Look out...

My belly is really starting to grow now, and I can't seem to eat enough! :-) We have just begun with the nursery projects, the baby's closet was re-designed and new doors should be coming in the next few weeks. Then we'll paint the room. We're going with a black & white theme in retro/vintage patterns. Then once the baby arrives, we'll add colors accordingly. (ie, aqua blue, raspberry, tangerine, grape, green apple, and yellows) We just made our first "large" baby purchase... the infant car seat. :-) The black & white pattern I like is discontinued, so I might start buying things I want in this look!

Summer Pics

I forgot to post a few pictures from this summer...

Her favorite animal at the San Diego Zoo


The Langurs at the Zoo




At the Lake

20 week pics!

Today we had our half way there ultrasound! We told the doctor that we don't want to know the sex of the baby, so we still don't know for sure what it is... I have the feeling it's a boy, and Darren is starting to think the same thing. During our ultrasound, the doctor measured the circumference of the head, the brain, the cerebellum, the heart angle and position, the abdomen, the femur. She said that everything is measuring exactly where it should be, and she did say she saw the sex of the baby, though Darren and I still don't know. We can only guess and wait and see... :-) Let us know what you think on the right!

Alaska

Here are a few of my favorite pics from Alaska... there are so many and it was so hard to narrow it down to these few... what a great trip! How beautiful it was!
We went rafting in front of a glacier, then down a river with rapids, a little nervous i got at times ;-)

who knew the glaciers are blue???



















Never mind we were up at 6:30am to see these gorgeous glaciers as we cruised by... by what a sight! it was well worth rolling out of bed to see! hence the sleepy-head looks we have :-)

Darren participated in the ship's ping pong tournament almost every morning... it was pretty funny to watch all of the "pro ping-pongers" go for the gold every chance they had :-)

Husband turned into a paparazzo every now and then, i figure i shall give him credit when credit is due!... these last two are for him :-) his "great pictures"

almost halfway there!

we just got back from our alaskan cruise which was so beautiful (pictures to come), and i am feeling like between the food (24 hours a day) and a few extra weeks worth of baby growing, my belly is getting more 'round'. it may be hard to tell in the picture, but i feel like the top part of my stomach (aka, right under my chest) is also starting to fill out. i might be what they call soft, but it is already difficult to get a good night's sleep! i feel like i toss and turn all night, every night... and i still have 20 weeks to go, yikes!
