3-D Surprise!

We got a nice surprise at the last ultrasound - a couple of 3-D images of the little one! We got a good report and he looks well and healthy.



Christmas 07 & Nursery Pics

Christmas07BlogAlbum

Here are some pics of things the baby got for Christmas as well as a progression of nursery pics (click on the image above for the entire album). The "theme" is located near the end. Also, check out the nifty cat gate idea that Bill came up with in the doorway. It is made out of the old crib rail set. Works pretty good so far!

You're squishing my liver!

So I've been a little busy preparing my freelance portfolio for online display and looking for work... I finally found a moment to put up a new post.

Things have started getting a little uncomfortable lately. The belly definitely isn't getting any smaller and my organs are beginning to run out of space! Most of the time, when sitting normally, I have this tingly feeling at the top of my rib cage. I've been told it's more than likely my liver. I have a long way to go yet folks! Some of my other non-enjoyable treasures of pregnancy are my achy back, weighted belly and...well, everything in between. I certainly have my limits as to how much I can do at once these days.

The little guy has been on the move lately. I can actually see the kicks now when I look at my belly. That's a pretty neat experience. Bill finally "snuck up on him" the other day and felt him move. Usually he's perfectly still when he senses Bill's presence, but I think his shyness is wearing off.

We racked up on some clothing deals for the little tike at the mall in Boone a couple of weekends back. We went up that way to get our trees (one for Marcia and Alan) and a short overnight getaway. When you find a bargain of Arizona baby jeans for 3.99 ea., you buy 2 of each size! Well, at least what they had available on the rack. I don't feel so bad now that I know he'll have something to wear!

I've been told I have to hurry up and make a decision on the nursery theme so someone can begin painting. That's actually a tough decision to make!

We've got a pretty busy schedule coming up, so bear with me through the next couple of weeks. Let's see, we're touring Tanglewood Gardens with Bill's boss to see their spectacular Christmas lights, celebrating our anniversary at a new venue at the Grove Park Inn (our participation will be inexpensive), then there's Christmas at the Quade's, my parents, my Aunt's in TN, and throw in a dr visit...that will easily take us into 2008! :)

Merry Christmas Everyone!

oh, btw...I broke our camera, so bear with us until we can get some more pics posted. Unfortunately, it wasn't repairable under our warranty. :(
