It's a ...

We went to the doctor this morning for an ultrasound. And the baby is a BOY!!! We were really expecting a girl. Not sure why. But I must say I'm delighted. The baby is healthy, and we are grateful for that.

Snowy January

It has been a snowy January thus far. We've had 8 inches of snow over the past few days. In fact, today is the 13th day in a row that we've had snow in central Ohio. We are at 16 inches for the season so far. This is very high as the average for the entire winter is typically around 20-25 inches. I'm loving the snow. I love the sound of a snow covered night. Everything is so bright and eerily quiet. I've been able to use my the 4wd on my pickup (which I'm trying to sell at the moment). But Kara hates it. She is not well suited for these mid-western winters.

Kara and baby are doing well. We find out in just 3 weeks if we are having a boy or girl. I'm excited to find out. Mostly, I think, because it will give some identity to the baby. I can begin to imagine what he or she will be like. And it will help us narrow down the name options.
