Another Ultrasound

Click on the pictures to enlarge them. These are from the 17th of January. We only have a couple more months left. I hope you enjoy the pics. Check out the video below as well.

A Long Time...

Kelly is using the ancient Mayan Stairmaster to lose some weight.

In Mexico, Dzibilchaltun Mayan Ruins.

This is on the cruse from New Orleans to Mexico.

This was our little girl at 20 weeks. Janice is about 7 months pregnant now.

We will have another 4d ultrasound this coming Thursday.

My Dad visited us in December, and we had a GREAT time.

Sorry it has been so long since our last post. The baby (a girl) and Janice are both staying healthy. Here are some pictures.

2nd Appointment

We had our second doctor's appointment, and it happened very quickly. We were able to hear the baby's heartbeat, which was nice.

Our Alternator in our '05 Ford Focus went out. The axle had to be removed to reach it in this model. It took them a long time to do so. When the alternator was replaced with the one I bought that was rebuilt, it stopped working as the car was being driven back to Janice. They claimed the alternator was a lemon. The man I bought the part from claims that the mechanic just wants me to buy a new one, which for the Ford Focus is $400!

Now they are fighting it out. We had to rent a Corolla for a couple days. We rode the motorcycle for a couple days at first, but I didn't feel very comfortable with Janice being on the back. I was always afraid I would have a blowout or something. So, we rented a car. I'm still waiting on the car, and we're praying that we'll be able to afford it!

Our First Ultrasound

We went a couple weeks ago for our first ultrasound and found out that the due date is April 6th, which is very close to my dad's b-day (9th). The Baby's heartbeat was 176 beats/minute. It was really neat, and we really enjoyed the visit.

I was very touched at the moment I saw that little teeny tiny thing. 1.8 cm...it was amazing. At the same time, I was happy I didn't see two of them in there. Kelly and I pray for this little one very often that he/she will be a healthy little baby. It was very awesome to listen to the heartbeat.

Waiting for the Doctor

Caption: "These are the ultrasound technicians who incorrectly told you you'd be having a girl. Grace has offered to re-wallpaper your nursery and Brenda will return any gender-specific gifts that you received."

Janice and I are still waiting for a second doctor's appointment with an O.B. doctor. Because of our HMO, we have to be referred from our primary care physician to a specialized doctor. The doctor's office told us that the O.B. doctor will call us for an appointment. When we didn't get a call for a while, we called the Primary Care office again to make sure they had referred us. They told us that they did and not to call the O.B. doctor, saying the office would contact us. It almost sounds like a bad job interview doesn't it? Anyway, here in a moment I'm going to call the O.B. doctor.

Sleepy & Grumpy

Well, last week was not a fun week for me or Kelly. I was usually energetic at school until about 12 o’clock, and my body started winding down. When I got home I could do nothing but sleep and usually had about a 2-3 hour nap. I got up for about 2 hours, and went to bed again. My schedule was messed up. I was not very perky most of the time. One day I told Kelly that I wished the kid would just grow in a few weeks and get out of my body. Kelly told me “Janice, well I think that’s unrealistic”. Of course I was being unrealistic; I was just grumpy because of the changes in my body. This child is already helping me to understand some effects of personally being an only child. I was very independent and didn’t compromise much. Now it (the baby) is coming along, and I have to “compromise” to make sure it is growing healthy in my body. Kelly has been a very loving husband, and I’m hoping for a better next week.

The guy in the picture is my "new boyfriend". When walked with my dad when I was in high school/college, many passersby would think and express verbally that my dad was "my boyfriend".
