Calleigh Update

We went to the doctor this morning. Everything is perfect. Calleigh's heartbeat is nice and strong. Our doctor talked to us about Preterm Labor. Since I am now 25 weeks pregnant if I were to go into labor she would have a about a 70% chance of survival. It increases to about 85% by week 27. We will just keep her in there until she is all done! Still sinking in that I have this little baby growing and dancing around in my tummy. She is a very active girl. Ben and I think she is practicing soccer kicks only she is using my bladder as a ball. LOL We have an ultrasound scheduled for November 10th. The last one they did they couldn't get a clear picture of her heart because...she was moving too much!

Here is a picture of my ever growing belly.

I look like a big red balloon today! 99 days to go!

Ben

What can I say about Ben. I am a pretty lucky girl. Anyone who knows Ben understands what I am talking about. He is always so loving and supportive no matter what! He can make me laugh even when he is the one who made me mad. We spend a lot and I mean A LOT of time together. Not only do we work together but now we share an office. You would think that we would get sick of each other. Somehow it works. We don't have some little secret or system. We just work. He gets me.

This morning we were going over general ledgers. Debiting and crediting away. I of course get frustrated very easily. We fixed all the problems and I moved on to do something else. Ben says "oh I have one more journal entry for you." Since I was in the middle of something I pick up the paper and set it aside and say I will do it later. But then I realize I should just do it now. So here is the journal entry he gave me.
Thanks for always making my day Benny! I Love you more today then yesterday...but not as much as I will tomorrow!

Wedding Pictures

We love and miss you Grams!

Ho bought me a house plant!

So tonight my old friend Ho came to visit from Kirkland. He brought Ben a nice case of beer and me a pretty house plant. We decided to take him to Cedars for some dinner. Before we left I made sure to pick up the case of beer and the bag of presents full of tissue paper but I didn't think about the plant. So imagine what came out of my mouth when I walked in the house and saw this!

Oh Phoebe strikes again! So I started looking and noticed that the leaves were chewed and so were some flowers. PANIC! I looked up Cyclamen on the internet and freaked out some more when I saw that it is deadly to dogs. So I call my vet, they tell me to call poison control. Poison control tells me that it should only make her vomit and have diarrhea. Give her food and make her drink water and don't let her run around. But if it gets worse to take her to the vet. So now instead of sitting here being mad at her for ruining a great plant I am sitting here watching her down some food hoping she didn't eat too much Cyclamen. She is totally preparing me for Calleigh!

First Blog

So as most of you know Ben and I are expecting Calleigh in February. As of today I am 24 weeks and 4 days. 109 days to go....but who's counting! She is a very active little girl and her kicks and punches are getting stronger everyday. I am feeling pretty good at this point. Seems this is the best time of my pregnancy. All the sickness and fatigue are gone. Now I am just starting to get the aches and pains. I will post some belly pics as soon as I build up enough courage! As you can see Scooby is all ready to have another little one around. He is just keeping her car seat warm!
