Stupid internets...

Apparently according to Dan the poll is being sketchy so if all else fails you can comment on what you like best or even do a write in vote that way. I guess Dan's vote isn't getting properly counted so I don't know who else is having a problem with it but hooray for technology?

Sorry!

I know I said I would try and be consistent with the updates, I suck. So since you last heard from me we've gone in for a couple doctor visits. The ultrasound was good and I've finally started to gain weight. I've put on somewhere between 6 and 8 pounds total which is a bit low but I seem to be gaining more consistently now. Her heartbeat was 145 at the last appointment and my bp is the same as always, about 108/68. The next prenatal appt is on august 4th where we'll be doing the gestational diabetes test and possibly the Rhogam shot. There's been some disagreement as to whether I'm positive or negative, so when they draw blood for the diabetes test they'll be trying to sort that out.

We've also had the fun of dealing with me having a short bout of stomach flu and a UTI but thankfully all that has cleared up and I'm back to being perfectly healthy-ish. Also, since we found out it's a girl we've been throwing around some names. We're mainly looking at derivatives of Lily for a first name so we've sort of taken to calling her that.

So to apologize for my sporadic posting, I'm including all kinds of pictures today. First there's the 20 wk ultrasound which I've been hesitant to put up because she looks like skeletor, it's just kind of creepy. I've also included some pictures of Lily's current haul of baby stuff. We've had some friends get us some really cute things so thank you to: Trish and mom, Lindsay, Dianne, Katherine, Kat, Aubrie and Jimmy, Dan's mom, Aunt Marilyn, Dr. K and the lab (for the crib!), Tom and Laura, Erin, and anyone else who has contributed. You all rock! The pictures are of, her clothes drawer - Dan and I have hit a few garage sales too so as long as she comes out normal newborn size we have plenty of clothes for the first three months, the cute hooded towel Lindsay bought that has a green and orange cow on it, the cute blankets and straight jackets (sleep sacks) we've gotten, and the glider rocker I got for fifty bucks from CL (score!). There's also a pics of me wherein I look like crap because it's too hot and my eyes are really irritated.

I'm hoping to catch some video of her doing kung fu later so I can post that up on here, but we'll see. I knew she was a girl before the u/s because the moment I start paying attention she stops doing stuff so hopefully I'll be able to get some video later.

Other than that we're just generally getting by. We hit the farmer's markets almost every Saturday, I'm working on a new project in the lab, Dan's interviewing for a few different jobs so we figure by the end of next week he'll be starting work. I suppose that's all for now.
