Goodbye Santa Monica 3rd Ward

The Blasers' Came to Los Angeles
We had the time of our lives hosting Sherm, Juliette, and Katelyn this past week. They came to escape the winter wonderland of Boise, ID and share the beautiful weather with us here in Los Angeles. Here are a few of our highlights:

Katelyn on the Airplanes
(*she didn't understand that to lift off of the ground you had to pull back on the stick so she was the lone flyer who crop dusted the whole time)

Doctor Visit #2
So, I (Brian) was really pumped to go to the second baby doctor visit so we could see the baby again. In theory the baby is big enough that you can possibly find out the gender. We got in the doctors office and Dr Amersi busted out a heart monitor with a speaker and we were able to hear our babies little heart beating at about 180 beats per minutes.
"Any questions?" Dr Amersi asked.
"Yeah, can we see the baby on a sonogram?" I asked.
"No", she said, "you only get three on your insurance plan."
In my mind I was thinking, "What kind of lame idiot created this insurance plan. It takes like two minutes and should cost like maybe $10.00 at the most." And then I said, "okay we will wait FOUR MORE WEEKS."

Our First Doctor's Visit

Drum Roll Please!!!
There is a baby inside. Caroline almost fell off of the bed she was so excited. In no time flat there was the image of a beautiful, teeny, tiny baby with it's little arms and legs. Some people were hoping for two little ones inside but there is only one. Befo
re we could gather ourselves together Shamsah was rattling off stats and pointing to the heart beating and the spine and some other stuff that surrounds the baby that I am sure is really important but not as cool. We thought the baby was going to look like a Kumquat (that's what they compare it to online) but not so, my friends, not so. It looks just like a baby. Big head, normal body, arms and legs with joints and tiny fingers and toes, healthly heart, spine, and of course the embilical cord.
.
The baby was moving its body, little arms, and legs and was very, very active. Shamsah kept says, "what a healthy and active baby" over and over again. She was very impressed with how healthy the mother and baby are and how much the baby was moving. Then it happened. No joke! And Caroline will stand as my witness. The little showboat did a back flip right before our eyes. I think it's a Beus thing because "daddy" has never been able to do backflips. 
.
.
Shamsah's equipment estimated that the baby is 4.8 cm in length, that Caroline is 11 weeks and 4 days into her pregnancy, and that the estimated due date is 25 June 2009. She also recommended eating toast (Caroline's favorite) and an Omega 3 supplement for Mom/Baby and for Dad. I guess she could tell that Dad's mental acuteness was lacking in luster a bit. Our next appointment is 30 December 2008
.
What a fun experience! We are going to be Mommy and Daddy.

A few more details...
Sorry for not giving any details in the last post. I was in such agony over Brian posting that picture of me (which he has made me promise not to remove) that he gave up before writing any more. I am due towards the end of June which makes me a little over 10 weeks along. I don't think I would be showing at all yet, except that I eat constantly to try to curb the nausea. But who knows... people have been predicting that we are going to have the largest baby in the history of the world because we are both so big... 33 inches. 22 lbls. Thank you, everyone. That doesn't scare me at all. Not one bit.
