Our 2nd OB Appointment

Hello All,

Just letting you know we had our 2nd regular OB appointment this morning and everything seems to be going well. We heard the heartbeat (which was on the faster side -- little girl maybe) and we set up our appointment to have the sonogram on Wednesday, November 28th at 10:00 which by then we should be able to tell what the sex of the baby is!!!

Take Care,
Lewis, Sara & Emma

Boo At The Zoo

"Mommy & Daddy took me to Boo at the Zoo today. Despite the HUGE crowd we had fun and I got to see some of the animals and I even got some trick-or-treat candy from local businesses that had their booths set up around the zoo. "

Emma's Halloween Pictures.

Hello All,

We had Emma’s Halloween pictures taken last Saturday and I got the proofs link tonight….I think they turned out BEAUTIFULLY!!!! Megan, the photographer, gave permission and sent some of the pictures to me so I could put them on our blog. To view all of the pictures she took, just copy and paste this web address in: http://treesandbeesphotography.instaproofs.com and then click on Ladybug Emma. The next screen will ask for a password, type in ladybug and then your email address. Your email address won’t be shared it’s just for the photographer to see how many people are checking the pictures out, etc. I hope you’re as impressed with the pictures as I am!!! Enjoy!!! PS – If you view them using the slide show feature, make sure your sound is on, there is soft music playing in the background.

Take Care,

Eating Jello With A Spoon

On occasion, we've been giving Emma a spoon to eat with. Right now she gets more food on her and her tray than she does in her mouth!!! She knows what the spoon is for, it's just going to take some practice.

Little Dare Devil

Emma thought she would try going 'up' the slide.
Steady.....
Then later on she decided to go 'down' the slide head first. She's quite the little dare devil and she's also learned how to get up on our dining room table!!! She's our little monkey!

A Beautiful Day To Play

Emma making a silly face.
She decided to get in this old tire where all our irises are planted.
Emma decided she wanted to move the pumpkins around on our front porch.

It was a beautiful day to be outside today so we took full advantage of the upper 60's and sunny weather!!!

1st OB Appointment, 10-03-2007

Hi All,

We had our 1st OB appointment this morning and everything seems to be going well. The midwife was unable to locate a heartbeat so they sent us for a fetal heart check by sonogram. Here's a picture we got (sorry that it's not very clear). It shows the heartbeat was 164 beats per minute (which the gal who did the sonogram says that is normally what little girl heartbeats run). She said that the reason the midwife was unable to detect a heartbeat was because the baby was behind my pelvic bone. You can see the baby towards the center of the picture inside the dark "blob." She also said that my dates are correct, that the due date is still at/around April 9, 2008.

Take Care,

Lewis, Sara & Emma

Pet Contest

After the parade they held a pet contest. This was a miniature donkey that Emma wasn't quite sure about. Notice they even painted its hooves.
