Proud Parents to be...

Dan and I right after the ultra sound last Friday. It was so amazing to see her moving around inside my belly and not really even knowing it other than my belly is getting bigger. Check out "Belly Shots" to see recent belly shot.

Proud Grandparents

Proud Grandfather and Grandmother Maynard (we are still working on what they are going to be called, my mom's dad insisted that Julie and I call him Grandfather, however, I always called him Grandflower, it stuck and he liked it).

A few more shots

It's A....................................

GIRL!!!! Friday we had an ultra sound to see how things were coming along. Everything looks great!!! She is 13 oz. and her heart, bladder, spine, head, legs and arms all look great, of course we are a little bias. She was so busy doing summer salts that we didn't' get great pictures of her face, but most importantly we were able to see that everything was fine. So here are the shots, enjoy and Dan and I thank you all for your prayers. We both have a great peace in our hearts that she is healthy and we can't wait to meet her. So today we start arranging the little girl nursery. Dan and I are both so excited for a girl, we didn't have a preference, but Dan did say, "she'll still go fishing and hunting and camping with us, right?" Love you all!!!

Girl's Night Out

Mom, Julie and I spent a weekend together back in October and all the guys were gone, hunting, drill, and to Mexico and so we had a great girls weekend. One night we went out to the Western and didn't even get ready so here is the picture that made our local monthly paper. It never fails when you don't get ready there is the lady that takes pictures for the paper. It is always nice to spend a weekend with the girls!!!

Happy 29th Dan!!!

We went to see Dan's family for the weekend to celebrate Dan's birthday. He doesn't look any older today!! The guys went shooting and the girls hung out and talked sewing and girl stuff. We had so much food and birthday cake, the whole nine yards, on Sunday we had Dan's favorite, Roast Beef!! We hope you all had a great weekend too. I'll post birthday pictures as soon as I get some of the old guy!!

3rd Doctors Appointment

All is looking good. My mom went with me this time, so we made a "girl's night out", out of it. We got to hear the heart beat, 141bpm, I guess as the baby gets bigger the heart rate slows down some. It was 166 a month ago, but the doctor seemed to be fine with it. We got to hear a kick too, but I still haven't felt the baby move, so I still wait for that moment patiently. My mom took her IPod with us and recorded the baby's heart beat on it, so if I can I'll post that for all of your enjoyment. I have gained 9 pounds total and 6 of them since the beginning of Nov., everything is looking good. We still haven't found out what it is, but will let you all know as soon as we know and not a moment sooner. :) Oh, so after the appointment we got to go to Cattle Baron for probably the first meal out in a while that I actually completely enjoyed my food. I think I ate three loaves of bread with some help. I am eating more now and everything is looking good. Finally I can enjoy food again, and I so enjoy food!!!
