19 Week Ultrasound

We had our 19 week ultrasound today. It's a boy! Despite all the talk of advanced maternal age, all news was positive. Baby is growing and active.

Early indications are we may be able to have a vaginal birth. Maggie was carried on the right side of Debra's uterus didelphys. We were able to deliver successfully (although breech). But we were told at the time it may be difficult to deliver normally if a baby were conceived on the left side (which he was). Of course that may change as the pregnancy progresses.

Christmas 2009

This holiday season has been a real treat for the Baca family. Thank you to Ellis and Baca families for making Christmas day so special for Maggie. Thanks also to Marissa and John for hosting the family on 12/26. We had a great time as always.

We wish you and yours a safe and happy New Year. See you in 2010!

Maggie's First Snow

A decent storm blew threw Arizona last weekend. Flagstaff got up to 2 feet of snow. That doesn't happen very often here, so we took advantage of the opportunity and took Maggie to see her first snow.

She was a bit apprehensive at first. The combination of 28 degree temperature and white-blanketed landscape must be disorienting at first. Debra and I kept stumbling and sinking into the snow. Every time this happened Maggie got upset. Eventually she warmed up to the situation and did seem to enjoy watching Daddy make a snow angel.

November Update

First things first. For those of you who haven't heard via the grapevine, we're 12 weeks pregnant! The baby is due end of May. Debra had her 12 week exam yesterday and the baby was moving all over the place.

Maggie has been walking for about a week now. It is so entertaining to see her chase one of the animals or watch her walking room to room. Of course now she's into pretty much everything.

Debra is busy as ever with Maggie and her habilitation work. I have been taking advantage of the cooler weather and working on our landscaping. With any luck we will have a complete garden, dog run and patio by Summer.

Maggie Walks

Last night we were enjoying a few post-dinner The Office episodes. Maggie was entertaining herself chasing the cat and reading her books. She made her way to the play mat in front of the couch and decided to WALK to Mommy instead of the usual crawling! We were so proud.
