New Camera!!!

We FINALLY got a new camera. We got the new Nikon Coolpix L120 in bronze. We decided to not go the DSLR route which is originally what I thought I wanted. But I figured that if I really wasn't going to make photography a hobby of mine then we probably shouldn't invest that kind of money. So we decided on this point and shoot because it has a little bit more functionality and a good zoom. I'm still learning about the settings and how to use it, but so far it's been fun!

The camera came on Friday evening. Phillip and I found the box on our porch after we came home from a date of Sarah Vowell, Henrietta's Table and L.A. Burdick Hot Chocolate. (As a side note, if you're ever in the Harvard Square area you should definitely hit up L.A. Burdick. Their white hot chocolate was so heavenly! I told Phil that we would have to stop in again before the weather starts getting too warm.) 

Anyway, here are some of the first photos we took with the camera. 

Phillip drinking his dark hot chocolate

I look strange in this one...but here's my face after finishing my delicious cup of white hot chocolate! (sorry for the extreme close-up)

Here is said cup of white hot chocolate.

Oh and this is the camera strap cover I made last night because I was feeling crafty! I will try and get a better picture of it...

Here it is taken with my trusty computer. 

We're both really glad we got this camera BEFORE the baby boy comes....this will be sitting right next to the hospital bag!

Our first diapers!

We got some free samples of diapers in the mail yesterday. Oh the perks of parenthood! Aren't they so tiny? I really can't believe his bum is going to be so tiny...well, for a little while anyway.

Oh and in other related news...we had an ultrasound today...and our baby boy is healthy! We had a follow-up ultrasound because in our 19 week ultrasound the size of his kidneys were a little larger than normal so they wanted to just make sure everything was back to normal. (Phillip is currently trying to scan the pictures we got...so if that is successful then I will post a pic here in a sec).  It was interesting seeing him so much more developed! He measured right on track for growth at 2 lbs 14 oz. 

Ok so the scanner didn't work...here are some pictures of the sonogram...

Here's his profile 

and here's a shot straight on! It's so fun to see his little face.

After the sonogram we celebrated and went to the S&S restaurant in Inman Square. I figured he deserved a little french toast for being such a healthy boy!
