Stand up paddle board race
Someone with an e-mail prefix of jobo@harbor.. asked me to send him some pictures of the paddle board race I was photographing on Saturday at Boulevard Park. But I must have not remembered his e-mail correctly. Anyway, here are some of those pictures:

Rory Alexander Lucero Ferris
Rory Alexander Lucero Ferris will be born (with any luck) on September 9th at UW Medical Center in Seattle and possibly transferred immediately to their neo-natal clinic upon birth. Yesterday, we had our *ninth* ultrasound. Carol will go in for one more amnio on September 8th and if the lungs are ready, Rory will entrance this world nearly on his 38th week.
We could use all of your good wishes and prayers until then.
Rory *may* have an almost always fatal condition known as non-immune hydropsy. However, he stubbornly refuses to show any of the "full blown" signs of this condition. The signs he does show are not enough for the doctors to understand exactly what is going on, even after *nine* ultrasounds! In any event, he is estimated to be 7lbs 9 oz as of yesterday. (Of course, I tell all our doctors about the size of my family :-)...). On Carol's small frame, you can just imagine....
Rory is very active in the womb, engages in fetal breathing, is sucking on his fingers (we actually saw this yesterday - such a *hungry Ferris* already!) and responds both to my voice and Isabel's voice. I have told him what we have waiting for him in our house of joy and family: a new crib, endless adoring relatives, multiple Sony Vaios, organic carrots from the garden, endless amounts of toys, and a beautiful community (Bellingham, WA) and neighborhood (Columbia) to grow up in!
Hope to see you soon on the other side, big guy!
