Eric Larsen Hornsby

Eric and I are thrilled to announce
we are having a healthy little boy.

We have decided to name him Eric Larsen Hornsby.

In the pictures to the right you can see his tiny little hands and feet.

There is also a profile of his face.

He was really moving during the ultrasound!!!

We are very excited.

It's A Boy!!!

Here are 3 different shots that show we are having a boy!!

The pictures to the right show the babys legs and his male part.

20 Weeks

Tomorrow at 1:00PM Baby will be called by a name.

Baby has been moving around more lately. Eric is not able to feel it yet only I can. As the baby gets bigger others should be able to feel the movement which will be very exciting.

How baby's growing:
Baby weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now. He or she is also around 6 1/2 inches long from head to bottom and about 10 inches from head to heel — the length of a banana. (For the first 20 weeks, when a baby's legs are curled up against his torso and hard to measure, measurements are taken from the top of his head to his bottom — the "crown to rump" measurement. After 20 weeks, he or she is measured from head to toe.) He or she is swallowing more these days, which is good practice for his digestive system.

19 Weeks

Melissa 19 Weeks! Frank never leaves my side these days.

I am finally wearing a different shirt.

Amy and Bob gave me this shirt. It is cute and really comfortable.

Baby Hornsby

Baby Hornsby is 19 weeks old this week! We only have to wait 1 more week before we find out the sex (Jan 28th at 1:00PM)!!!



Baby can hear this week. Eric and I plan to start talking to the baby and playing music for the baby.


Here is a description of what is happening with the baby this week.

How your baby's growing:Your baby's sensory development is exploding! His or Her brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. Some research suggests that he or she may be able to hear your voice now, so don't be shy about reading aloud, talking to her, or singing a happy tune if the mood strikes you. Your baby weighs about 8 1/2 ounces and measures 6 inches, head to bottom — about the size of a large heirloom tomato. His or Her arms and legs are in the right proportions to each other and the rest of his or her body now. His or Her kidneys continue to make urine and the hair on her scalp is sprouting. A waxy protective coating called the vernix caseosa is forming on her skin to prevent it from pickling in the amniotic fluid
