Our Exciting News

On Sunday, May 24, Nolan and I found out that we're going to have a baby!!! We're very excited. We immediately got on the computer and used the web cam to chat with my parents (which also meant calling Dan and Anna and their clan on speaker phone so Grandma could hear the reaction). That was followed by calls to Nolan's parents and all the other Nelsons.

Today I had our first ultrasound and was able to see the baby's heart beat. Turns out we're just at six weeks, so it's a blessing to be able to see the heart beat already. Our due date is officially set for February 1. I'm sure it'll go by quickly!

Dad took pictures of Tim's laptop as they chatted with us.

you should check out babynamewizard.com, it has amazingly interesting demographic and social commentary about naming trends.

also www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/ gives stats on name use over time and regionally. jacob and emmma were top in the u.s. in 2008, while in the u.s. tops were olivia and ethan.
