Announcing Baby Shinn!

Friends and Family,

Lisa and I are proud to be expecting an addition to our family! With an expected birthday of December 18, (NAMEHERE) Shinn will join Sam (cat), Max (cat), and Maggie (dog) as our first same-species child. Attached is an image from our first sonogram a month ago. At the time the image was captured, the embryo/fetus was shaped a bit like a shrimp. Now the baby should be about 4 inches long and has fingers, toes, fully functioning ears, fingernails, and lots of other neat little body parts. Today we heard the baby’s heart beating for the first time. Well, sort of. I (Andrew) thought it was hard to hear, but the doctor assured us it was there. And Lisa heard it.

Lisa is at 12 weeks today and just about to start showing. She has been doing well, with only a few minor aches attending the process. At this point, all signs indicate a normal, healthy baby. Please join me in praying for the mother and the child as we all grow.

Excited,
Andrew and Lisa

  2. What a beautiful baby! I think the baby takes after his Grandpa Shinn! I can see that already!! What a blessed baby to be born into your precious family.

  3. P.S. to my first comment: I did not mean to say “his.” I meant to keep that statement generic! Andrew, say, “Grandpa Shinn and think of your dad. That is something, isn’t it?

  4. What a beautiful baby!! I am going to be a great aunt – actually a fabulous one – haha

    Congratulations! I just got back from South Africa and was catching up on e-mails and blogs and thought I’d check the Shinn blog out and was pleasantly surprised to read about the news!

    I take it you’ve heard the Henck news? You probably have but by the end of the month, I will also be an official California resident 🙂 The folks are driving/moving out at the end of June!

    Anyways, you’ll have to check my blog out…I’m starting to get some photos and thoughts up from the trip. Hope you both are well! Talk to you soon…
