Baby doctor's appt.

My wife had an ultrasound yesterday, and I got to tag along for this one. We have a healthy baby girl on the way! I am soo estatic, and relieved that we've been given the 'all-clear'. Miss Hope Elizabeth Peterson will make her debut next April sometime.

Also, I'm participating in the art auction to help raise money for the site re-vamp. I'm contributing a sketch of Batman and Daredevil. Check out Batmankm's blog for more details.

You can view the pic here which is on 14x17 bristol sketch paper and done in pencil.

Hope everyone enjoys their weekend!

Laid off

So, my pregnant wife got laid off today. So did a bunch of other people that work at her company. The scary thing is she was the one that had the benefits.

Good times... good times.

Ultrasound

My Wife had her first Ultrasound yesterday. The doctor said everything looks just great! The baby was flipping around, kicking it's legs, and at one point, even got the hiccups. What an amazing experience. Looking at those pictures really drives it home for me... I'm going to be a DAD! In a few more weeks, Michelle will go back and have some testing done to test for genetic issues, but we're confident all is going to be ok. Still too early to tell if we're going to have a boy or a gir, and I really don't care either way.

Oh, and Death Magnetic ROCKS.

baby news and some metal.

So to elaborate on my earlier blog, My wife and I are going to have a baby. We've debated on this subject for quite some time, and decided to just 'go for it'. We're a little past the 'normal' baby-having age range -I'm 37, she's 40..

We prayed on it and asked if it was only God's will, to grant us a child. Three weeks later BOOM! Preggars. This was after tyring previously for around 4 months or so. I'm nervous, happy, scared, and thrilled all at the same time! My wife goes to the Doctor's on 9/15 to check for a heartbeat, and to see if all is well.

Names have been decided upon already. If' we have a boy the name is going to be Mason Andrew Peterson, and if it's a girl Hope Elizabeth Peterson.

I will be sure to post the results from the Doctor's appt. when we know.

Also as indicated in my blog title, is some New Metallica info in the form of the first 30 seconds of all of Metallica's new songs from Death Magnetic! The track listing is below the clip so you know what you are listening to. It's gonna be Awesome!

Batman Sketch

Drew up this pic of Batman today.

Here is a closer shot:

I think his left arm (our right) is a bit on the short side. Ah well...

On another note, I received a replacement disc drive for my laptop, so I can re-install my tablet software and get back to doodling in PS.

Thanks for lookin' and have a great weekend everyone!
