a lazy/bad friend that the best I can do is post a hello on your wall from time to time. I also know that I spent way too much time on the thing wasting time away playing bejeweled, family feud, or checking up on all 300 people. (Not literally, but yeah).  We'll probably be back at some point.  I thought I'd be missing it horribly after a couple days, but it's been really refreshing not to have it to turn to to burn a few minutes of spare time here and there. Hopefully with some time to re-focus on our little family and our needs, I'll be able to find a healthy balance of 'social networking' and enjoying our little kids(Who are growing up way too fast!)      

Happy Hearts

Today we had an appointment for our Tenderheart with a pediatric cardiologist.  Our family physician had made us aware of a heart murmur that had been heard since his birth, but since it had not gone away in several years, it was time to get it checked out.  We had a wonderful experience at the new Primary Children's wing of the Riverton Hospital.  We learned that he actually has two heart murmurs.  Lucky for us they are both harmless and he should grow out of them by age 8-10ish.   He did get to have an ecg done before this could be comfirmed.  It was amazing to watch them take so many pictures of his little heart just beating away.  We are grateful for the advanced technology that surrounds us!  And especially thankful our little man is a healthy one.  He really is a TenderHeart.
