Ultrasound Photos: 5 mos - It's gonna be a boy!


These are terrible images - the first one is the baby on it's stomach looking down (from the side). You can see it's head and spine.







This one is the baby on it's back - head up - from the side. They labelled the nose and lips. We went to a different clinic (our insurance has changed with Seth's move to a different company). They had an older machine.






And lastly the proof - sort of. Good luck figuring this one out. I still can't. The only reason I believe it is because I was able to see very clearly both of the baby's legs just before the ultrasound was complete. He's definitely a boy. This photo looks like a chicken wing.

Ultrasound Photos - from 6/20/08 about 3 mos




Trip to Gold Beach - Week 18

First week of August: We drove 7 hours south and west to Gold Beach on the Southern Oregon Coast for some much needed r&r. Spent a week in a condo on the beach; daily walks along the beach with the harbor seals and did a couple of amazing hikes. Also went up the Rogue River - on a jet boat - kind of odd to be zooming through huge rapids and not feel anything. Think we both prefer white water rafting. Next time around maybe.

We visited the very cool Prehistoric Gardens along hwy 101. A small park full of life-sized dinosaurs in the rain forest. Has been here since the 70's. I loved it

I'm 18 weeks prego. We'll find out gender (maybe) at week 20.



















Beth: 4 mos prego


Here's a shot of me at 4 mos on our front porch.

More July Activity...

We spent a week with Sylvia - Seth's mom - here in Portland. Lots of time spent pulling weeds - Thanks Sylvia! - you'll be happy to know they've all grown back!

We also managed to get out and visit the Chinese Garden downtown - photos below...






Nesting Activities: Mid-July 2008


Trista and I are honing our domestic skills. We spent the morning picking Willamette Blackberries and Raspberries in the HOT sun and then spent the better part of the HOT afternoon (100 plus degree day...) making jam.


Our jam-making empire has begun...
