The Miller Memories

Well Dutch is getting stronger and he wants us to know it! He was going crazy last night. For about a 1/2 hour he was kicking around so much that you could see Dan's hand move on my belly. It was really cool. I'm sure I won't be saying that when he starts keeping me up at night with his antics, but right now its great!

It's been a little over a week and Dan is still alive and kicking. He tried to off himself with appendicitis last Monday, but was unsuccessful thanks to the quick actions of the doctor and surgeon. Luckily, they caught it before it had burst so within about 5 hours of going to the doctor he was in the OR. We came home Tuesday evening after a very boring day in the hospital. He had his check up yesterday and the doctor said he was looking good. He should be back to normal in a few weeks.

Might as well let the cat out of the bag right in the title of the post. We went to the much anticipated 20-week sonogram today. It turned out that determing the baby's gender is one of the easiest tasks on the the list. They did a pretty thorough "20-point" inspection checking the baby's brain, heart, physical features, and overall size. We were assured that everything is A-OK. The video of the sonogram is posted below. By the end of the session the little guy was squirming around a fair bit. We must have woken him from his nap (which he was taking with his keister pointed toward the sky and his feet dangling over his head). Looked like he had his hands clasped behind his head too, but that may have just been my imagination. Try to ignore the watermark across the screen. It's just a consequence of using a free video format converter.
