36 1/2 Weeks

Watch this video of him moving around in my belly!!! There is a large kick at 12 seconds, then some undulation for the rest of the video. Cilton is working on a soundtrack for this little clip, so check back for a repost.

33 Weeks 4 Days

Today we had a portrait session with Mr. Sandy Carson (www.sandycarson.com) who is a super fun photographer. We shot for almost two hours - and then it took me two days to recover! My favorite one is where Cilton is hugging my belly and Sandy's feet are peeking into the side of the photo.

Thank you to my awesome brother for this memorable, thoughtful, and unique gift!!!

32-ish Weeks

Here's a pic of me and Breaux loungin' with the cool chair. My aunt and I found it in a thrift store in Maryland for $5!!! It took some years to get it from MD to TX, but it was totally worth the wait.

Today was our first prenatal appointment. Dr. Reue (pronounced "Roya") said twice that I was definitely pregnant, then we saw the heartbeat and the little "turtle". We cried.

I got a 'Similac' journal from the first doctor visit and filled in their little prompts:

***I discovered I was pregnant on 9/3/09. Monza encouraged me to take the pregnancy test and Cilton was with me when the result revealed itself. This was Thursday, after lunch at the UT Club, at the Lovell house, in the kitchen. Robin, the nurse, confirmed on Friday, then I drove to Houston to go to Portland with my mom to see my bro.

***The first thing I did after finding out I was pregnant was laugh then doubt the accuracy of the test.

***The first people I told about my pregnancy were Cilton, Monza, and Fumika.
