May 28th Doctors Appointment

We went to the OB/GYN today and received some good news... all systems go! We were excited and relieved to hear that all is going fine. The doctor also did a sonogram giving us our first view of what appears to be a peanut. It appears to be about 21mm long and based on that length the due date is expected to be 1/2/09...

Exciting day - we had ice cream after the doc appointment to celebrate and are going out to one of Smita's favorite thai restaurants (Osha Thai) to continue the celebration.

The next doc appointment is in 4 weeks (at the end of the first trimester) and in the meantime poor Smita will continue to have lots of blood drawn to make sure all continues to be a-ok.

Welcome to our Baby Blog...

Here is how it started... Smita and I were in Washington DC at the same time but for independent business trips. I was on my way back on April 22nd - when I landed, I received a picture in my email (that Smita took on her blackberry) and a phone message to call Smita. I called Smita (who was still in DC) who gave me the big news - that she was going to be my designated driver for the next year! I was excited (and scared) but thrilled to begin the journey... Back in DC, Smita had to subtley pass up on the extremely expensive bottles of wine at her blow out dinner...
