It’s a GIRL!!!!!!! We are so excited! WE STILL do not have our computer up at home, but we do have some ultrasound pictures to post. I will try to do that this week before Ben and I head to Az for a wedding. Our little baby girl was not interested in showing her face at all yesterday, only her backside. Thus our ultrasound pictures are not pictures of her cute profile, but more her hands and toes. The ultrasound tech did show Ben and I the screen—and we could tell without her help that the baby is a girl. It was plain as day. We didn’t get much other news than that because I don’t meet with the doctor for the “results” of the ultrasound until Oct. 7th. At that appointment the doctor is going to go over the ultrasound with us as well as evaluate her development. Sarah—So sorry to keep you all waiting! I left me cell phone at home today or I would call you right now.

These pictures were taken with my cell phone—big change from my last picture. Obviously, everyone here knows I am pg. Ben and I have been working really hard at the new house. All the moving dust has really stirred up our allergies. Poor Ben has them really, really badly, but he keeps working hard. Poor guy. This weekend he is taking out some old carpet and painting. I am hoping that by the end of October he can actual have some time to lay (lie?) around and rest. Between all the work he did on the Sacramento house, moving and the work on the Davis house, he doesn’t get any play/rest time.

Big change from the last picutre!

Correction- last post I wrote I am 17 weeks, but really I am 18 weeks, which is 5 months. Sorry for the confusion. Things have been very hectic around here, and I got confused.. We are moved…………………………… we are not unpacked. The house we moved into was still occupied at 5 :30 p.m. Sunday evening. We were supposed to be moving in all weekend, but you can tell things did not go as planned. More escrow drama-it is never ending. But I anticipate that this will be over soon, since escrow closed yesterday. However, the paperwork is not signed (but the county recorded the sale). By this time tomorrow I think this should be resolved. MMMMM. It was a hectic weekend. I really need to post a picture. I definitely look very pregnant!

Eek. I am not sure what is going on with my lame blog acct--- but I don't have an option to post a picture:(

It has been busy around here! We are moving out this weekend. Lots of last minute stuff going on. Ben and I both took tomorrow off, and then we have our crew (friends) over Sat and Sun to help move. SO—we are expecting that escrow will close on September 21, 2009! Yea! I am attaching a blurry picture—sorry. I didn’t look at it before I loaded it to the computer. I am feeling pretty good. I still get tired easily, but I actually feel more energetic today. Saturday I am 17 weeks, which is four and a half months pregnant. I can’t feel the baby move yet, but I probably should within the next couple weeks. My books says that I will feel “random aches and pains as the uterus grows” and I do feel that--the last few days especially. The baby is approximately the size of a baked potato (crown to rump, crown to toe is longer), and is expected to gain six times its weight in the next month! The second trimester lasts through week 26, which will be around Thanksgiving for us. Well, hop...

Happy 3-day weekend. We have been very busy. A quick re-cap of the weekend : basically Ben worked on the house every single moment of the weekend and I tried to keep up with cleaning (working on the house is very messy). I did sneak off to the mall and buy 2 pairs of maternity pants ( I love stretchy panels). We are still on very shaky ground with the sale of the house. The buyers have not been keeping up with their paperwork and so far they have signed nothing and have obligated themselves to nothing. Our realtor is writing a “request to perform”, once they receive this request they will have only 24 hours to catch up on their paperwork. If they don’t we have the option of canceling the contract. We are in day 16 of a 30 day escrow and they should have signed several documents by now. Additionally Ben and I need to know if we are moving in two weeks or not. I will keep you posted. I had an OB appt last week. Pretty standard stuff. I did hear the baby’s heartbeat. The doctor sa...
