Early Doctor's Visits and Other Common Questions

ultrasound at about 11 weeks

If you are interested in photos, please see the link to the left marked "Photos that go with this blog." It will take you to other photos that we've uploaded during these exciting months. (So far not so many photos). That way we can keep only recent ones on this page, but you can still see older ones...

Our first two visits were pretty uneventful. Everything seems to be going well. On my second visit we got a second ultrasound (lucky!) because the doctor could not pick up a heartbeat on her doppler device. Not a big deal, as Shrimpy is still quite tiny and seems to enjoy a good game of hide and seek. And we got some nice photos out of it which will be posted soon.

Here are the latest stats:

Our Estimated Due Date: 29 March.

Can you tell Dena's pregnant? She can! If you know me really well and see me often you may be able to tell.

Any cravings? Nothing too off the wall. Typically it is cheese of some kind, or pasta. Once in a while I crave chili cheese tater tots from Sonic, and last week I suddenly craved McDonald's.

Aversions? I have a lot of trouble eating fruit - it makes my tummy hurt!

How do you feel? (This is a favorite question of all people) Generally tired and queasy. And I've become kind of absent minded and forgetful. Yesterday on the phone with Scott I totally lost what day it was in the course of three sentences. Thankfully, it looks as if I am past the weepy stage. That was a nightmare. Even commercials were making me tear up!

April and May....Boy am I behind!

All Smiles....Look What I Can Reach! Cruisin' Another Type of Crusin' Wow, the Spring got away from me, as you can tell by the long time between posts! We have not felt like we had a lot going on, but I guess we have! Jack is doing great, and his potty training is pretty much finished (as much as it can be for a 3 year old I guess). We visited a few Pre-Schools and finally decided on one, and luckily they had room for us! It is really hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that Jack is going to start school - even if it's only two mornings a week! He also got his first bicycle (Lightning McQueen, of course) and he is learning the ropes of riding it. Our neighborhood has a lot of hills so he kind of prefers riding at the State Park where the road is a bit less up and down. Actually, all three of us got new bicycles and we hope to start to ride them as a family once Logan is old enough to wear a helmet and ride in the pull-behind. Baby Buzz (yes, ...

New Ride!

Well, it's no Mustang, but it is black! What we got was a 2009 Pontiac Vibe. At any rate, we both like it. It was a reasonable price for a smaller sized family-with-lots-of-stuff car. It served the purpose of "ease of child seat access" and "can load many groceries plus a dog" into the back. (You should have seen us try to get the rocking chair into the Mustang.) It also serves the gas economy purpose (31/28 advertised) and was not a big SUV, or a minivan. I have never been fond of driving huge cars or trucks! It looks like a five door hatchback to us, but I guess it is technically listed as a "wagon." Some things go full circle, eh Mom? Maybe a bit cooler than the Corona Wagon we drove in Texas, or whatever it was called. Sorry the photo isn't super great, it's raining and cold so I pretty much didn't want to go out of the garage. There are some more photos on our Flickr account (see link to right "other photos...") It act...

4th of July and Other Buzz News

Greetings to all! I have finally had time to upload some more photos for Flickr and the blog and can keep you up to date on the Buzz around our water cooler, so to speak. :-) We've had a busy 2 months! Nonie and Papa Sudar came to visit for a few weeks at the end of June and through the 4th of July. We all had a good time. We spent a few days down in Walsenburg with most of the Tressells which Jack really enjoyed. And we really enjoyed the small break from constantly watching Jack! Thanks everyone!! Catch Papa! Bubbles in Walsenburg Cousins Making Cookies! Since we've been back we have been working on getting all the stuff in our garage either back into the basement, into the trash, or ready for donation. Our goal is simple: both cars inside by winter. Hopefully we can make it happen! So far things are going pretty well with Baby Buzz. We went to the doctor's last week for an ultrasound because I was measuring small (just like last time). This time I guess Buzz is a li...
