How your baby's growing: Your belly may soon be big enough to announce to the world that you're expecting, but your baby is still tiny. In fact, he's only about 3 inches long crown to rump — roughly the size of a jumbo shrimp — and weighs just about an ounce. (more)
What a day we had! We went to the city, and our first stop was an oil change at Saturn of
Your baby's hit the 2-inch mark (about the size of a lime) and weighs half an ounce. Her face is beginning to look more human. Her eyes, which started out on the sides of her head, have moved closer together on her face, and her ears are near their final positions on the sides of her head. (more)
Don't worry... it's done, it's over, and it's been "fixed." I love you.
We've been doing a little shopping for baby. As many of you know, we'll be cloth diapering, and I've done some sewing of fitted diapers already (basically, they look and work like disposables, except they get washed rather than tossed... I just have to decide if I want them to close with velcro, snaps, or pins). We've also bought some diapers online. But these aren't you're mom's cloth diapers! (more)
How your baby's growing: Your fig-sized baby is now fully formed — measuring 1 1/2 inches long and weighing in at a quarter of an ounce. (more)
What an exciting day! Geof and I have been looking forward to this appointment for awhile now... ever since the last one really. We knew that today was the first time we'd have an opportunity to hear the baby's heartbeat. (more)
Though the fetus is only about 1 to 2 inches long crown to rump and weighs less than half an ounce, it's busily swallowing and kicking. Each day more minute details start to appear, such as fingernails and peach-fuzzy hair. The vital organs — the liver, kidneys, intestines, brain, and lungs — are fully formed and functional, while the head is almost half the length of the entire body. The forehead temporarily bulges and sits high on the head, but later will metamorphose into a more human-like visage. (more)
We told our ladies at First's LWML meeting the other day. It was fun... I told them that I needed to switch my day for hosting because it was the same day I'm due =) The funny thing was, of the 6 women there, three of them kind of suspected it for one reason or another... well, really, two of them said they just *knew*.

Well, that's what "they" would like you to believe. Of course, there are experts that say otherwise, too. Remember the egg, anyone? One moment it's good, the next it's bad.
Here, we have milk, though. We both like milk. We go through it quicker than gas (perhaps, given its price per gallon, it's a good thing cars don't run on it). But it's one of those things Genevieve cannot tolerate. (more)
![]() You may find this little image on the bottom of my pages now (or shortly for some of the other ones). If you have a web page, it's a great idea. Why? Well, robots (that send spam to email addresses they find) like to search all of the links on your pages and follow them. They will follow this link and be in for a surprise. (more)
I try to do something nice, and I only end up hurting the one I love. I don't know...
Today was prenatal appointment number two.
It was exciting anticipating what could be done at this appointment. We were hoping that we would hear our baby's heartbeat. Well, the doctor pulled out the doppler instrument and started moving it around. We heard body sounds, but they were all Genevieve's. That was until the doctor was about to give up. That's when we heard the faint, little "squishy squishy" sound of baby's heartbeat. (more)
We let our congregations know this morning, as promised. (more)
I know about the problems with the web page loading. Something's going on with Freeshell that is beyond my control. They have some new computers and are in the process of moving things to those machines. As with changes of this nature, they say and would like the transition to be seamless, but even they admit that it most likely would not be. Well, here we have the evidence that it's not as seamless as anyone would have hoped. Bear with it...try a few times, the page(s) you're looking for may eventually load. When all is said and done, things should be back to normal. With the upgrade, things should be better than normal. Just give it some time.
Yes...this site is now open to the public...
