Happy Anniversary
August 25th, 2007 was a hot and humid day in Rye, NH. The ocean provided a beautiful backdrop for our ceremony and we danced the night away under a tent in the Sonneborn's backyard. Happy 4 year anniversary, here's to many, many, many more!
Baby Sonny's First Photos!
At the first ultrasound appointment, it was such a pleasure and a relief to see the baby literally come to life on the ultrasound screen. I got to see Baby Sonny's head, body, and little chubby arms and legs. The most exciting part was seeing and hearing Sonny's heartbeat. It was love at first sight (and sound)!
View from the top. Baby's head is on the right, body on the left. You can see a little arm bud at the top near the face and a leg bud towards the left
Sonny might look a little bit like a gummy bear here. Head towards the top and legs at the bottom. At this point, Baby Sonny is roughly the size of a prune.
Jeff's White Coat Ceremony
On August 12th, St. Joseph College School of Pharmacy had it's inaugural White Coat Ceremony. Suzanne, Judy, Grandma Joyce, my mom, and myself joined Jeff and his classmates for the ceremony. It was held in the Bruyette Athenaeum on St. Joseph's main campus in West Hartford, CT. The best part of the ceremony was when one of the professors, who was sitting one row in front of us, commented to another professor how wonderful she thought Jeff was. Judy piped up right away and said, "He's my nephew!" The professor immediately turned around and said that she had interviewed Jeff, thought he was an intelligent and thoughtful person and immediately knew he would be a success in their program. Baby Sonny and I are already so proud of Jeff!
First OB appointment
Jeff and I went for our first OB appointment on August 11th. I got to ask lots of questions, like what types of cheeses can I still eat? Can I still go to Zumba? When will we get to see the baby on ultrasound?!?! The Obstetrician talked to me about diet, exercise, work, and general life during pregnancy. It was a very informative appointment for both of us.
Baby Sonny is officially due March 14th, 2012!
The appointment went off with out a hitch, but no ultrasound that day :(

Discovering we were pregnant
It was an exciting day in Rye, New Hampshire! The Sonneborn family had gathered to celebrate Brian's 24th Birthday on Sunday July 10th. The night before I had half a glass of wine (eek!) and felt funny, like the wine wasn't agreeing with me. I figured it was too early that month but I asked Jeff to buy a pregnancy test for me anyways. While he was out playing mini-golf with the boys, I had my first positive pregnancy test! Suzanne and Hannah were home and I ran downstairs crying, I was so excited. Through my tears of joy I was unable to speak, so the only thing I could do was show the positive pregnancy test. I think I really surprised Suzanne, she already knew she had a pregnant daughter and now she had a pregnant daughter-in-law as well. Both Suzanne and Hannah joined me in my excitement while we waited for the boys to return from golf.
Lucky for me when the boys returned Jeff wanted to change and headed upstairs. I followed him and again was too emotional to speak, so I showed him the positive test. He was shocked and elated. We decided to share the news only with our immediate families for now. Suzanne and Henry were overjoyed at having 2 grandchildren in the near future. Jeff and I told my parents when we arrived home to CT. My parents were speechless. They sat immobile for a few seconds with gaping mouths. Once they were able to digest this information, they became really excited; they can't wait to be grandparents as well.
Baby Sonneborn (or Baby Sonny) is already loved by such warm and welcoming families on both sides. He or she is a lucky baby!
