You don't realized how many people read your blog until you get emails and phone calls asking why I haven't updated my blog. Well, the reason is because I have been 100% LAZY. I can truely say that this is the first summer that I have got to experience relaxation. No summer school, no masters, no vacation! I have had a couple doctor appointments in the last couple weeks. My first visit to my OBGYN, Dr. Phillips, was on July 2nd. I was so excited to see my baby again. But was shocked and disappointed when all they did was use the doppler to listen to the heartbeat, which was 150 (I think). They do not do ultrasounds right there in her office, but across the hallway with Dr. Rowe (which is whole different appointment). Dr. Phillips was awesome, she sat with us for at least 45 minutes to an hour just talking about all kinds of things. I think because she had lunch after my appointment, so she wasn't in a hurry. We told her about Dr. Schnell's concern of the gestational sac so she wanted us to go ahead and see Dr. Rowe the very next week just to check it. So we did. We went to see Dr. Rowe on July 9th for an ultrasound (YEA...I got to SEE my baby). And boy was he asleep!!! He would not move for anything. So the tech went to get me a capri sun...WOW, he was jumping all over the place within 1 minute. I couldn't believe how well capri sun worked. I was told to drink one before my July 30th appointment to make sure he is awake. YES, that is right, I said HE. After finally waking up, we got to see lots of views of baby. And Dr. Rowe asked if we wanted to know what the sex was. OF COURSE! He said he was 80% sure it was a boy. A few minutes later both hands moved down there and he started playing with his little thing, and Dr. moved from 80% to 85% sure now! Dr. Rowe is awesome by the way. We will get to see him for all ultrasounds, since he works directly with Dr. Phillips. Here are some pictures of the ultrasound:

Ok, this picture is if baby is sitting on glass table and you are looking up from below the table. You can see his legs and the thingy in the middle looks like a pee pee!
This is baby saying HI.
About two weeks ago Rob, me, and the dogs took a trip to Dallas to visit my family for the 4th. We had lots of fun. It was relaxing. My brother grilled for us at his place and we popped some fireworks. I was so excited that my parents agreed to take me and Robby to eat at Joe T Garcia's in Fort Worth and then walk around the stockyards for a while. Then my mom and my 2 nieces came down to visit. Robby and I took them to Schlitterbahn in Galveston. We had lots of fun. I of course couldn't do much except float in the lazy river, which was so much fun. We woke up early and got there when they opened at 10...which is the way to go so you can get a good table right by the water. Robby was a good sport, he was the one that rode all the rides with the Sierra and Cheyenne. Thanks honey. We also took them to Kemah Boardwalk to eat and ride some rides. That place has really grown. Here are some pictures.

Ok, this is my dad. He is wearing Sierra's crazy hat and acting like he always does...goofy! Gotta love him!
