Baden's first Soccer Match!

Our oldest nephew, Baden, during a break from his first soccer match!



Part of Baden's "excited" fan club.
This section was a bit more excited. It might have to do with the fact that Kelli got engaged to Stephen Spurlock on Friday! We are very excited for them.

Baby Helmick at 19 weeks!

Keri and I have decided to wait until the big day to find out if we will have a boy or girl. We can't wait to meet our lil' one. Baby H gave us quite a show yesterday at Keri's 19 week appointment! He or she was moving like crazy giving us a great video to watch. The woman performing the ultra sound was able to determine that our child looks to be healthy and growing great! She wrote the sex of our kid and placed it in an envelope. We look forward to opening it once Baby H is born to see if she was right! Our new due date is July 8th 2009 which is a day earlier than expected. No big deal there. At this point the baby is 10 ounces and 6.5 inches long. Thank you for praying for our child. We feel so blessed by God. He has truly blessed us beyond what could have imagined. Keri mentioned today that the love she felt for our child yesterday during the ultra sound made her so excited for the day we truly meet him/her face to face. She is going to be a great Mom!
Check out that profile!
Just chillin' out. Laying on the back. Notice the spine and head.

The color is the fluid that is going through the arteries in the umbilical chord.
Baby H decided to turn his/her head and show us his eyes!
Good looking spine!
The heart rate was 138 bpm yesterday.
