Before the Ultrasound

Today, before the big baby reveal I caught Jolene on video, basically capturing the moment. You can also tell by my dialogue I am a very nervous father-to-be.

Head to Toe





The ultrasound went really well! We were able to get images of of the head with eye lids shut, we took a picture of the feet with several digits and of course the classic profile shot. But most important of all - we identified the gender.

After

And following the ultrasound we have an answer, it's a GIRL!

Goodbye Tzeitel


This morning at 12:10 AM, Tzeitel Kidney passed away. After a month of being sick, wobbly and tired she became very ill last night and was having difficulty breathing. This was most likely due to organ failure and internal bleeding. We took her to the emergency vet last night and it was determined her life was at an end. I will miss our black dog, she was the first thing that got me up in the morning and the last thing that got under my foot at night. I investigated what the name Tzeitel meant this morning and found this – Yiddish for "lady" or "princess". We will really, really, really miss you.
