Past the Halfway Point

For anyone still kind enough to check the site here (finally!) is another posting. I promise for a more concerted effort in the upcoming weeks and months.

Last week with hit the halfway mark in our pregnancy and today officially marks 21 weeks, we're more than halfway done. Per the internet she should be about 10 1/2 inches long, WOW! I do believe I'm feeling little kicks and flutters, but it's on a rather inconsistent basis. It's amazing! I have taken 1 belly pic but after viewing it I determined that no one besides Steve and I would ever see it. Sorry Jaclyn! So here is a really cool pic I found via the internet.

What else is new? Not really that much. Hockey season (both professional and UD Men's League) is on the horizon and I'm busy being pregnant and working.

I have a piece of advice for all of you tonight: Call your mother and tell her how much you love her. You never know when she might suddenly be taken away from you. Deepest sympathies to you my dearest Joelle...

It's a...

Ok, so I really stink at writing on a regular basis. My apologies.

We had our second ultrasound this past Saturday morning. The first one we had done @ 10 weeks didn't look nearly as much like a baby. I've posted my favorite of 3 pics the tech gave us to bring home. If you want to see any of the others just shoot me an e-mail. I just think it's awesome that you can see it's ribs and spine in this pic and it's waving hello!

So, I keep referring to it as it...and for those of you who haven't already heard we're pretty sure we know what gender it is. After searching long and hard for any sign of a penis the tech gave us her best, experiential opinion...it's a girl! Now, what to name her? Oh wait...I forgot we have a name picked out but most of you don't know what it is...hehe. Please feel free to leave your best guesses in the comments section...if you already know please keep it to yourselves...for now.

Tuttles-Have fun in Ireland!! Drink some good beer for me.

Time to get back to listening to online research lectures...fun.

Catching Up

Wow, I've gotten behind a little bit. Oops! It just couldn't be helped...this weekend was a whirlwind of excitement and wedding activities and lack of internet access. I could've posted yesterday but...meh.

Andy & Val's wedding was spectacular! It showed ours up good. The whole experience almost seemed surreal. I'm a bad bridesmaid and I have no actual pics of the bride and groom or even the bride in her wedding dress. I was to busy enjoying myself to take too many pictures and hey that's what they paid the photographer for. Look, yummy cake. Andy & Val had a wonderful time and they are now spending 12 days in Greece (So jealous!).

To anyone whose looking for a hotel in Wilmington I HIGHLY recommend the Hotel DuPont. A little pricey yes...but worth it, absolutely. Our sheets were turned down every night, the radio was on playing soft music, and the next days weather was printed out for you. The bathroom was...well there are no words. I wanted to take it home with me. They had a freakin' bath menu...a bath menu! The customer service was impeccable and even the security guys were very nice when I went to pick up my purse that my pregnant brain forgot and left in the hotel closet.

Well back to the real world of work, school, house cleaning, and pregnancy. I have to go view some online lectures now...and I almost forgot, the ultrasound is scheduled for Saturday morning. Cooperate baby!
