A Pretty Good Day
Three things made today especially incredible.First and foremost, we went to the doctor for Erin's second ultrasound. This was where they check the probability for Downs Syndrome and trisomy 13/18. The results were quick and joyful, the baby looks very healthy. The visit reminded us of the same visit with Aeriana, the baby was so active the nurse doing the ultrasound got a little frustrated (looks like we've got another little ninja). We enjoyed seeing the new baby roll, twist, wave, scratch his/her head, and even perform a half-decent somersault. There was also a little relief to confirm once again that there is only one baby... after the cruel joke in the video we thought for sure we'd be "punished" by having a little surprise.
The second great thing was our trip to pick up our new minivan... new to us at least. We signed for a nice 2005 Chrysler Town and Country on Saturday and were able to pick up the crisp/clean
And last, and probably least (when compared to the two above), we bought Erin a plane ticket to Italy today. I'm going on a business trip at the end of April there and we found a good deal for plane tickets and our amazing, incredible, wonderful, thoughtful, dazzlingly attractive (oops, did that just push it too far?) friends Matt and Renee agreed to watch Aeriana for us. So we'll spend a few days on a beautiful lake in northern Italy (where Erin will enjoy the scenery and I will be in meetings all day), and then we'll spend a few more days in Milan taking in the sites. We are extremely excited, and extremely grateful that Erin will be able to come with me.
All in all, not a bad day.

E you have had two ultrasounds already? Man I wish I had your doctor. You two got a minivan how awesome! How do you like it so far? Have a great time in Italy you two, it will be a trip of a lifetime.
Italy sounds sooo gooood! Enjoy it!
Gasp! I obviously haven't been checking your blog. You're having another baby? Exciting! Congratulations! And Italy! Wow. Can't wait to see pictures of your trip!
WOW! Amazing news and 3 incredible things! I want photos of the minivan! Congrats on joining the world of minivan parents. It is a joyous world and makes life so much easier. We had a little car when we had 2 and it was not as pleasant as it could have been if we had had a minivan. Congrats!
Congrats on another healthy baby.
And your trip sounds like so much fun! Keep us posted.
Love you guys!
