Alright already

Here's our best ultrasound picture.

And one of me and my favorite furry kiddo

Heading to the beach with the girls from work this afternoon. All is well.

It's a girl!

Hey everyone -
We just got back from our 21 week ultrasound. All bodily structures measure on target. 5 fingers, 5 toes, two of everything there should be two of. Only one head, which is good. :) And she's a she!
Pictures soon.
Love, Liz

Another baby video

We have our "official" ultrasound tomorrow, but my curiousity got the best of me and I looked again with our machine up at work (just a quick peek). I think it's a girl. We'll see if I'm proven right or wrong. On this video, you can see the face on the left (bright line down the head is the forehead, bridge of nose, mouth and chin...) and the chest and beating heart to the right (if you look closely). :) ...

Another Eugenian Experience

I cried again today, and I swear its not the pregnancy hormones. Well, it might be. A little bit. We went downtown to buy veggies at the market and go to the Eugene festival. The parade was just finishing, and we arrived in time to watch the Peace train go by. It might be the horror of thinking about the future possibility of a McCain/Palin presidency, or the current lingering war, but that Peace Train really got to me. Our mother-daughter eight-some from Portsmouth often picketed with Beyond War in market square. Eugene reminds me of my childhood. And apparently those childhood memories are good enough to make me tear up a little.

The market is now overflowing with melons, chilis, cukes and tomatoes. The chili vendor roasts his produce on the corner of the market, so the air is thick with the smoke. We then headed back to the festival, where I ate an entire funnel cake. We listened to the Conjugal Visitors, a great bluegrassy type band, and watched people dance.


I'm sure you are all waiting for the belly pics but you're going to have to wait a little longer. The good news is that TODAY is the first day in 4 months that I've felt very near to 100%. 'Bout time.
