33 Weeks!

Getting there slowly! Now when the baby moves around its not just in one place in my belly its over here aaand over there, like a wave.
Oh yes, and Bern, notice the pillow cover...lol



Didn't like this pic as well but its funny what got caught on the tv in the back...

Going Walking

We take Radar for a walk every day that it isn't raining. I think we have had one or two days we've had to skip because of the rain but we don't skip for any other reason. If I have to work Chris takes him but Radar does best when we both take him. He likes to stall alot more and when its only one of us taking him for a walk, so we thought that was funny. One day I had to leave them and I looked out the window and saw them walking and it was the cutest sight!


And here is Radar all tuckered out after our walk tonight...

a couple days shy of 30 WEEKS

Here we are! Almost thirty weeks along! boy oh boy I feel big and I can't believe I will only be getting bigger. I've been out of my regular scrubs since about 24-25 weeks and I look at them and think, "I can't believe I ever fit into these or any of my other clothes for that matter." I have to go do a three hour glucose test tomorrow. How boring because I have to sit there in the lab waiting room for all that time with lab draws after each hour.
Yay for baby Roman getting bigger though :) I can't wait for his furniture to arrive so I can start decorating and organizing his room!
oh yes, and just kidding about no accidents with the puppy. We've have a few now but I think he is learning. He is just a baby so I'll give him a break. He is doing really well for how young he is.

Its a Boy :)

We got a puppy! This is "Radar!" I think he looks like an Indiana Jones but I don't want to call him that and I don't want to shorten and call him Indi so...radar it is. He was born July 3rd and he is a welsh corgi. He is so sweet! We got him Sunday and so far no accidents in the house and he isn't whiney at all.



Stay tuned...time for another belly pic!

26 almost 27 weeks

I saw Roman this week on ultrasound...they were taking a closer look at his heart and the doc said so far it looks great but when he is born it could change because the pressures in the heart change and something that we don't see now could show up...but i'm not worried, he looks great now so I'm good with that. I got a couple pics too but his daddy took them to work to hang on his board to show off so I'll have to post them later when I get them back. Roman was a two pounder and measured perfectly as 26 weeks. So here I am all pregnant and stuff!

Resurrection Bay/Seward, AK

We traveled down to Seward on Sunday, about a 2 1/2 hour drive from us, and went on a dinner cruise. We crusied on Resurrection Bay to Fox Island for dinner and saw the wildlife along the way. We were quite fortunate to see so much on the 3 hours tour. The weather was perfect and we saw Bald Eagles, Orca whales!!, & I saw a Puffin but didn't get a picture of him. This was a big deal to see the whales because people don't always get to. Even the crew and captain of our boat were freaking out because when we docked for the dinner the whales swam inland to our boat and under the dock, it was soooooo cool. I was in shock and didn't get a picture of it but I was standing on the dock and three were all in a line swimming straight at us.



On the boat ready to go!
And going...




Chris spotted this Eagle far off and then it flew right above our heads! I was just watching it and then was like, Oh I should take a picture! They said there are a pair of Eagles for every mile(?) I think of shore line in the bay. We saw another eagle in the nest on shore and I suppose this one was out getting their food.


The Whales!




Skipping rocks after supper.

What is sightseeing without buying a little something at the gift shops? Of course, for Roman lol One from Memaw Popham and one from his mommy :)

Matanuska Glacier

Chris's parents are in Alaska and we've been doing some sightseeing. This is the Matanuska Glacier. It is a couple hours drive northeast of where we live. It is a 27 mile long Glacier that goes back into the Chugach Mountains. You can go to a place and get on the glacier but its a little dangerous so we didn't go. In some spots they say it reaches 10,000 feet and at its widest is 4 miles. It used to occupy the entire valley you see here.



Also a pretty stream we saw along the way. The water is very blue and lovely which makes me believe it is glacier water.

It helps to click on the pictures to make it bigger so you can see the detail of things better.

Our Little Corner of the World

Finally a few pictures of our new casa. We live in a quad-plex, we got lucky and got one on the end and on the corner of the street.

This is the front arctic entry way...fancy for two doors I think lol

To the immediate right there is the front den (taken from above) Roman's rocking chair too that will go in his room later.

To the left are the stairs.


Straight ahead is the other den.

Off that is the kitchen.


And the dining area.


The upstairs are the bedrooms and laundry closet. Our room isn't much too look at right now. We still need a dresser and stuff so it looks bare.
This is Roman's room right next to our room.
There is Mr. Bear in the window waiting for the bees to get there so he can steal the honey. (I'm going to do his room in bees)

Everything is white and we aren't going to paint anything because we would have to paint it back white and that doesn't sound fun. We will only be here for 2 1/2 years so we decided "no".
