Our Adoable Baby ...

This is one of my favorite pictures of Sgt. Major. Since moving to the new house and discovering that the windows are actually at his viewing level, he has found this to be a favorite spot. He watches for Daddy's truck in the afternoon and get all excited and starts "dancing" when he sees him pull up in front. If George takes too much time getting to the door, Sgt. Major will start barking for him to hurry up. Its really funny to watch. Sometimes he even lets Daddy join him at the window ... on this night they were watching the storm roll in.



Until our next cup of tea ...

"Do Those Diapers Come in Adult Sizes???"

Sorry I've been away for a while, things here are pretty hectic. This weekend George and I were talking about the whole birthing pat of it since I'd been watching another episode of A Baby Story. I mentioned that I was worried that my water would break in a public place or something. He said he thought that the doctor did that. When I told him that it could happen anywhere, even when I'm sleeping he said, "Eww, I don't want your water all over me!" His creative solution was that I would wear adult diapers my last month and a half! God love him, but I am so happy he's not the one who is pregnant!

Until our next cup of tea ...

A Pictures Worth a Thousand Words ...

Editor's Note: I promise not to make my blog completely about baby stuff, but I wanted to shared some updated photos and the monthly update.



Wow! What a busy month this has been. From learning that we were expecting at the beginning of the month to seeing the baby and hearing its heartbeat for the first time, the days seem to have flown by. Every day has been a new adventure. Two weeks ago the onset of morning sickness, which apparently last all day, set in and that was a bumpy ride until the doctors prescribed something for the nausea. That was the second happiest day of the month!

On Thursday (july 2) we had the appointment for our first ultrasound and it was a great experience. George was able to attend the appointment so he too was able to be there to hear the heartbeat.

I have been working with a personal trainer and nutritionist and while losing weight, my baby bump seems to be growing like a weed! Already in maternity clothes I am learning to work around my growing belly. Sgt. Major is trying hard to find room on my lap for naps, but it won't be long before he will have to find a new way to "nap with mommy". He is still able to sleep comfortabley at night, now choosing to sleep with his head on his Mommy's hip and his chest against the baby. Maybe this is just his way of trying to bond with the baby! His heartbeat tends to lull me to sleep, so it's a win-win situation for all. Sgt Major has definately noticed something going on and it a little more clingy thatn usual.

Trying to find foods that the baby approves of is also a constant rollercoaster. While fruits and veggies were the cravings of last week, this week they tend to give me nausea in even the smallest amounts. The baby seems to like BBQ however (even though the BBQ here in Ga. has not come close to calming my craving for Rooster's chopped beef BBQ in Baytown!) Mexican food is a hit or miss, depending on the item, but my favorite, cheese enchilladas seem to have won the baby's approval ... for now.

George is very excited and wants the baby "now!" He enjoys walking around baby stores and is trying to figure out at what age he can sign the baby up for sports! He and Sgt. Major are starting to spend more time together while I rest in the afternoons, so the puppy is enjoying the extra attention.
