Baby Isaza's First Picture

So, yesterday we had our 20 week ultrasound. What an amazing experience! Julio and I were ushered into a room, and within minutes we were looking at images of our baby. The whole process took about 30 minutes and Julio got a better view than I did. After she took all the measurements and checked everything that need to be checked, she took time to go through and show us the various images of the baby. We saw the legs moving, and the arms waving, the spine, the heart, the hands and feet. Unfortunately, for most of the ultrasound the baby was facing inward so the face was hidden. But right at the end, the head turned and we saw the baby open it's mouth as it yawned. It was amazing to see the eyes, and nose and mouth!

One of the first things we found out about our baby was the sex (as it had it's legs spread wide open). So, we are happy to announce that we will be having a baby BOY! Julio could hardly contain himself when he heard the news! So, now comes the task of choosing a name :)

Here is the first picture of Baby Isaza (at least the skeletal structure of his face).

Going on 20 weeks!

Well, as of Monday I will be in my 20th week of pregnancy. I'm amazed at how much the body changes and stretches to accommodate this new life. It's strange to look down and see a bulging belly.

Independence Day

What better way to celebrate Independence Day than with friends, food, baseball and fireworks. We had a blast hanging out with friends at the White Sox game and seeing the fireworks afterwards. Getting home was a little crazy, but we managed to get a seat on the train and stay dry despite the rain!

Hope you all enjoyed your Independence Day celebration!

Summertime fun

Summer in Chicago is awesome! There is so much to do! This weekend my parents came to visit and we kept very busy. Most of Saturday consisted of eating. First we had a BBQ lunch at home and then out to the Taste of Chicago for dinner. The Taste of Chicago was a little crazy as we tried to navigate through the crowds! It was worth it though! We had everything from pizza and fries to cheesecake and apple pie. It was a beautiful day and felt great to be outside. Here are some pictures to commemorate our weekend.

Enjoying Italian Fries!

Here I am 17 weeks pregnant and definitely showing!
