Baby B's In Utero Debut

Ok, I know y'all have been dying to see these pix of Baby Barton. I will do my best to explain and hope you see what I see. The first pix, taken at 12 weeks, 5 days gestation, is baby laying on it's back with it's right side toward you. The little white spot above it's belly is it's fist.


The second pix is baby looking right at the 'camera'. It's head is to the left and you can see where the eyes are. The boys kept saying we were having an alien. :) This was taken at 17 weeks, 5 days gestation.
















Pix #3 is a 3D ultrasound taken at 18 weeks, 3 days. Amazing that you can see all of that! I didn't have any 3D ultrasound pix with the boys, I don't even know if they had them. The baby's right side/front is toward you so you can get a pretty good view of it's face and little Emery nose. It's left arm and hand are stretching out in front of it's body.

Pix #4 is the baby playing with it's foot. It's foot is on the right and it's hand is grabbing it's toes on the left side of the pix. This was taken at 28 weeks, 2 days.

Pix #5, taken at 32 weeks, 5 days gestation. The baby's forehead is on the right side of the pix and you can see the eyes, nose and mouth. On the top left is it's arm, it had been covering it's face with it's hand and forearm, kind of like the way my mom and I sleep. We lucked out as babe had just pulled it's arm away when this one was taken. Baby is starting to get squished in there so the pix are starting to get more fuzzy.

Busy Weekend

We started off our busy weekend at Joshua's MLK Hockey Tournament in Hudson. His first game was on Thursday night. He then had a game on Friday night, two games on Saturday, and one on Sunday. The kids had a great time and played really well. On Saturday, Joshua had two assists and ended up earning Player of the Game! We were very excited and of course very proud! When it was all said and done, they ended up coming in second place. Fortunately for us, all of the games were at our home rink in Hudson.

In between living at the rink this weekend, Jason started indoor soccer. For those of you that don't know, indoor soccer is inside an enclosed area with plexiglass around the side so that spectators can watch. It is also a lot faster paced than outdoor soccer. Here are some great pix of Jason at his first indoor soccer game. They are a little dark because I couldn't use my flash due to the fact that it would've reflected off of the plexiglass. There were about three kids from his travel team in the fall, other than that, it was the first time the rest of the kids had played together. Jason usually plays defense and goalie. He did a fantastic job and was disappointed at his team's loss.

The Barton Family

Hey y'all! We are the Barton's. I finally decided to join my sister-in-law's bandwagon and create a blog. Though I am a bit scared, I'm giving it a shot. My sister-in-law is MUCH more creative than I am so, for those of you that know my favorite s-i-l, (otherwise known as my sister), I promise you I am not trying to out do her. It just can't be done, not with all of her creativity. :) I can't believe I actually got these pictures on here! Amazing! I'm so impressed with myself! :)

The first picture is the four of us in Florida in April 2006 for Eric & Becky's wedding. I think we were at MGM. For those that know me well, Coca-Cola is my favorite so we took advantage of the props and had someone take our pix.

The next picture is from this past June 2007, here we are at Jason's Kindergarten Graduation. It was a very big day for us. Very sad for me as my baby is growing up! Jason did a great job performing all his songs and we were very proud!

The last picture is of Joshua & Jason at the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia. We were there in October for Joshua's 1st Official Hockey Tournament with the Cyclones. Joshua played really well and we are very proud of our future NHL player.

So, there you have us, a little introduction and pix update because I know that none of you have seen any of these pix yet. Hope you enjoy. Anyway, I can't make any promises but I will do my best to keep up with this so we can help everyone keep tabs on our busy lives. Wish me luck!
