US Pictures Sonographer's Will Appreciate

What do ya think Dr. Davis?

These pictures were for my sonographer friends....I posted the cute ones earlier for the rest of you to enjoy - these are just for us geeky lovers of ultrasound.

We had our official ultrasound last Friday. We had it done at Loma Linda and my friend Amanda got to scan me, but first played a little trick on us. I used to help teach the junior class "scan lab" - basically a hands on class where they can learn to scan and just use each other as models (any time they aren't in scan lab we usually just use patient's as test dummies...it's great!), anyway, so we walked into the exam room and about 8 of the new class of students who only have about 2 months of hands-on experience were sitting there in chairs like it was a class. Amanda said "ok we never get OB's at scan lab, so you are model today. Since you used to teach scan lab you get to teach this one" then she walked out the door and left them with me. I was in a little bit of shock but was like "ok let's do it"....so as the patient laying there and teacher on the fly I am trying to tell someone that has never scanned an OB what to do...it was pretty comical until Amanda walked back in about 5 minutes later and said "just kidding". It was a funny trick, she had Jason and I fooled - good one Amanda.

She loves to show off her profile

Here are a couple new pictures of our little peanut. She is actually about the size of a large pomegranite and weighs a whopping 6 ounces...lol! She's still a girl and is growing just like she should be. I can't feel her move yet, but am looking a little pregnant. Much to my dismay, and Jason's entertainment, my dumb belly button is sticking out already! I've always had kind of a finicky belly button that thought it wanted to be half inny-half outy, well now it's letting it's true colors show, and it's actually a bit embarrassing. I guess there are worse things in life but I may have to buy stock in band-aids to hide the thing for a bit.

Getting a little baby bump

Happy Early Thanksgiving

For the past 2 years we have gotten to travel to Surprise, Arizona where Jason's grandparents live, to celebrate Thanksgiving together. Well I am working at the hospital this year on actual Thanksgiving Day so we celebrated the day with a wonderful turkey dinner a little early. We went to Arizona for the weekend a couple weeks ago and had a very nice visit. Jason's grandma cooked us a wonderful meal complete with all the fixings! Probably our last visit to the desert for a while.

Making Apple Crisp...it was yummmmmyyyy!

Dishing up!

Beating Jason at backgammon....he taught us how to play and
then I beat him at his own game, love it!
