Engaged

So I know this blog is supposed to be about Ali, but I figure her mommy and daddy getting engaged over the weekend pretty much belongs:



And before you can ask....No, we haven't a clue where we will be going from here, nor when. We spent the weekend in Victoria with Tony's Mom (thanks Billie!), his brother Dave and Dave's girlfriend Rachel. Sunday night, post proposal, Tony was able to feel Ali moving around for the first time. Only three more days until we hit the six months mark! Every morning I seem to be so much bigger than the night before. This last picture is "Ali" enjoying the half day of nice weather we had:

thanks, cynthia!

and our collection grows! we've got quite a few adorable outfits for the young lady already. i find myself magnetically attracted to the baby clothes as can probably be evidenced by the amount of flickr pictures i've devoted to outfits.

meet ali, the daughter

Our first look at the little one was from the bottom, confirming what we already knew in our hearts: our baby is a little girl. She's quite an adorable 10 ounces, sitting with her legs crossed and shying away from all the procedures the medical professional had to conduct (she gets it from her daddy). Her fist is raised to her head, surely the sign of a strong woman and/or budding revolutionary. She moves around quite a bit which no doubt can take some of the credit for the internal symphony her mother has been conducting. Now if only it could explain daddy...

We went and bought some little fuzzy pink socks to commemorate the occasion. There are more ultrasound pictures on flickr. You can click the one above to get there, or any of them to the left.

edit: Tony forgot to mention the cutest part of the whole thing, little Ali had hiccups throughout our whole viewing!
