Growth Ultrasound

Well, I've had the privilege of gestational diabetes for the last 5 weeks so that means I get some extra ultrasounds to monitor the size of Baby Rockwell and keep tabs on her progress. Although the extra doctor appointments and food restrictions have been annoying to say the least - it is fun to sneak a peek at her more often than we would normally! So...here are some pictures from my ultrasound today. She is weighing in at around 5  lbs, 6 oz (right on track!) and everything looks great! The doctor had no concerns about her size or development. I know the pictures still look a bit alien, but Chris and I think she is sooo cute (of course!). She also has chubby cheeks and a nice crop of hair forming. Good luck deciphering the photos! :)

Back in the day

Starting this blog got me thinking about how Chris and I started out together - and also about my other blog friend and best friend Carly Pickering. I have some pictures from our first double date with the Pickerings (then a Miracle and Pickering) in Spokane when Chris came out to visit me at college. I also have a picture of probably one of our first dates after we met. I was so embarrassed to take the picture because we just met (and you don't want to be the crazy girl who takes pictures with a guy too soon...) but my friend insisted. I'm glad she did - and now eight years later we are married with a baby on the way! Who knew! :) We all look so young...those were the days. :)

Home Decorating Update

Chris has made a few changes to our home design - he is great with colors and ideas (and painting!). Also, THANK YOU to Chris' parents for the new drapes in the dining room/kitchen area - we love them! Take a look at the emerging nursery, too.
