A last ride with the limo to the airport

Bye Bye California...see you next time!

This used to be my moms favourite sheep...now its mine...

Sunday night we always get a bath. We, that is my duckie and me!

With my first two teeth I can bite my foot now...

Me and my baptism dress. It was made by my Greatgrandma Martha 28 years ago for my mom. Now it fits me!

It feels much better without the dress...

JIF number one choice of choosy dads!

Tossing, turning, drewling and chewing on my toys...a nice relaxing afternoon!

Ok so I said soon, I could have meant it in a geological way.. Anyway 4 months and on to solid foods...

Sorry for the delay with new photos, been running myself ragged at work ,and honestly have little intrest in building webpages in the time I am at home :D . I will put up a new system soon™ that is a bit easier to update and more fun to look at / use. Honestly though parts of my family were here and I just haven't caught back up on life. Still I should have the new 'toy' up soon™. More on that by the middle of the week, for now, on with the cute...

The time is flying by and she keeps growing, she smiles now ,and laughs. We think she might be left-handed but are not sure (can you ever be?)

Well we are starting to find a tempo, and we haven't snapped too many photos in the last week, but here are some we finnaly got around to scanning in. hope you like em.

Well we are mostly settled in now. Happy but tiered, I think I beat my cold this weekend and it seems noboddy else is getting sick so It seems we dodged a bullet there. anyway enough with the typing you came for the images huh. well here they are.

The full information:

We are back from the hospital, and a bit tired. We wil do a lrge update later, honest. In the meantime here are a few shotsof Sophia in all her cuteness.
I added another picture today this black and white shot is from when she was only 15 minutes old!

So we have some 4d sonograms to show off! The doctor has said that she has my nose. I can live with that. The important thing is that she is healthy, (both Karina and Baby). In the first picture you can see her sucking her thumb, so cute, sooo cute. One of my freinds has said in the second photo she loks a bit like the Cthulhu I'll let you judge for yourself.

We are all a little nervous as labor could start at any moment. I have a hard time not assuming every contraction is the start of labor. Wishful thinking perhaps, I am afraid I may not be here (at work for example) this is something we would both like to avoid. THe problem is you really don't have a lot (or any) control over when this starts. It is enough to drive you batty.

There is a german saying that I find great in the situations where we worry about this. Like many german sayings it is short and to the point, "No one has stayed inside.".

Well karina goes to the doc weekly and the baby-catcher is nice. So I guess we have everything in control, or as much control as you can have over a situation like this ;-)
