Bedding Fiasco

Yesterday, I emailed and called blissforthebaby.com to tell them that I wanted to cancel my order. I, of course, haven't heard back from anyone. I will, however, be watching my credit card statement VERY closely for a while to make sure they don't try anything.

So back to square one. I looked and looked and couldn't find anyone else that sold the lamp that went along with the collection (except for VERY expensive ones!). So I got mad and found completely new bedding! It's from the same brand and somewhat similar. The only problem is that....no one sells the bedding plus all the accessories together! I always make things hard, don't I? :o) SOOOO I had to shop at four different websites (all of whom are trusted! I learned my lesson!) so without further ado, Noah's bedding-for real this time!!

Now if you are like me, you are thinking "What the crap is that?!?" The picture is too busy and so is the comforter. I get that. But the other stuff is really cute! And I'm not really a 'whale' or 'fish' person but I think I will like this when it comes in!


I also got this mobile...


this lamp...


and this blanket.


I haven't been able to find the matching pillow that's shown in the picture below or the window valance that's in the top picture. I guess I'll be searching for those on ebay since they've been discontinued! Let me know if you see them for sale anywhere!

And even though I've had to order everything from different places AND pay shipping/handling charges at all those places, the total of it all (even plus the valance and pillow I haven't gotten yet) will still most likely come out cheaper than the original bedding I ordered! Woot Woot!

I need advice!

But first, a little somethin' somethin' for you! I put together a collage of my weekly preggo pictures from 5-20 weeks! Holy cow I've grown!



Ok now for the advice I need. I ordered Noah's bedding from blissforthebaby.com on Friday around 9pm. I've been kind of nervous from the get-go because NOBODY seemed to be selling that lamp, remember? But blissforthebaby.com was as long as you bought the bedding from them, too. So I've been watching my email making sure they didn't send me something saying that the lamp was out of stock or something.

As soon as I placed my order online (with my credit card) I received an email from the website verifying that I ordered the bedding, but it didn't say anything about when the bedding would be shipped. Saturday I called the 800-number on the website to ask them when my order would ship and I got an answering machine type message that said they were open Tuesday through Saturday 10-5pm and that I could leave a message. I didn't leave a message then. So today I've been calling them about once every 2-3 hours and I never get a person. I left a message around 10am this morning saying that I really needed someone to call me about my order....nothing. Then after lunch I sent an email to them saying that I was getting worried that they had my credit card number and I couldn't ever get in touch with anyone and to please contact me ASAP....nothing!

So I called my credit card people and they said that nothing has been charged to it. So what the crap am I supposed to do???? The info page on the website says that most orders ship within 48 hours and you will receive an email when your order ships. It's been well over 48 hours, but they were closed Saturday thru Monday too though. So I am lost. And I freakin want my baby bedding! So I don't know if I should go order it somewhere else....or wait to see what these people do....or what????

ADVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

20 weeks!!

How far along? 20 weeks-half way there!
Total weight gain/loss: Up 11 pounds since pre-pregnancy...
Maternity clothes? Exclusively
Stretch marks? Still none!
Sleep: Going just peachy, except last night when Noah decided he wanted to have a dance party at bedtime!
Best moment this week? Finding out that Noah was a boy!!
Movement: He always moves several times a day, but Sunday I looked at the clock, realized it was after 1:00pm and couldn't remember feeling him move at all that whole day. I didn't immediately panic because I had praise team that morning and had been running around like crazy all day. I figured that he must have been moving but I was just too busy to notice. So I drank some cold lemonade, shook my belly, poked my belly.....nothing. THEN I started to freak out! I called my doctor's office and had them page my doctor. Ten minutes later, Noah started to move.....hardheaded just like his Mommy!
Food cravings: Sour candy! I better ease up on the candy by my next doctor's visit when I have my glucose test!
Gender: BOY!
Labor signs: None, thankfully!
Belly button in or out? Still in, but it's only a matter of time!
What I miss: REDDDD BULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!
What I am looking forward to: Getting the nursery set up.
Weekly wisdom: When people find out the sex of your baby, they start buying him/her presents!
Milestone: Half way there!!!!!!!!!

Ok so I found Noah's bedding! Like I said before, I looked everywhere possible in town and found nothing. So this weekend, I started browsing on the internet and went to Target.com. I am REALLY picky and didn't think I would find anything but I just wanted to look anyway. On the very first 'boy bedding' page I saw it!



SUPER cute! AND the set also had a SUPER cute matching lamp...


WELL, the people that make this bedding have discontinued all the accessories except the window valance. So you can only buy the bedding and the valance. Now this may be the hormones talking, but that lamp MAKES the room! I WANT THE LAMP!! I checked out the reviews for the set and it never got less than 4.5 out of 5 stars-with over 15 reviews! So now I knew I had to get it! I googled the lamp and searched and searched and searched. NO ONE seemed to be selling it anymore. I saw one for sale on ebay.....for $200!!!!!!! The lamp is only worth like $45! I don't want it that bad! But then I found a website that sells the lamp! The only catch is that you have to buy the bedding from them, too. It was only like $30 more with them than at Target.com so I got it! YAY!

We got the bedding, the lamp, the valance...

the diaper stacker...

and the super soft blanket!

Here is a closer view of the bedding. The inside of the bumper pads is made from that same fabric as the super soft blanket! Cozy!


So I feel a LOT better now! Yay for Noah!

Baby Noah

First of all, let me start out by saying that I've gained a total of 11 pounds since I got pregnant!! Holy crap!!!! Ok, now that that's out of the way.....Noah weighs about one pound now!! YAY! His heartrate was a strong 155 bpm and the ultrasound technician said that looking at Noah was like looking at a textbook-everything is PERFECT! Overall he measured pretty close to my dates but his legs measured two weeks big! Brad and I are both short, so I don't know where he got his long legs from! He kicked, danced and did crunches the entire ultrasound! (That large Mountain Dew from Taco Casa really did the trick!!) When the ultrasound technician was starting to look to see Noah's goodies, I IMMEDIATELY saw and said, "Oh my gosh, that's a PENIS!! It's a BOY!!!!!" He was just spread eagle and had 'such a big package'-as Brad says-that everyone in the room saw it before the tech had a chance to!

Brad's face when he saw that Noah was a BOY!


The ultrasound lasted about 40 minutes, so I'll just give yall the money shot! The video starts with the four chambers of his heart, moves to his goodies and then ends with his legs. Enjoy!




And a few more pictures for the grandparents...
Noah's spine


His long legs


And his manhood!


I don't like the baby bedding I picked out for him anymore....and I can't find anything in town that I like. So I'm back to square one with the bedding. Hopefully I'll find something soon!

It's a........

BOY!!!!!! More details later, but I knew yall would kill me if I made you wait much longer!!!

Childbirth class

I am such a blog slacker lately yall! Gah!

So Monday night Brad and I had our second childbirth class. We were told to bring two pillows and a blanket to class because we were going to be down on the floor practicing some breathing techniques. The instructor turned the lights down really low, put on some calming music of waves crashing on the shore, asked all of the mommies to lay against their coaches and for the coaches to softly instruct the mommies to "Breathe in.....and out......in....and out....." If you know us in real life, you can probably get a picture in your head......of Brad and I busting out laughing the entire time! He just isn't ever that serious and when he was really trying to concentrate and get me to breathe properly, I just couldn't take it!

After that part of the class, we got to tour the hospital. We aren't delivering at that hospital (our hospital is the sister hospital to this one) but I was still interested in taking the tour. So we toured the triage room....the floor....and then the delivery room. Now remember that I get claustrophobic with this baby in my tummy. There were about 30-35 people in this room and the instructor was explaining to us what each thing in the room was and it's purpose. I found it very informative. But then it started to get really hot in the room. And then I started to get dizzy. I thought that maybe because I'd been standing for a while and my knees where locked that maybe that was why I was feeling funny. So I unlocked my knees and tried to move around a little bit. THEN the instructor pulled the bottom cushion off the bed, pulled out the stirrups and that's when it hit me that I would actually have to push this baby out! So then I really started to feel faint. I don't do blood, needles, flesh, or anything of the sort. Obviously if the sight of stirrups on a bed makes me feel faint, huh? So at this point my head was kind of rolling in a circle and my eyes were starting to roll back in my head. And I thought to myself....'hmmm, I'm about to pass out. Should I pass out in here? No, that would scare all the other pregnant ladies. I think I'll pass out in the hall, that way it will be less distracting. Ok, go in to the hall.' So that's what I did. Well Brad immediately followed me out and I told him that I was about to pass out. We decided to walk down the hallway to try and get some air. At the end of the hallway was a wheelchair, so I sat in it for about five minutes and was fine after that! How traumatizing!!

We have two more classes to go but those won't be until November. And as for our little bambino (or bambina!) here is what Baby Center says he/she should look like:




I don't know about you, but that just makes me want to cry a little bit! Poor thing, all squished up in there! I can't imagine how he/she will still fit in the 20 weeks to come!

And speaking of he/she, I'll be SO GLAD when I can call him/her Noah or Emma Faith! I'm sick of saying 'it' or 'the baby'. Thank goodness we find out tomorrow! AH! And I'll update as soon as I know tomorrow!

One more thing, Baby LOVES lime popsicles. I mean LOVES THEM!!! He/she goes CrAzY when I eat them and just kicks and kicks! So last night I was eating one and I reached over and grabbed Brad's hand, put it on my belly and he got to feel the baby kick for the first time!!! Yay for Daddy!

Anywho, ONE MORE DAY (again!)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

19 weeks

I can not believe how much my belly grew in just a week!!

How far along? 19 weeks! Almost half way there!
Total weight gain/loss: I, again, didn't weigh myself this week. We don't even own a scale! But I'll let you know after my doctor's visit this coming week!
Maternity clothes? I went yesterday and bought several new shirts. Hardly ANY of my pre-pregnancy clothes fit anymore.
Stretch marks? None!
Sleep: My belly is getting so big that it's forcing me to sleep on my side...so I'm not as comfortable anymore. And for some reason, I'm not sleeping as hard as I usually do. I woke up 4-5 times a night this past week!
Best moment this week? Feeling movement everyday!
Movement? The baby moves mostly in the afternoon when I've come home from work and am just sitting down in my recliner. But he/she also moves a little during the day and sometimes early in the morning.
Food cravings: Still sour foods. But last night I reallllly wanted a pizza.
Gender: I'm starting to lean a little toward girl, but it's probably a boy.
Labor signs: None.
Belly button in or out? Same as last week. It's still in, but it's poking out from the inside...does that make sense? I don't know. It freaks me out.
What I miss: Besides my normal response of Red Bull? Nothing!
What I am looking forward to: FINALLY (hopefully!) finding out the gender this week!
Weekly wisdom: Fiber One bars can be your best friends.
Milestone: Attending our first childbirth class!

We have another Preparing for Childbirth class tomorrow night. We will get to tour the hospital (which isn't the hospital we will deliver at but at least we will get an idea) and practice some pain management techniques for labor. And THEN our monthly doctor's appointment is Thursday! Any tips or tricks to ensuring the baby shows the goods? I will seriously CRY if we don't find out Thursday.

Ultrasound update

Well...the girl that was going to sneak me in for my ultrasound has been really busy at work...she said she would call if it slacks up...she doesn't get off until 11pm tonight so surely it will slack up by then, right? I think I'll go cry in a corner now....

I'll update as soon as I know more.

One more day!

I know, I know. I've been a blog slacker lately. No reason, other than I've been busy at home, busy at work and just plain PREGNANT! But the good news is that we just have ONE MORE DAY until we see this...



or this...

YYYYYYYYYAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!! I'm not going until after 5:00pm tomorrow and since I'm sort of being 'snuck in' I'm not exactly sure what time we will be doing the ultrasound. But I promise I'll update as quickly as I can!! Please pray that everything will be ok with the baby when we do the ultrasound and that he/she will show the goods!

18 weeks

How far along? 18 weeks baby!
Total weight gain/loss: Up 4.5 lbs from pre-pregnancy weight
Maternity clothes? Pretty much exclusively
Stretch marks? None, thank the Lord!!
Sleep: Wonderful!
Best moment this week? Being 100% sure I am feeling the baby move!
Movement: I complained all last week that I hadn't really felt the baby move yet. I even looked through some people's blog archives that are pregnant or used to be to see when they first felt their baby kick and I got VERY dissappointed last Friday when I learned that most of them had been feeling the baby move often at 18 weeks into their pregnancy. That night, peanut started kicking and has been moving several times a day!
Food cravings: Nothing in particular. But whenever I decide I want something, I want it RIGHT THEN!!
Gender: Still thinking boy!
Labor signs: None!
Belly button in or out? Still in, but trying it's best to be out!
What I miss: Red Bull and being able to sing on the praise team without almost DYING from lack of oxygen!
What I am looking forward to: A friend of a friend is going to perform an ultrasound for us this coming Thursday to find out the sex of the baby! So we can hopefully find out a week early and then get confirmation at the doctor the next week! I'm so excited!!!!!
Weekly wisdom: Sitting down while getting ready in the mornings can save a LOT of energy!
Milestones: Finally feeling movement!

I really hope the baby cooperates Thursday so we can finally know what he/she is! We also start our childbirth classes tomorrow. I'm excited and anxious at the same time. Hopefully we'll both learn some things and get some information about the hospital. Keep your fingers crossed for Thursday!

Doctor visit continued...

So I wasn't going to post the details of my doctor visit yesterday, but after I told April the story she deemed it blog worthy so here you go! Normally when I call my doctor's office with a question or problem, I leave a message with the receptionist for one of my doctor's nurses. Yesterday when I called and explained my pain to the receptionist, she immediately put me through to a nurse. That freaked my freak! I talked to the nurse and explained my pain again. She said that my doctor wasn't in the office that morning (there are several other doctors that work in the same practice) and if I didn't want to wait until that afternoon when he got there, I could either see another one of the doctors there or go to the emergency room. I told her that I could wait to see my doctor until that afternoon but I REALLY wanted to come in then to hear the heartbeat and make sure little bean was ok. So she told me come on in.

I hate when blog posts are one big paragraph, so I'm breaking it up! Anyway, I assumed that when I got there, they would shuffle me into a back room, listen to the baby and I'd be out the door in 10-15 minutes. Ha. Ha. Ha. One thing I learned is that you NEVER say the words 'abdominal pain' to an OB unless you want to be there for HOURS. So I was eventually put into a room after the nurse got my blood pressure, weight and urine sample. Fun stuff. I waited and waited and waited. Then FINALLY I heard a knock on the door. YAY! (I assumed a nurse would be using the doppler on me.....wrong!) A male student doctor walked into the room. Umm...ok. He was really nice and REALLY nervous. So I explained to him the kind of pain I was experiencing....three times....and then he asked me to lay back so he could use the doppler and find the heartbeat. I laid back and he put the doppler on my belly....and PUSHED the thing on me. We heard the heartbeat for a millasecond but little bean doesn't like being pushed on so he/she swam to the other side really quickly! So he moved the doppler to the other side and PUSHED it on me again! Stupid! Anyway, he got a clear heartbeat and was able to count it. Yay for him.

He told me that he was pretty sure that I was just experiencing round ligament pain but he wanted to go check with Doctor M first just to make sure. So he left the room. Waiting...waiting...in walks Doctor M and Student Doctor. Doctor M asked me to explain the pain...again. Now remember that these men are not my normal doctors. I've NEVER seen them before in my life. Then Doctor M says......."Well, I'd like to examine you. Just to make sure you aren't dilating." ............Why me? WHY ME??? So I tell myself that this is the best thing for my little bean and tell him ok. I mean, he's a doctor right?



So they leave so I could get naked. The door opens back up....and in walks Doctor M AND Student Doctor and a female nurse....WAAAIT just a minute...HE isn't going to...oh my GOD he is.......that's right-the STUDENT DOCTOR wanted some experience finding a cervix. Just my freakin luck. And homeboy was so nervous I seriously thought for a second that he had never even SEEN a vagina before. So while Student Doctor was looking for my cervix, Doctor M was being very nice and trying his very best to think of any question he could think of to make small talk with me to keep my mind off the teenager in my vagina. What felt like 5 minutes went by and Doctor M says in a not-so-nice tone to Student Doctor, "Have you found the cervix YET?" Student Doctor said, "I think I may have found the outside of it." Doctor M ever so politely apologized to me and PUSHED Student Doctor out of the way and immediately found my cervix and said, "Ooo great, all closed up!" Ok, now that I'm traumatized....just lovely. So all in all it was just round ligament pain. Yippee.

Friday night plus a doctor visit

Soooo here we go. It took Brad and I five hours to get to Atlanta Friday. Normally it only takes around three but there was so much traffic because of everyone heading that way. We finally pulled into the parking lot of the hotel around 8:30pm. As soon as we pulled into the parking lot, an Indian man tapped on Brad's window. The guy had on every day clothes-nothing that would distinguish him as an employee of the hotel. Brad asked what he wanted and the guy said that he would get Brad a parking spot if we were staying at the hotel, otherwise they charge for parking spots. Brad explained that we are staying so the guy motions for Brad to pull into a spot. Weird-but whatever. So we walked into the hotel lobby and there was NO ONE around, except for the two Indian guys behind the counter (again in every day clothes). Brad checked us in and then asked for a luggage cart. The guy said, "We don't have those." Ooook. So Brad tells me that we are on the second floor and we needed to go find the elevators. We walked and walked and then realized.....there were no elevators. You had to walk up a flight of stairs to get to the second floor!!! So we walked up the stairs and as soon as we got to the top, the worst smell hits us in the face. We don't know exactly what is was, but it seemed to be a mixture of Indian food, body odor, mildew and dirt? We opened the door to our room.....and the air was completely off. It was about 95 degrees in there. Greeeeat. The carpet was so dirty that I refused to take my shoes off. I pulled the comforter on to the floor so I could sit on the bed.....the comforter had TONS of cigarette burns on the under side of it. Gross! I looked to see what time it was.....no clock. Brad then decided to go find the ice dispensor thing out in the hall....couldn't find it....picks up the phone in the room to call the front desk and ask them where the ice dispensor is...the phone doesn't freakin WORK! What the crap?!?!?!? I tried my very best to just suck it up and deal with it, but my hormones combined with the 95 degree heat just couldn't take it anymore. I busted out in tears and told Brad that I would be sleeping in the car before I spent the night in that place! So he went downstairs and demanded a refund. Luckily, we got all of our money back. So we hit the road in search of another room. Brad's brother was staying at a hotel about 10 minutes away so we called them to see if their hotel had any rooms. They had a room for that night only.....beggars can't be choosy, right? So we checked in. As it turned out, some guys were leaving the next day and we were able to get their room for Saturday and Sunday nights. BUT we had to check out of our original room Saturday morning and couldn't check back in to the other room until 8:00pm Saturday night so we hung out with Brad's brother's family all day. WHEW.

So our vacation could have been realllllly bad, but thankfully everything worked out. We went to the Georgia Aquarium on Sunday and had a good time. There were a TON of people there and like I said in an earlier post I'm realllly claustrophobic now so we ended up only staying there about two hours. After we left, I took about a five hour nap at the hotel because I was still exhausted from the football game!

I also started having some lower abdominal pain around Friday that continued (and got a little worse) as the weekend progressed. I assumed it was just round ligament pain from all the stress and walking that we were doing. But this morning I just really wanted to get checked out and make sure that everything was ok. I would rather be the annoying patient that calls about everything that be too mellow about everything and something really be wrong. So I called my doctor's office and they wanted to see me right away-freak the pregnant lady out please! I've gained another pound since I was at the doctor two weeks ago so I've gained a total of 4 pounds now. Looong story short, everything is fine with the baby. The heartrate was 148bpm and the doctor checked to make sure I wasn't dilating and I wasn't. So it was just round ligament pain after all. AND the doctor told me that if I didn't already have an ultrasound scheduled in two weeks, he would have gone ahead and done one today. DANGIT! Oh well, I guess we will just have to wait 16 more days!

UA vs. VT

We won! Not that I paid any attention to the game, whatsoever. This has been a very interesting weekend and I promise to post the details of Friday night as soon as I have the energy to relive it! But for now, I'll fast forward to Saturday! The game didn't start until 8:00pm so we had all day to kill. Well because of the fiasco that was Friday night, we had to check out of our hotel room Saturday by 11:00am and couldn't check back in until late that night....SO we had to hang out in Brad's brother's family's room all day Saturday (thanks Keith and Heaven!!). So we basically laid around all day, which I was more than happy to do knowing what was ahead of me! We eventually headed to the Georgia Dome and had to walk a mile or so to get to it. Not fun. AND our seats were like three rows from the TOP of the dome. So needless to say, by the time we sat down I was pretty much done and ready to go home. My expanding belly (and the precious cargo inside) has made me extremely claustrophobic and that doesn't mesh well with large (drunk) crowds. Anyway, we got to our seats about an hour before the game started. I was SO tired when we finally sat down that I had ZERO interest in watching the game. Almost everyone around me was drunk, loud and cussing like sailors. Not fun. So I played on my cell phone the entire game and tried my VERY best to hold my eyes open.

Brad and I before the game. Do I look tired to you? Dang he's hot.


The pregame show was pretty good though. I love watching the bands march. After each band played a while, both bands got on the field together (spelling VT and UA in case you can't make it out) and they played the National Anthem under the direction of the founder of Chick-fil-A. That was pretty cool.


Baby taking a good nap...wish I could have done the same!


You can't see it, but that's the final score on the board, 34-24. (and a bunch of empty VT seats!)

After the game, we walked the mile out of the dome and the other mile back to our car...in the large drunker crowd...at around midnight....NOT FUN. Can anyone say round ligament pain??? I thought I was dying. The longer we walked, the more I turned into a zombie. Towards the end, I couldn't even feel my legs moving. They were just walking on their own and I was just along for the ride.

So I made the executive decision for baby and me that we probably won't be attending that many games this year. I mean, I'm only 17 weeks now. I can't imagine walking that far and through that crowd as I get bigger. Sacrifices, people, sacrifices.

Post on Friday night and today coming up soon!

17 weeks

Sorry for the poor quality of this picture! It was taken with my camera phone because I left my camera in Tuscaloosa! Boy have we had some interesting things happen while we've been in Atlanta. But that's coming in another post! Here's the baby update:

How far along? 17 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: I haven't weighed myself this week...but I'm sure I've gained!
Maternity clothes? My best friends!
Sleep: My sleep has gotten a lot better. I think I've finally found a good side-sleeping position!
Best moment this week: Possibly feeling the baby move!!
Movement: I only felt it once, I think. But I knew it wasn't gas this time. I'm almost positive it was the baby!
Food cravings: I've been craving salads this week-with really vinegar-y dressing.
Gender: Probably boy.
Labor Signs: Thankfully, none!
Belly button in or out? Mostly in.
What I miss: Being able to go go go all day long.
What I am looking forward to: Finding out the sex of the baby!
Weekly Wisdom: Drink plenty of water. If you don't, your belly will tense up and that hurts!
Milestones: Another week under my belt!

Baby's first Alabama football game is tonight! I hope he/she behaves! Roll Tide!

My bags are packed, I'm ready to go...

Except that my bags aren't packed yet because I fell asleep last night before I could get that done! Brad and I are heading to Atlanta this afternoon to watch the Tide kick some Virginia booty! He's so excited! And I'm all decked out in my Alabama gear today!

The Pasak girls...April, Mom, Me and Kim! (My hair is flat and I look a hot mess in this picture! Sorry!)

And here are some old pictures of Brad and I during football season throughout the years!

This picture was taken in Arkansas, maybe in 2006? When we got to Arkansas, a tornado had just blown through and our hotel was damaged and had no power! So luckily we found another hotel down the interstate that had a room!

This was in 2002 or 2003 I think.

A-Day game in 2007.

Last year in Atlanta.

Bella's first time to get to go tailgating!

2007...I've definitely put on a few baby pounds after looking at this picture!!

Have a safe and happy Labor Day weekend everybody! ROOOOOLLLLLLLLLL TIDE!

Gender Ultrasound Update

So....I'm going crazy. I'm about to POP with anxiety to know what this baby is! My original appointment was at 9am on the 25th. I called my doctor's office and told a liiiiittle white lie (bad Allison, I know) and said that I needed to reschedule my appointment because my husband wouldn't be able to make my original one. Hee hee. I said, "Do you have anything like....the week before??" Sneaky sneaky! So my appointment has been reschuduled to....the freakin day before. 3:30pm on the 24th. Not much of an improvement, but it's a few hours shaved off, right?

Then I have a friend that went up to Virginia College in Birmingham to have an ultrasound done. The techs in training will perform an ultrasound on your for FREE. But...they only perform them during the day on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Birmingham is an hour away from where we live, so that's out.

THEN my very very lovely hair dresser, Rissie, has a friend that works somewhere that performs ultrasounds (a radiology clinic maybe?) so she's going to try her best to get my an appointment soon!

So I'll update as soon as I find out more information!

Our child has bad hair

I went to one of those "What your baby will look like" websites where you submit a picture of yourself and your spouse and it morphs them together to show you what your child will look like...and here she(?) is...



Cute kid, but what's up with that hair??!?! And Brad has dark brown eyes and mine are green sooo....I have no idea where the blue eyes came from! Interesting...
