We found out I was pregnant while living in Maine in September as my uncle Chris and Kim's "downstairs people" in their home on Little John Island, so this baby has been christened "LJ" for his/her fetal life. We were incredibly lucky to be so close to our families when we got the news, to be able to share the news with so many people in-person, and to have my mother and mother-in-law dote on me while I lay ill on the couch many weekends. We're back in Albany now, where I'm lucky to have Dan, who dotes on me while I lie on the couch, praying that energy will return to me someday soon.
In the meantime, here is the first-ever picture of LJ from our sonogram a week ago! You can already make out eyes, a nose, and at least one little armbud. I know what you're thinking - at least one arm? LJ's gonna be a looker!

Hope you are feeling better in the 2nd trimester...
Can't wait to meet LJ in the spring!
Hooooooooray! Such happy news! What a lucky little person LJ will be, to have you two for parents! :)
Congrats to you both! Ditto on what great parents you'll make.
Hey Jess-Love the blog post! LJ! That is a riot. Hope you are feeling better. We miss you and Dan. . . the downstairs is too quiet. Keep us posted with more pictures!
Hilarious!!! Wow - congratulations! I'm thrilled for Will, Esme and Molly to have more cousins relatively close in age! I can't believe we missed you when you were in Maine last month... Hope you're feeling well, Jesi. Love to you both. Julie
Thanks everybody!
Julie, I can't believe we didn't get to see you guys while we were in Maine - how was that possible?!?!
