Baby Update!

We had our 2nd appointment today and everything is good. The doctor couldn't pick up the baby's heart beat on the little sound thing so they squeezed us in for an ultrasound.

The baby is absolutely perfect! We could see its ear and nose and arms and legs. It was laying on its back with one leg kicked up and 1 arm up by its face. I think it was mimicking how I sleep! I feel bad for sleeping on my stomach now. I hope I'm not crushing the baby! Ugh...guess I need to learn to sleep on my back!

It's amazing how it went from a little blob to a baby in only 4 weeks! The baby's heart beat was beating at 162 beats per minute.

Our next appointment is Oct 21. Our next ultrasound is in 2 months (at 20 weeks) and that should be when we find out if it's a boy or a girl.

It still hasn't sunk in that we're expecting! I had about a 1/2 second moment of clarity last night and realized I'm pregnant. Then the moment passed and I was back to "the lazy girl on the couch".

Our New Door!

We took some of the $$ we made from our big ol' garage sale last weekend and bought a new storm door for the front of our house!

Our house looked kinda sad and uninviting before:


Handyman Alec did an excellent job installing just before Hurricane Ike made his way to town!


Now our house looks more welcoming!


Alec also updated our doorbell to match our new storm door.


The furkids love the new door too!

Introducing Grape Davis!

Our baby is the size of a grape today. I'm not sure what kind of grape - just a grape that's almost an inch long! And to think - just last week it was a bean!

When we had our ultrasound last week, we saw the baby's heart beating and it was beating so fast - 155 beats per minute! It's like the baby was super excited to finally see us!

Here's the baby looking somewhat like a bat:

I've been indulging in hot fudge sundaes and naps that last between 2 and 5 hours. I always wondered what it would be like to be lazy. Now I know!

Alec is tolerating my random acts of raging hormones. After I bite his head off, I promptly give it back. We have an understanding.

Next week our little grape will turn into a kumquat. They grow up so fast...
