From bug to lentil...

We had the fourth ultrasound today, took a while to get to the practice because of some bad weather, it's cold and snowy, a bunch of accidents along the highway. We got in a bit late but didn't have to wait long.

The baby is about 1.3 cm (hard to tell in another pic they had it at 1.7cm) which is about the size of a lentil bean. Here are the latest ultrasounds with a heartbeat. It was cool because you could see a head and i think even the bump of a nose forming!

We're headed off to see Mindy & Tom Blossom in San Francisco this weekend, going to attend her baby shower and just have a good time visiting. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Out and about

Well Maggie is pretty much past her cold, eating Carr's water crackers first thing when she wakes up has really helped with her morning nausea. I'm feeling pretty good following a small procedure to remove a patch of skin near my right temple that tested positive for basal cell cancer (it has a 99% cure rate), a reminder to all of us out there with fair skin, WEAR YOUR SUN SCREEN!

Maggie wanted to get out and about, she's spent too much time at home lately being sick and with morning sickness so we went out and did some shopping. Got a heated water dispenser for the chickens since it will be getting down to 5 degrees at night in the next few days, trying a new dog food for Clementine (she's gotten a bit finicky lately), and just enjoying being out together. We also got out for a walk around the neighborhood. A nice quiet day.

At Petco we spotted a pretty amazing truck, i'll let the pictures speak for themselves but this guy was a true artist. Maggie thought the dog in the truck seemed a bit embarrassed about being spotted in such a gaudy vehicle, but it was a sweet ride!
