A Nine Month Odyssey

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step - Lao-tzu

On October 11th, 2004 Shawn & Nicole when to a doctors appointment to discuss the possibility of having a child.  

Much to their surprise the appointment quickly turned from a 'pre-conception' appointment to there first pre-natal visit.

At this time it was determined that the baby was already six weeks old.  Although, not

formally given a name - Peanut seems to be appropriate.  If you want to track the progress of Shawn &

Nicole's pregnancy check here often as it will be updated as often as possible.

 

 

Latest News - March 13th, 2005 - So you can say that this is already one well traveled baby.  So far Peanut has traveled to EpCot Center at Disney World, seen the beautiful castles of Scotland and cruised Loch Ness looking for old Nessie, herself.  As Nicole always said, Peanut is going to have 'will travel' tattooed right to its little butt.  Nicole and the baby are doing well.  The baby's heart beat is strong enough to hear with a standard stethoscope now, which is a lot of fun. Nicole is growing as planned and is constantly getting kicked and nudged by Peanut.  We have found that Peanut doesn't mind air travel, but is not that fond of buses and the vibrations they create.  Nicole just entered to the third trimester so I guess it is all downhill from here!  You can listen to the heart beat by clicking here.
