Baby's First Pictures

Here are our 12 week ultrasound pictures.  The baby was moving like crazy and had a strong heart rate!

The baby's head is on the right. It's belly is the bump in the middle, and its legs are bent up on the left side of the picture.

Nuggy J is so relaxed that its legs are crossed in what the ultrasound technician called "the hammock position."  Although you can't tell from this angle, Nuggy J's hands were also neatly folded. 

Nuggy J is on the Way!

Josh and I are happy to announce that we are expecting a little bundle of joy this January.  The official due date is January 11th.  We are so excited to meet the little nugget! We told our families about our exciting news around 11 weeks and then used our housewarming party to tell everyone else.  The picture is of the future nursery with our "surprise message" painted on the wall. This is how we let our guests in on the news at our housewarming party.  Needless to say, taking people on tours of the house was rather fun!  Thanks for all the well wishes we have received so far. We are so excited to begin this new chapter of our lives! Also, a final thanks to my dear sister Jen who came up with the baby's "in the belly name"..."Nuggy J." It stands for Nugget Jansen.  We love the name and use it to refer to the little guy/girl.  Disclaimer…Although the room is painted pink, we do not yet know whether we are having a boy or girl.  The room was that color when we bought the house...and will be changed regardless of the baby's gender :)
