Dozer --- Coyote Dinner

We had our first baby ultrasound yesterday at the doctor's office. It was so cool to actually "see" the baby. We are chooseing to not know the sex of the baby; we want it to be a surprise. We have some pictures and a VHS tape too. There are hand and feet, fingers and toes. There are head and body, legs and arms. Seeing the heart pump was very interesting. It reminded me of a butterfly with its wings flapping up and down. The baby's heart rate was 149 beats/min. which is normal. The doctor said that the baby weighs about 9 ounces right now and everything looked normal. Soon the baby will be kicking and moving enough that we will be able to feel the movements.

We also were able to see my little nephew last weekend. He is doing very well considering being born so early. He is still in an incubator most the time, but my brother and sister-in-law were able to hold him. He is breathing well and should be able to come home in a few weeks. The hardest part for my brother and sister-in-law is leaving the little guy; it is hard for them to say goodbye and see ya later. I think this would be extremely tough too.

As for me, my broken leg is healing pretty good. I am still limping a little bit, especially in the morning. I see the doc in 4 weeks for more x-rays; hopefully all will healed.
