Finale ultrasound

Well we were at the doctor's and waitting for him to show up into the room and my husband asked if we get a 3rd and finale ultra sound. I said, we can ask. at the end of the apppointment we asked about it and he said,"When you book your next appointment, ask for the last appointment of the day and we'll sneak into the ultrasound room and see what we can do.

So the two photos are done by the doc. I've got no clue as to what's going on, I guess that's why he's the doc and not the ultra sound tech. lol. but baby is head down and looking good.

So i need to work on my copying skills. but when in doubt, pinky out.

And This one... mark and the Doc were seeing it upside down of what i was seeing. They were seeing the bottom (cock your head to the right, chin to the left) with the kid covering his eye with his hand.

But i'm seeing it (cock your head to the left, chin to the right) I can see the brown full head of hair, with his thumb in his mouth with the fingers up into the cheek. nose closer to the wrist.

let me know if you can see it, or if I should re-copy.

Counting game?!?

So Mark and Baby Jared have officially bonded. Mark has started this counting game with the baby, Mark will start pushing (or poking) my tummy, He'll poke once and we will feel baby Jared kick back once, and Mark and Jared have that down. the end of last week Mark started to poke twice and Jared was still kicking only once. so through repetative pokings, (poor mom) Mark has officially made progress and just the beginning of this week Mark was studiously poking and counting to baby Jared, "one" "one, two" as he was repeating this Baby Jared i guess caught on to what Mark was wanting and Kicked back twice. "super!" well mark was so excited that "one, two, three." he jumps up to three pokes. well Jared only kicked back once at that point. "ha ha, and neener neener." I then told mark that he was at least Three years of age outside of the womb before he could probably start counting that high. Told him to give Jared a break and stick with 2 for right now. so it has happened that Jared is distinguishing between "one" and "one, two" at least on a more regular basis for right now.

Virtual tour of the House

So here is that Virtual tour of the house that I promised everyone. Well before the move in.

This is the Street that runs in front of our house. Our House is on the left (you can't see it.) Some nicer-upscale apartments are on the right, (once again, out of the shot.)

Front of house, still with the 'for sale' sign out front. but it's gone now. Mark pulled it up and out of the front yard the first FULL day we owned the house. Wed. Nov. 26, 2008!

The Back of the house. master bedroom is the first window on the left. The covered porch is on the far right, and inbetween the two smaller windows is the Fireplace chimmney.

The two side views. The left side has the carport and the right side is where the master bedroom is.

Noticably we don't have a gate to the backyard yet. lol. Also very glad we don't have any windows on the right side of the house. :D

Bathroom, Yes there are Fishies on the shower doors. We didn't put them there. There are also similar fishies on the bottom of the tub. and so much sink space, "What to do with it?" and that handle sticking outta the wall near the tub is a door into the Master Bedroom. Two Doors in the bathroom, Such a chore to go the bathroom now.

Kitchen. Nice cupboards and we get a dishwasher. We are also Upgrading in cupboard space as well. So very excited. You can see the Fireplace in the den area on the left of the photo.
Den, better shot of the Den area with the awesome fireplace, (that we'll use cause we live in Mesa). lol.

The Building Sketch of the floor plan layout. For all those who need visual map help.

Oops, i forgot to get shots of the bedrooms. oh well, you'll get to see the bedrooms with stuff in them later.

Braxton Hicks???

So This morning I do believe I had my first noticeable 'Braxton Hicks Contraction'. so I've officially deceided to hit braxton hicks with some sticks. GGRRRR! I woke up this morning about 6:30ish, With a lovely Charlie Horse in my left calf and just as the calf started to release. I heard Mark come home from his 12 hour shift at Intel. well then started to feel a cramping or tightening of my abdomen which started about my rib cage and traveled all the way down to my bellybutton (abt) and then kinda wrapped up and around to my low back. I don't know how long that happened for. but the charlie horse in my calf was still hurting and i was still focusing on the after pain of a charlie horse.

I also have reason to believe that this kid better come out walking and talking and ready for life, cause with all the crazy movement, I swear he is jumproping with the imbilicale cord or doing jumping jacks or some kind of arobics.

Moving on In!

So it's been a crazy week and two days, (not like I'm counting or anything.) we've been official homeowners for 9 days. It's been crazy and fun. so While we were moving in I still was making myself 'kind of" available for work, (cause we needed some kind of income cause mark only had to work one day on thanksgiving week. lol! well I've been packing and unpacking boxes like crazy this week. and haven't had a quiet time to sit down at the computer to check e-mail or blog or even do nessary things online, (like change our address for everything.)

So this is the mess outside the back door cause I haven't had time to break down boxes after the massive mayham of unpacking them. I'll get pic of inside the house later. so you'll have to forgive my decorating skills, (the husband was helping get rid of boxes inside the house by dumping them out on the floor and saying, "ok, one box down, it makes them easier to unpack." (he's so logical.)
