***Crazy Stuff***

We got the baby pictures we wanted today along with some cool video clips of Lauren hanging out in the belly ;-) Keep in mind the 3D/4D computer rendition of the ultrasound works at a very slow speed so much of the videos are completely blurred during major movement (ultrasound machines aren't built with supercomputers unfortunately). The enhancement only works for a small area then the image is "pulled" similar to looking at an image on a sphere up close, the front will appear normal whereas the sides will taper quickly distorting image. She rarely looked directly at the machine so almost all of the videos were taken using technology that allows a computer to produce rapid pictures using the information read from ultrasound waves that oscillate from the side of the machine (this would make her right eye look a large bulging ball until she turned towards the "camera"). So enjoy this! It was NOT cheap lol!!

We're back and even more Pregnant!!

Well we are finally all settled here in Germany! Sorry this took so long but we've been living out of suitcases with no internet for months until now. We are officially 30 WEEKS as of today which means it is time for 7 month photos...(unfortunately we missed the 6 month photo shoot) We have had two doctor's appointments here, both went well, and we will be back April 7th for another. Lauren is about 17 inches long and weighs a little over 3 lbs! She moves like a maniac and can push her head and feet into Jill's sides so hard that we can actually see her sticking out! She can see and responds to sound even more now. We were able to see her face on our last ultrasound but it was in black and white so we're going to a German OB/GYN tomorrow to get 3D/4D pictures of her and maybe a video for our fans. She now sticks her tongue out during ultrasounds so maybe we can get some good stuff tomorrow. Anyway here are some pictures of us and Germany, our new car and when it snowed outside our house :)
