The Baby Bump!

I figure I should post another picture of my baby bump that seems to be growing every day. This pic is of me at about a week ago (34.5 weeks along). Baby gal's still doing great -- she's kicking me right now as I type, in fact! Just a few more weeks to go!!

This picture is one Roy snapped while we were in San Angelo at his Grandmother's house.

Does this look like me?

Roy emailed me this picture earlier this week. "Not sure why, but this reminded me of you." :P

Joss Whedon's new tv series!!!!

YESSSSSSS!!!!! Joss Whedon spilled the beans today about a new tv series he's working on for Fox (fingers are crossed! please don't cancel them!) called "Dollhouse". And it's going to star Eliza Dushka (aka Faith the Vampire Slayer)! What *spectacular* news!!! (Read more about this here.) WOOHOO!

Roy gets his first kick from the baby!

Roy felt the baby for the first time Monday night. Li'l baby Janelle has been kicking me and moving around for several weeks now, but every time Roy put his hand on my stomach, she'd get very still. It was almost like a game with our little stinker! Finally, on Monday, Roy and I were talking and he had his hand on my stomach, and she decided then to give him a good kick! :D :D :D

Our 24 week sonogram

This video is amazing. Shortly after beginning, the tech zoomed in on the baby's face, and you can very clearly see our baby opening and closing her mouth. (Gives me goosebumps!) You also get a good view in the video of her feet, spine, and ribs. But the closeups of her face are just really amazing!!

Our little stinker is a...

… GIRL!! Roy and I went in this afternoon for our second try at seeing what this baby is (last time, baby’s legs were crossed and curled up), and it’s a girl!! Little stinker did still have her legs crossed again this time, but the tech managed to get a good look when she kicked a few times. Needless to say, Roy and I are really, really happy! :) :) :)

I'll post the video from the sonogram tomorrow. :D :D :D

Lizzie

I just have to post this... Look how beautiful Lizzie (my baby sister) is. I was going through her myspace pictures, and I totally stole these from her. These are a couple of my favorites.





Love ya *BABE*!!

My first preggo picture post

Well, I figure the time has come for me to post a preggo picture of myself. As you can tell in the picture below, I'm definitely showing. This picture was taken about two weeks ago when I was at 20 weeks. Today, I noticed that I can no longer see my toes when I look down. :P

More U2 Humor

In continuing with the U2-related humor, I found some funny U2-ish clips online. Thought I'd share with you guys. Enjoy!

Vertigo (U2) Spoof

A friend of mine sent this to me, and it just had me rolling!! HILARIOUS!!

Here's our li'l stinker

Below is the video from our sonogram yesterday. It's a nice, long video since the poor technician was trying to turn every which way to figure out if this baby's a boy or girl. :D Looks like this babe was just chillin' out!

It's a...

...BABY!!!! A very shy baby. A baby who kept its legs crossed at the ankles the entire sonogram. My new name for the baby? The Stinker! ;D

Ah well. My shopping spree will have to wait. We'll have another try on October 16th, when they do another sonogram to re-check the umbilical cord. This sonogram was amazing, though -- we saw a close-up of the baby's heart, the spine, the face, feet, its little rump, stomach, bladder, cute little button nose. It's a healthy, wonderful baby ... but still a stinker!!

We were able to record the sonogram again this time, so I'll digitize the video tomorrow if our studio is available, and I'll post it tomorrow evening.

So, we have a little less than four weeks to go before we get another chance to see what this baby is. Wish us luck!!

Project Playlist

Yet again, my 17-yr old sister Lizzie showed me another really cool site. (My apologies if you've known about this for years.) Project Playlist lets you build a playlist of songs for you to post on your myspace, facebook, or any other social network site. I've permanently added my "Pandora Favorites" playlist on my Facebook account. I've also posted it below so you can get a preview of the wonderful music I'm finding on Pandora. Thanks Lizzie!

Next sonogram (aka "the big one")...

Greetings guys and dolls. My apologies for the delay in posting anything. Things have just been busy this summer. Anyway, just wanted to let you know that the next big sonogram (aka "the big one") will be on Sept.20th at 2:30pm. We'll find out then what this baby is -- a boy or a girl. (!!!) We'll post when we find out! :D

Baby Super Model!

Roy and I just had our third sonogram this morning, so I figure I should get on the ball and post some pictures!! (No problems or anything -- I had my first at 5 weeks, which was too early, and my second was last week, and today's was part of some routine testing.) Baby Adams, fyi, is currently the size of a large lime ... at least according to the books and websites we've been reading. *grin*

Below are scans of the sonogram from last week. This morning's pictures still need to be scanned; however, we did get a dvd of the procedure so I captured it and uploaded it to Google Video. Enjoy!!

Baby Adams Blog Debut!

Hi Folks! Last week Roy and I went in for our first sonogram. At that time, the baby was the size of a small grain of rice. This week, the baby's about the size of a peppercorn. I've uploaded the picture from the sonogram. It's two shots side by side. If you click on the image and go to the flickr page, I have notes on the image explaining what you see. :D

WE'RE PREGNANT!!!

Roy and I found out last Friday at that are expecting! I'm about 4-5 weeks along right now, and the baby will be due around Feb.4. Can you believe it?!?! Needless to say, Roy and I are really ecstatic!

Watch out world - Roy's got a digital camera!

Roy's birthday is coming up (May 30), and last month I got him a digital camera. Now he's snapping pictures left and right. He's even created his own Flickr collection of photos. Below are some of my favorites. (As always, click the image to see a larger view.)

Do you Jaiku?

I posted recently on Edugeek Journal about Twitter vs. Jaiku, and I'm quickly moving over completely to Jaiku. Really nice functionality and just too easy to use and incorporate other feeds. I'm planning on putting a widget to this blog so you guys can get minute-to-minute updates on just what I'm up to ... b/c I'm sure you're just dying to know! :P
