First Contact

On Monday of this week, Melissa had an appointment with her midwife, and we were able to hear the baby's heart beating! Unfortunately, we couldn't record it to play for you.

Then on Thursday she had her first ultrasound, and we made visual contact! We were excited to see for the very first time...





The due date is set for March 21st, the same day as Melissa's birthday. But everyone knows that the Bryans have a tendency of being fashionably (cough) late, so we won't be surprised if it's an April event.

It's too early to know the gender or anything, all that they can tell is roughly how old it is, and that everything seems to be going okay.

We hope you enjoy these first snapshots. We'll keep you informed in the coming weeks!

A short update (more to follow...)

Hello, I am writing from the University because (for some reason) it takes 10 - 12 days to change the address of our account with our internet provider. After that I will post some pictures, and I'm also planning to include a video walk-through of our new home! Here is our new address:

1 Daysfoot Court
York
YO10 5BP
UK

In other news, I received more financial aid from the University! About 2/3 of my tuition is now covered, meaning less loans to pay back, which makes us very happy.

We're busy unpacking our few boxes and buying home stuff (I always get excited when I can get a new frying pan). We'll be having a house-warming party later this month and you're all invited, so buy your tickets now! :)

Pictures are forthcoming,

-Chris
