This shot shows a profile of the baby.

Master of the ultrasound angle, this picture shows the bottom of one of the baby's feet.

A still life of the heart beating at its rapid, yet normal, 148 beats a minute.

If you spotted these as the baby's hands, you should be thinking about a new medical career.

Read the next posting down the line for the context. We hiked to the top of this beautiful site with Jon and Cathy and looked out over the Portland river valley in the next picture.

And now, a brief journey backwards in time to our trip to the Northwest. In June, we also got to stay a couple of nights with Jon and Cathy in their new house in Portland, Oregon. They took us to many of Portland's funky highlights--read we gained poundage. Jen also got to see her cousin Becky, while I was able to meet up with my cousin Dana who I hadn't seen in 7 years. Thanks for hosting us guys!

Here is the Bean at six weeks. We find out the sex this Friday.
