Baby's Heartbeat!

Check it out!

Pretty Awesome huh?

Thanks Doppler Rental People!

I wove a basket.

A very small basket.

I followed instructions found in Craft magazine and they worked great.

Technically, I didn't follow "all" the instructions but I am too lazy to go back and fix it.

I will do it correctly on the next basket.

20 Weeks Pregnant

Baby's first trip to the fair! Yay for funnel cake!

Spam :(

We had to temporarily block anonymous comments on this blog because we started getting spam in the comments section. Hopefully, we can switch it back soon.

19 Weeks Pregnant

We had our second trimester ultrasound this past Monday. The baby is perfectly healthy! They looked at EVERYTHING-- heart, kidneys, brain, spine, umbilical cord... we even saw the little fingers and toes. Elliot and I also know if it's a boy or a girl, but we're not telling yet. :)

The doctor did say that I'm at risk for placenta previa, because my placenta is positioned very low right now. Chances are that my placenta will rise as my uterus expands, but if it doesn't then that means I'll need to have a c-section. I have to go back for another ultrasound in 6 weeks to recheck the position of my placenta.

Is it bad that I'm happy about getting to have another ultrasound? That means that I get to see the baby again before it's born!

Halloween Kitten

Baby was an unborn kitten for Halloween this year. Meow!

I wish that we could put pictures of William up on the blog, but we can't post pictures of him to the Internet. He was a fireman and he looked SO cute. He got lots of compliments and he came home with a massive amount of candy.

Gosh, I guess it really must be Halloween!

So we go out trick or treating, and it's great. Just like in the movies. Perfect temperature, cloudy full(ish) moon, tons of people of all ages, blocks of decorated and jack-o-lanterned houses giving out great candy. Neither penny nor Molasses based candy in sight! Then when we get back to the house and just to put the icing on the pumpkin we spied these two creepy spiders! Check 'em out!

Actual, honest to goodness black brown widows!

What a night!

18 Weeks Pregnant

My actual belly!

Big Spider

She lives between the glass and the screen. She has been around for months now, growing bigger and getting stronger.

We are pretty sure that she's a Hunstman spider. They don't usually build webs, they just run em down! Legspan is about the size of my palm, which is quite large if you ask me.
