Since I know no one visits this page to see me, just the baby...
here is the ultrasound from Tuesday,
when I was 17 weeks and 3 days.
He barely fits on the screen anymore.
Now he measures about 12 cm from head to butt.

Dang dog!
We had a traumatic morning. Dennis and Gipper and I went to Lexington to spend the weekend with Jacob and Kelly. Early this morning I heard the dog whining, so I let him out. Then I closed him in the back porch. I tried to go back to bed, but I felt bad that he was locked in there, so I opened the screen door so he could run around the yard a bit. The yard has a fence. A couple of hours later, Dennis went to call the dog, and he was gone. Apparently he managed to wiggle out under the gate and run off. Dumbass. So we spent about 3 hours driving and walking around the neighborhood looking and calling for him. He has a tag on his collar with a website where he's registered. Unfortunately, the phone number is our home number. And of course we can't remotely access the answering machine.
But then, the clouds parted, and D remembered that we may have also put an email address on there. Woohoo! A neighbor 2 blocks away had found him and emailed us! I have never been so happy and mad at the same time! I guess it doesn't hurt that he's such a friendly dog, so they didn't mind taking him in. For a while I was so upset I swear I was having chest pains!
And now of course he's just passed out from exhaustion. He had a tough morning, I guess. Not nearly as tough as ours.
I hope if he decides to run off again, he does it in our neighborhood instead of a strange city! 
What?

Diapers!
I've spent all day looking at cloth diapers on-line. They are so cute! And no longer do you need to dunk them in the toilet and all that nasty crap. Plus they would save us a lot of money--apparently it's about $2500 for disposables for one baby--yuk! But, I don't think the daycare we'll be using will accept cloth diapers. I'll just have to talk Dennis into staying at home with the baby then...
Happy Heiny!

Yesterday's ultrasound
14 weeks 3 days
profile of the little man
Hard to tell, but he's pulling on the cord in this picture.
His head isn't measuring too large (yet). Keep your fingers crossed.
13 weeks 5 days
These are from last Thursday:
Our sweet little alien baby
Yup, it's a boy! (and he's not shy)Finally!
Since Dennis' laptop has been held hostage at the repair shop, I haven't had much chance to scan anything--because now he's hogging the desktop all day. Plus, hey, I'm tired. Who am I kidding?
These are from about 2 weeks ago, July 5th I believe (12 weeks, 4 days):
The whole baby still fits on the screen.

Rounding out the 1st trimester...
and I'm finally feeling a little better. Not so much nausea, and I've been able to eat a little more variety. I'm not as exhausted, either. And even though I'm not really showing yet I'm totally uncomfortable all the time. I've really been eyeing the Snoogle:
I'm trying to hold out and continue the 5-pillow method for now. The sooner I give in, though, the more I'll get my money's worth, right? Right.

Back to work.
Well, we're back from a weekend of visiting in New Jersey. And I am tie-yurred. up at 3:45 this a.m. to fly back. Thank goodness there's not much of anything strenuous going on for me at work today.
I will get around to posting the latest baby pics sometime. But maybe not till tomorrow or so. You'll just have to wait.

Happy 5th!
We had a little family cookout yesterday.
The Gipper likes marshmallows.
Daddy does, too. 
We did a little bit of harvesting...
and pickling!

Tomorrow
Well, my first official appointment is tomorrow morning. Not that I actually have an appointment, since we work in the same office.
Honestly not looking forward to it. I guess if I want to get spoiled with my weekly ultrasounds, I've gotta put up with a little unpleasantness. Doing it for the baby. And we'll probably do an ultrasound tomorrow, too.
I'm so ready for this first trimester to be OVER. I just keep thinking, "maybe I'll feel better tomorrow."
I'm pathetic.

Ugh.
Okay, can I just gripe a little? Today has been the most miserable day thus far of this pregnancy. I'm just exhausted and nauseated and bloated and worthless. This morning we had a class in Basic Life Support (aka CPR), which was a total waste of time. Basically it involved sitting around watching a video, then practicing chest compressions on a little plastic guy. For 4 hours. Even though this doesn't sound strenuous, I found it draining. Then we all went to lunch at my very favorite restaurant, El Mazatlan, but even that hurt my tummy. So I went home to take a little lunchtime nap. That lasted a few hours. oops. I feel bad because I should have been getting some work done or something, but I'm too dang tired. I did finally get up and drive in to help Mark out for a couple of hours. I guess I owe him, although I'd rather not admit it! And now I'm lying around being worthless again.
Dennis was going to make some stir-fry with our fresh snow peas, but I can't even imagine eating that. And I know it's yummy, but the tummy says no. So what's a girl to do? Maybe eat some Nilla wafers. Maybe. If I don't eat something soon I'll probably feel worse.
I was just hoping that I'd been through the worst of the first trimester nausea and fatigue, but apparently not yet. I just have to keep reminding myself that I'm tired because everything is going to the baby's growth, right?
And at least I'm only in clinic once this week, which is a treat. Except I'll have to sit through ACLS (Advanced Cardiac Life Support) and NRP (Neonatal Resuscitation) instead. I don't know which is worse... All I really need is a comfortable place to sit every once in a while, but that seems to be too much to ask.
Alright, I'm done griping now.
Okay, who am I kidding? I never really stop.

Happy Father's Day!
It's been a pretty good day--I delivered an 8&1/2 lb. boy! Quite a cutie! So his family's having a very nice Father's Day. And now I need a nap. So does the baby's momma, I'll bet.

Another milestone
I bought my first maternity clothes today, which is weird. I've only gained about 3 pounds, and yet none of my clothes fit anymore. Must be redistributing. I've gotta say, love the stretchy belly maternity pants! I could wear those pants year-round.
In related news, I'm now 25% through my 40 weeks! woohoo.

Can the dog sense it?
I'm just wondering if the dog knows that I'm pregnant. He's certainly been acting a little strange lately. He's following me around all the time, even more than previously. Even this weekend, when we had guests at the house, he snuggled me continuously. Maybe it's because I've been letting him up on the bed with me, which he definitely likes. It's pretty cute, though; he's like my own little personal guard doggie.
"Back off!"
