The Latest

Justin and I are doing great. I'm feeling much better lately, so glad I'm getting into the second trimester and I'm so lucky to have Justin because he has been nothing but supportive.

We are both working a lot and once August gets here I will be super crazy with work until mid September! 

This month has been busy spending time with friends and family, in fact that probably describes our whole summer. It has been great!

We recently saw the Dr. again. I still don't really have much of a baby bump but I promise that once I start to show I will post pictures. We heard the heart beat (153 bpm) and everything is going smoothly.

No pictures this post.

Ultra Sound

We were so excited when we finally got to see the baby! At our first Dr.'s appointment we asked when we would have our first Ultra Sound and be able to hear the heart beat....the Dr. surprised us with "right now".

Here is the ultra sound from the Dr.'s Office and our very first look at our little one.

About a week later we had our scheduled ultra sound. It was determined that our due date is January 16th, there is only one baby, and everything looks great!

The baby was moving like crazy...it was so fun to watch!

 I think the baby looks like an alien here

 The baby was only the size of a peach at this point

The baby looks like a peanut..with an arm!

So that is our little one so far!

Big News

On May 11, 2011 we found out we were (I am) pregnant! We were so excited but decided to tell only our parents at first and then share with everyone else after we had seen the doctor.

Welcome!

Hello Friends and Family- I (Jen) have decided to start a Blog to keep everyone updated on The Parker Family life. Facebook is great but not all our family and friends are on it. It is also not always the place I want to share regular life updates that I know many of you like to know. Justin and I appreciate all the love, support, encouragement, and advice that you provide to us so we want to keep you updated. So, I guess if you want to know about us you will have to check back intentially! The thing I will have to do is make sure I'm updating regularly! Please send me a note if you feel it has been too long since I last updated. I hope you enjoy.
