Overprotective?
September 15, 2008
This weekend we went out on the town with a bunch of friends to celebrate someone's birthday. Had a great time, especially catching up with friends we had not seen in quite some time. After dinner we went to a night club. They had a really nice set up outside of the club, in something like a courtyard. Tons of nice patio type sofas that were very comfortable, with a long, rectangle fire pit (gas flames). It was such a nice night, we spent most of the time outside.
At one point, we decided to go inside and get our groove on. It was packed!!! So, my wonderful husband felt it necessary for us to dance close, facing each other, with his elbows out wide, constantly moving me out of "harm's way". Overprotective? I think it's just too dang cute!
On a side note, today is the day we met, seven years ago. Our lives have never been the same, and I wouldn't change a minute of it!

It's a girl!!!!
September 11, 2008
Yesterday morning was our "big" ultrasound with a radiologist. It's so amazing what they do. She measured all of the organs and limbs and head and brain - amazing! Seriously, in all that grey, white, and black fuzziness, how do you know that's a kidney??? The good news is that everything is measuring on track. I was afraid I wasn't growing fast enough, making me wonder about the size of the baby. But, all is good. Somehow, with the head and limb measurements, they can tell you how much the baby actually weighs, and right now she is at 1.3 pounds, and my due date is exactly on schedule.
So, our little one is a girl. Not Blair's first pick, but he is so excited to become a daddy. I swear after the appointment he was beaming. During the ultrasound, our little girl was moving all over the place and the technician said she had good thigh muscles. That was all Blair needed to hear, not sure if he heard anything else the rest of the time! He's determined that she'll be a runner with him!!!
We are SO excited and I'm sort of in this unbelieveable trance. Emotionally, I'm still trying to grasp the fact that we are actually pregnant, that this pregnancy is actually going to last full term, that we are actually going to have a newborn in January, that we are actually having a baby girl - our lives are never going to be the same again!!!

It's tentative...
September 3, 2008
We had our 20 week doctor appointment last week, and asked the doc to do an ultrasound to see if she could tell the gender. Well, she did, and basically did not see any extra equipment between the legs. Needless to say, Blair was a little down. Don't get me wrong, Blair is happy just to have it kicking and screaming, no matter the gender. He loves this little one very much, no matter what. He isn't giving up hope, though. Our "big" ultrasound is next Wednesday, and the radiology department will have better equipment and a more trained eye. So, until then...
