hi there!


yep, it's what it looks like: little andy jr.
or, little damara jr.!

our first ultrasound went really well. everything is growing as it should; we got to see cross-sections of the brain developing and the four chambers of the heart beating . . . and watched as the babe snarfed down amniotic fluid. we also stayed true to our word and kept the gender a surprise. so fun. :) wondering, wondering about so many things. i guess it's all just starting to become very real - there's a little person growing in there! - and very exciting.

lots of kicking these days . . . and the due date got moved up to may 27. with this crazy spring break-up weather lately (it was 45 degrees today as i walked on the beach . . . so nice!), it makes may seem not too far away.

We picked a new name last night (at the bar, where we miss you and actually I almost drunk-dialed you twice! but Sharon and Gilson wouldn't let me) Katsu. Isn't that a great name?
