Hi Everyone. Here's an ultrasound image of Lauren taken this Monday. If you can't make it out, she is looking at the camera, her face is in the middle of the photo and her fist is directly above her cheek. She certainly looks like a chubby little girl, B.J. calls her our "Budda Baby"!
The pregnancy is going great. It's clear that Lauren does have hydronephrosis (when the flow of urine from the kidneys is obstructed leading to built up inside the kidneys) but the doctor tells us it is nothing to be scared about and that there are reliable ways to treat the condition once she is born. Everything else is good, steady heart beat and the like, so we are all smiles!
B.J. spent all day today at a seminar in town on how to be a more effective project and time manager. Despite this boring description it was actually very interesting and he learned lots of practical tips (for example, if you don't check your email for the first hour of each work day you'll be much more productive... studies say it's true!) Work is going great and projects keep rolling in. Current projects include: a school track lighting system, a couple of airport lighting systems, state building security systems, and a medical clinic remodel.
Ashley is on top of things at her office. Not too much exciting there. We've been busy with the baby's room, we fixed up an old elephant lamp B.J.'s mom used when she was a kid, and hung up several more craft items and art on the walls. The room is great and we can't wait for its occupant to arrive!
