Diptford England

John and I had a wonderful time at Caitlin and Will's wedding in the small town of Diptford, England (about 4 hours outside London)

The backdrop... rolling hills covered in sheep.

Orzo and I getting ready for the wedding. I was just starting to show around the time of the wedding (16 weeks pregnant) and luckily still fit into my bridesmaid dress.

Notice the bride is forcing the pregnant lady to carry her dress while her husband and other bridesmaid stand by doing nothing?

... the new Mr. and Mrs. Palframan enjoying their wedding cake.

Unfortunately our digital camera broke the day after the wedding, so we were forced to buy an old fashioned disposable camera at a gift shop to use for the rest of the trip.

Orzo and I are doing well and since returning from the trip, now at almost 20 weeks pregnant, are definitely into maternity clothes. While I can still fit in some of my regular clothes, I decided it was time to switch to pants that I didn't have to unbutton to sit down comfortably.

It's a Girl!!!

Congratulations to the few of you that voted for girl, you get the satisfaction of being right. For those of you that voted, incorrectly, for boy you must now change 1 poopy diaper. The final tally was 63% for boy and 36 % for girl ... that is a lot of diaper changes that I can pass off to others!!

Everything looked good on the ultrasound. Orzo (or maybe it should be Orza now) is 6 inches long and she is right on target for the same due date of January 16.

Notice the 1 finger visible in front of her face, thoughout most of the ultrasound she was holding up her index finger. I think she was giving us the first indication that she is Number 1.

She looked more like a baby and less like an alien on the ultrasound monitor.

We have already had a few suggestions of girl's name, including: Robin Sun Caruso, Alle or Ella II, Julianne Eva, and Junaluska Pizza French Fry Caruso. (For those you that don't know, as a kid I use to tell people my name was Sara Ellen Pizza French Fry Rybolt, or some variation of fastfood middle names).

John and I had an excellent time in England and at my friend's wedding and will post pictures in another entry. There was a high demand for finding out the sex, so we were trying to satisfy our fans as soon as possible.
