We saw so much good stuff today!

The appointment with the specialist went great. He performed basic tests to detect any birth defects and abnormalities, such as, Downs Syndrome, among others. He said everything looks great and all the measurements are normal. He gave an estimated due date of 03/23/2008. Heartbeat is about 170bpm. We've also got a great DVD of the sonogram, but I just can't get it to upload to this site. I saw the baby moving it's arms, turning it's head, bending it's knees, all very neat stuff! The baby has grown out it's arms and legs and it looks like it'll have the Miles' big feet, too. So all is well. Till the next appt. That's next Monday, by the way.

Long Time no blog...

I'm here blogging because my dear friend Dana, and others, believe I don't speak to the world enough. So, here goes.

We've finished moving.
We've mowed the lawn for the first time.
We've had friends over for dinner for the first time, (mostly, for free labor).
I've Christened all the loos with pregnancy blessings, all sorts. The backyard too, on one very bad morning.

Friends are great,too. In an attempt to keep me from over-doing it and also to keep me from burning Eric out with endless "honey do" tasks, Dana and my Mom have become quite the handy ladies. They've been over slaving to replace hideous door knobs, electrical outlets, and light switches. The house feels more like home everyday. Mom went crazy at the home stores to purchase house warming presents, Eric's favorite, a mini fridge for the media room.

Dad helped with the grunt work and a few necessary gadgets that I didn't even know existed. He also gives great tutorials on how to program an air conditioner. Nadine brought a home cooked meal and lots of help in the kitchen. Sarah brought many pregnancy books and children to fill my home with laughter. The outpouring of support has been awesome and hard to accept at times.

Things are also okay with the growing babe, as far as I know. A little spotting last night, but I took it easy and it's subsided. But, it's scary every time.

Our next appointment is Tuesday, tune in Tuesday night for the next update.
