Oh, and his/her name is not really Hermoine...unless you ask Patrick. "You can call it whatever you want to, but I will always call the baby Hermoine." Fair enough.
The family. We are a little band of characters trudging through life, sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that binds us all together.

Meet Hermoine
Meet our baby. If we're friends on Facebook (and there is a good chance we are), you have already seen this. If you're someone with a medical background or just a general interest in anatomy or fetal development, you may understand that this is more than just a somewhat boring ultrasound video of a sleeping baby with hiccups. It's our baby's heart! All four chambers, the foramen ovale, and even the shadow of an aortic arch. It's beautiful. Our baby has a beautiful heart. It's also fortunate enough to have a nice little profile, too. (I added a still of that for you. Or for me. It's super-cute, says its mother.)
