Ronan's Cover

Ronan has done a little modeling since we came to Japan. Here is a catalog he did back in January of this year. The company is called Combi. They are known for their strollers and car seats.

The web address is http://combimini.jp

All the information is in Japanese, but when you go to the site, you will see a catalog with a little boy standing in swim rings with goggles on his head. That's Ronan. Select that photo and you will bring up the Combi Mini Catalog. He is on the next few pages too. Just three photos inside. Above the catalog you will see a button that says 100% then next to it buttons with arrows pointing left and right. Use the arrows to move between pages. Check it out.

Cheers

It's a...

I am 5 months pregnant this week and Josh and I went to our revealing ultrasound yesterday.
The ultrasound tech is 95% sure it is a boy. Josh and I saw revealing anatomy quickly. The tech was great about showing us the umbilical cord and it's striations and then the penis to reassure us it was not the umbilical cord between the baby's legs.

We are very excited. Having a little boy already, I feel a little like I know what to do with a boy. I am mostly excited to know that all the measurements taken during the ultrasound show the baby is developing normally.

My doctor here has suggested I have an amniocentesis because I am of "advanced maternal age", but I am just not comfortable with pursuing this course of action. Had the ultrasound shown or indicate any abnormalities I would pursue further testing, but I am relieved to know that all is developing normally at this time.

Baby Boy Perry has a name already. I won't reveal his name here. All I will say is that he is getting one of his names from his uncle who is currently deployed to Kuwait right now.

Love to all our family and friends all over the world
Cheers
