    Well, I had time to get a few pictures off of the camera today. There’s one Chris took of my belly on the 1st – just starting to show!!! Chris’ dad arrived today to visit us for the weekend (drove here all the way from Texas in 34 hours without stopping). It will be a…

    On Tuesday night, our amazing and funny baby-dog was hit by a car and on Wednesday, he left us, missing him forever. Wonderful Auntie Maliko wrote a eulogy for him, as only she could, and because, like the good friend she is, she probably knew I couldn’t. Puck: October 15, 2005 to February 25, 2009…

    I had a great appointment this morning with Margi, a certified nurse midwife in Rhinebeck. She’s very friendly and personable, and made me feel comfortable from the moment she walked in the room – plus the birth center she works with is supposed to be one of the best in the area and will give…

    Remember the disposable cameras that were on each table at our wedding? Well, when we went home for Christmas, my mom gave the pictures to us, and we finally got to look at them only about a year-and-a-half later… There were some good pictures in there, like this one of us and Laura & Chris.…

    We have a date! Estimated due date = August 24th. I had my first ultrasound today and got to see the tiny peanut of a baby, heart beat and all. The tech said that I’m exactly 8 weeks, and the heartbeat was racing along at 168 beats per minute. Chris and I are excited to…
