Almost to the home stretch

Howdy all!
Just had another appointment and all is well. The appointments are a lot shorter this time - fewer questions on my part I guess. We're into week 25! Not too much longer to go now!!!

We have all been doing really well. Our latest project is working on Jack's new room. Since we finally finished our basement, we were able to move all our office stuff down to the 'lair' and last weekend we painted that room - it has to have been the worst in the house as far as paint goes. Well, maybe 2nd worst...

Scott picked out a nice color Jack calls "chocholate milkshake" and he thinks the room is "so nice". His new 'big brother bed' is in and we'll go pick it up tomorrow as well as a few more things for his closet (which will be his wardrobe to save space in the room).

Anyway I'll have pictures of it soon, after it's completed. Then we'll have less to do to make a nursery except put the sides back on the crib and move all of Jack's clothes and his shelves to his new room.

Otherwise things have been pretty normal around here. Jack has been in a pottery class, which has been an interesting experience. He still doesn't like to have his hands dirty so he wouldn't manipuate the clay at all (yes, that was mom's job) and as soon as he got any paint on his hand or arm he was done: "wash hands please!". But it you asked him he always had fun and was excited to go back to class. That's what matters! I did get him to do a handprint but we had to kind of bribe him with a sticker to encourage him.

I have been feeling well and really haven't had too many strange cravings or anything like that. The ususal stuff I guess: bread, cheeseburgers, burritos.

Here's what we were doing at this time with Jack (it was Christmastime!)

I'll get some photos up soon, this moving in when we already live here is almost as hard as moving in the first time!

Until next time...

    I'm so glad you're feeling better, Dena. Eat up; it's a blessing to be thin and pregnant--and not to have to worry about the doctor nagging you about your weight! Can't wait to see pics of Jack's room! Mary L.

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...

I'm Gonna Have To Get a Female Cat. . .

Today was our 20 week ultrasound and appointment! Everything is going really well. Baby looks to be about 9 oz in weight and has a good heartbeat of about 132 bpm. But enough stalling! It appears I remain outnumbered in our home now - 3 boys to 1 girl (5:1 if you count our feline friends!). That's right folks, another boy! How many of you were right??? We were able to get a nice "up from the bottom" shot that confirmed the gender. We also took a nice shot of his foot, and his profile. Actually, I think I was in there for 45 minutes and she took about 50 shots of various organs and body parts. We got the two thumb's up from the doctor that he's looking great. I also got some medicine to try if my nausea continues to be a burden. Yes, just today I was feeling sick again. *sigh* Just for comparison I looked up some of the posts from this time with Jack: Nov 2008 Some things are the same: I still can't eat fruit without feeling sick, and I'm dropping thing...
