It's a girl! :)

We went in for our "target ultrasound" this week - Monday, 12/07/09. We were finally able to get a good view and confirm that we're having a girl! I'm excited to finally be able to pick stuff out! She is healthy and on target for our April 13th due date. She weighs about 1 lb., 1 oz. and is about 6 1/2 inches from crown to rump right now. We got a glimpse of her little profile and she's a cutie! :) Nick and I haven't agreed on any names yet but we'll get there. I'm so excited for this adventure! :)

We're having a baby!

Everyone probably knows this by now but I still need to post it - We're having a baby!

We went in for our 16 week check-up on October 27th. I was really hoping to find out the baby's sex but the baby didn't want to be found out just yet. Dr. Johansson tried to get the baby to move to get a better view, but no, he or she crossed his or her little legs! Dr. Johansson is thinking the baby is a "very modest girl". Hopefully we'll get a definite answer at our next check-up, on November 23rd.

Nick has thought the baby is a girl all along. I don't care either way, I just want a happy, healthy baby.:)

If I can figure out how, I'll post the video of the baby's most recent ultrasound.

Better late than never? ...our trip to Seattle

Nick and I went to Seattle for our anniversary in June. We could only stay for 3 days so Nick didn't have to miss any work. We visited the Seattle Aquarium,the Pier, Pike Place Market, the Space Needle, and the Woodland Park Zoo. I wish we'd been able to spend more time there, there are a lot of things we didnt' have time to see...

Nick measuring up to a Sixgill Shark. I wouldn't want to run into one of these in the ocean!











This is the octopus they had on display. It was huge!

Apparently the octopus didn't like me too much because it splayed all it's tenticles out and changed colors when I got too close to the tank. It was really cool!


We went on a walking "Haunted Seattle Tour". Nothing spooky happened but it was still fun.


I can't remember what this sculpture is called - and Nick isn't here to ask right now... This marks the spot where Chief Seattle's daughter, Princess Angeline, said the spirit world and our world meet.


This is the famous gum wall in Seattle. We passed by here on the ghost tour. It was kinda gross, but interesting.


These pictures were taken from the top of the Space Needle. We didn't go to the outdoor observation deck - because I'm not so fond of heights. We had lunch at the Sky City Restaurant, it was expensive but circling around (the restaurant rotates) was neat.










I wish we had been able to stay longer and see more sights. Maybe we'll get to go back and spend more time some day, we'll just plan things a little better... :)

I'm not so good at blogging...

So, I'm not so good at blogging... I'm really going to try to do this more regularly though. Lots has been/is/will be going on for us so I should have plenty to blog about. I'm going to try to post some new stuff this weekend. Wish me luck! :)

The Pet Spa...

Here are a few pictures from our visit to the "Pet Spa".




Daisy seemed to enjoy her bath a little more than Emma did but they both smell pretty!
It's Moofis' turn next!

Happy 1st Birthday Emma! (01/03/09)



Emma turned "1" yesterday! Kobe and Kali gave her a coat and a bone for her birthday. Kali picked the coat and had to get the one that matches her own coat! Emma seems to like it - she ran around outside with it on and didn't try to take it off. We took Emma and Daisy to the Pet Spa to celebrate - I'll post those pictures soon...

Happy 1st Birthday Emma! We love you! :)
