7 lbs., 1 oz.

20 1/2 inches

14 days to go!

Well, we're only 14 days away from our due date now - cRaZy! We went in for our 38 week check-up yesterday. Adelaide is around 7 lbs 4 oz now and is doing well. The doctor said I'm dilated to a tight "one", not much progress since last week but I'm okay with that. I go back for my next check-up on Thursday, 04/08/10. :)

Only 3 weeks to go! :)

We are officially down to 3 weeks until our due date! I can't believe how fast time has gone by. I'm excited and scared to death. I'll keep you posted! :)

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! :)

"Princess Kobe" and "Pimpcess Kali"

Amber sent me a pix message with these pictures a few weeks ago. They are too funny so I had to post them! I think everyone will get a kick out of them...


I'm not really sure how she convinced him to do this, but Kali talked Kobe into dressing up in one of her princess outfits. I'm saving this picture to embarrass Kobe with later! He'll laugh about it someday!


A pretty, pretty princess and his "pimpcess" sister! Another keeper! These two are too funny!

Our "kids": Daisy, Moofis, & Emma!

Daisy & Moofis are the only "kids" we have so I had to post pictures of them. Daisy (aka: Suella) is a boxer, she is almost "5", and Moofis (aka: Pete) is an English Mastiff, he's going on "3". I LOVE 'em and don't know what I'd do without them!


Our Pug "niece" Emma (aka: Emma Woo), is living with us, she is almost "1". She's "riding" Kali's bike in this picture - it was Kobe's idea and she sat there by herself for a while. Too cute!

Happy Birthday Nick!

Nick is 28! We are getting old!

Tearing out the bushes!

Last Friday, 09/26/08, Amber, Kobe, Kali, and my Mom came over to help me get rid of some of the bushes in my front yard.

I've never liked the bushes and have wanted to get rid of them for as long as I can remember. We finally just went for it! We worked until dark and got two of the bushes down to the roots.

The kids seemed to have a lot of fun helping! Kobe worked really hard and got super excited when he'd get a big piece - it was cute to see! Kali was my little helper and helped me make Mac & Cheese for everybody - she made a cute little waitress and took all the drink "orders".

Saturday morning, I demolished a third bush. My Mom and Amber came over and helped me load everything into my Dad's truck. We took three really big loads to the green dumps to be recycled.

We still need to get someone to come help pull the roots out of the ground but I'm excited to have those bushes gone! Three down, two to go! Planting flowers next year will be fun, you'll actually be able to see them!

Thank you Kobe, Kali, Mom and Amber for all your help, I couldn't have done it without you! Thank you Dad for letting me borrow your truck, yet again!
