No pictures today; just a heartbeat

I don't have any pictures, because Britt wouldn't let me taking any while the doctor was doing the examination (serious! What's the big deal?), but the doctor type person found the baby's heartbeat with her Doppler type device. She said this means that our baby type fetus is healthy, which is in contrast to Brittany who is nauseous...constantly.

Oh, and here's a picture of what our baby looks like right now.

Very good news you two. Brittany, stand by that no camera rule in the exam room. It doesn't get any prettier. I am so happy for the both of you. Good luck and hopefully the sickness will subside and the roundness will take it's place.

Such a happy day. Although I do have to say it's not so much a heartbeat as a heart-swooshing-sound.

Congratulations--hope the nausea goes soon.

Hey Dan...I have a better website for you and Brittany...www.pregnancy.org

Click on pregnancy and then the prenatal pics on the right. They have pics of real babies week by week. So much better than the computer generated blob.;)

Meet Daniel and Brittany

The challenge that began with "Have a nice life, Daniel Burton" is progressing with favorable results. Surviving and thriving on lively discussions about books, Abby, or the post-grad school world, the Burtons show signs of excellent health and familial success.

Dan and Britt met on a hot July 4th in 2005. Shortly after inviting her to join him for a panoramic view of the Independence Day fireworks, and not long after her denial, Daniel and Britt agreed to break the ice over ice cream. They soon realized that they were both book geeks, decided a permanent union was worth evaluating, and were married just over a year later on another beautiful July day.

After graduating with a law degree from both he and Brittany's alma mater's rival, Daniel is corporate counsel at the Woodbury Corporation, a commercial real estate management and development company in Salt Lake City. Meanwhile, and far more interestingly, Brittany is raising a new generation of Burtons as full-time mother and family creative director. Abby is two and a half, and #2 is on the way, with arrival expected in late June of 2011. The Burtons look forward to many years of exploring canyons, creeks, and mountain tops, swapping novels, notes, and ideas, and enjoying great discussions about people, politics, and their family.

Daniel and Brittany are both graduates of the 2002 class of Brigham Young University. Abby is gunning to graduate from diapers, sooner than later.
