Well, if you haven't already heard the news, here it is (look left!). That's right- a new baby Olson is on the way! We're still pretty early on in the pregnancy. These pictures were taken yesterday at 13 weeks and 2 days. I wasn't supposed to have an ultrasound until 20 weeks, but some hopefully minor concerns had me in the office getting a full checkover. Thankfully, there was a strong heartbeat and a VERY active baby! As long as everything stays that way, we can expect this new little one around May 24th.
My doctor asked if we were finding out the sex, and if we wanted her to see if she could tell. "YES!" The closest she could get, though, was "Well, that could be a 5th appendage or it could just be the cord." And, unless I'm in for any more "checkovers" we'll have to wait until January to find out with more certainty.
The most amazing part was seeing how much change occurs in such a short amount of time. My first ultrasound at 7 weeks showed nothing more than a peanut/nugget/blob with a heartbeat. Now, only six weeks later, we could see the whole profile, hands and fingers, a spine, a brain, etc.... It's pretty amazing!
We will keep you updated on the progress of this pregnancy. In the meantime, enjoy the pics. Keep in mind, the baby right now is about the size of an action figure with a really large head!
If you have any suggestions for names- boy or girl- feel free to share. Right now we've narrowed it down to Ruthie #2 (we think either a boy or girl could handle that, don't you?)!

I think Matthew Noah for a boy - his initials would be MNO. I love the name Emily Rose for a girl.
