Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! I hope you and your family had a great holiday! We had a fun Christmas at home (the baby even had her own little stocking!). The next day we took off to New York City for a "babymoon"; just our last little getaway before the baby comes. We had a great time!

Nebraska Baby Shower

Over Thanksgiving weekend, Dan's sisters Molly and Lisa, his cousin Angie, and my sister Jenny and sister-in-law Brandi threw me a shower back in Nebraska. It was such a fun time to see everyone! I had lots of helpers opening my gifts, and it was a pink explosion. Plus, I guess little miss Brown is going to be a Cubs fan!

Baby Girl Brown 29 Weeks

Baby Girl Brown continues to grow! This week she is approximately 2 1/2 pounds and around 16 inches from head to heel. Sometimes I'm not sure how I'm going to get any bigger! She's started opening and closing her eyes, and she can see bright lights through my belly. She is putting on some baby fat and her bones are hardening. She's definitely an active little one, as I feel her moving around in there quite a bit. Only about another 11 weeks until we get to meet her, and we're really excited!

Baby Girl Brown 24 weeks

Baby Girl Brown is getting bigger! She is approximately 15 inches long and weighs 1 1/2 pounds. Her lungs are developed and her inner ear is developed enough that she's starting to recognize ifshe's upside-down or right-side up. Dan has been able to feel her kicks on the outside, which has been really fun for both of us.

Hope you are all well!

Ann and Dan

Ann at 20 weeks...

Here is a picture of Ann at the half way point. Aren't they are beautiful?

A little information that we found out about the developments of our 2010 product:

• Her skin is developing layers
• She is starting to grow her hair
• Ann says that she is starting to feel her more and more
• She is beginning to distinguish sounds

Hope this all finds you well.

Grace and peace,
Dan for the Boston Browns

Heart beat at 16 weeks....

I just figured out how to do this. Pretty cool. You might want to turn your volume up.

And its a.....

....girl! She and her mother are both very healthy.

We are super excited to meet her in February. We got a 3D of her face this morning which was amazing but they didn't want to print it out because her face isn't filled out yet....which by the way is completely normal. With 22 weeks left, she still has a bunch of developing left. So once she gets a little more fat on her frame we may have a 3D picture. Her skin is still translucent so the following picture is a little freaky but the doctor said that everything looks great.
