Introducing Baby Martin!!

Well, we have some news. >grin<

Here is a new mommy trying to wear her own clothes as long as possible...with a growing belly!!

We went to the doctor today (yes, we finally decided on the hospital: American Sino comes highly recommended from friends here in Shanghai) and we were delighted to "meet" our little almost 13-week-old!


I love this first picture: not as clear in this photo, but we can see quite detailed facial features!! How beautiful!!

The second image is of the entire body, with Baby politely hiding any clue of gender. hehe
Still a little early to tell, anyway. Maybe my next appointment in 4 weeks!! We'll see! :)

Here are some closer shots...not quite as clear, though:

Joe is doing great at taking care of me (he cleaned out the fridge yesterday for me because every time I opened it sent me into a gagging spell...thank you over sense of smell!) Thankfully the nauseous feelings have been mostly gone for about a week now, so hopefully will stay that way!

We are so happy! May 4th is our due date...so stay tuned for more info as we begin this exciting journey of parenthood!!

Nica (& Joe)
