| HI how is everyone doing? I'm so glad that you all stay up to date on news letter (those of you who do) so Zeke and I can see how everyone is growing and doing. We are doing well. I am 19 weeks and two days along, and thus far my due date is still March 27 2008. I went and saw the Dr. today and she is pretty sure she knows what the sex of the baby was. After checking, poking at my stomach to get the baby to move, and then reposition of the camera she figured out that we are most likely having a GIRL!!!! |

Hasn't she grown?!?! Now the last time we went to the Dr. (Oct 12, 2007) the baby wouldn't come out of the fetal position long enough for the Dr. to see so we had to wait a month to find out but it was well worth the wait. She weights 12 oz, and has been checked for Down syndrome and other visual birth defects, none were seen. Thus far we have been able to hear the heart beat and see her four chamber heart in action. That was really neat! So she is doing well. I have gained about 15 lbs and am feeling for the most part really good. My patience with people at work is a little short but all in all I'm handling things well. We have started touring hospitals to see where we would like the even to take place so far we have toured one hospital and it was pretty impressive. They have a lock down unit (something that I am unsure if it is standard or only some places offer and feature) Zeke liked it because there is a fold out bed in the delivery room. Yes I informed him it didn't matter as he wouldn't be using it. |
| I am slowly but surely growing. People have no problems with touching my stomach. I think I will try what was suggested to me, that being if someone rubs my tummy I will rub theirs and see if that doesn't fix the problem. It really isn't that bad all in all. |

Zeke and I went to a wedding and came home with a fish bowl. Now that we had a fish bowl we thought it was a good idea to get a fish for the bowl. |
|
|
The first fish was named Fred and the bowl we had was too small for him to live in so we bought a tank for him, only to find that the tank was to big and he looked lonely. So off the store we went to get some friends for Fred. At the store I saw a fish that I had to bring home. |
| Yes you are looking correctly Blinky only has one eye! See why I couldn't possibly leave him at the store, for surely no one would buy such a fish. I know some may think he looks funny but he would have a good home and that is what was important. Well about one week went by when Zeke found our plecostomis stuck in the plastic plants in the tank. Now his death looked as if we was killed and then hid in the plants. Anyway Zeke went to the store to obtain another plecostomis. When he brought it home and put it with the other fish we only then realized that he was carrying Ick. |

Now ick is the cat equivalent to fleas. Our other fish were bred in such a way to get their color but don't get much in the way of immune system, soon all the fish were infected. Zeke tried to save the fish but they just couldn't fight the ick. On Halloween all the fish accept the plec. Died! So yes we saved Blinky from an evil fish store only to have him die a slow death from the ick.
That is the news from our way hope you and yours are doing well. We will keep you up dated as more information comes. We love and miss you |
