Here's proof...

Cookie Pockets at ~18 weeks

Cookie Pockets' belly is getting larger!

It's impressive how much her belly is growing these days. I'll try to post some pics this weekend when we get a chance. We went to the doc last week and everything looked to be doing well. We had another ultrasound that I videotaped, but this one was a bit blurry since the camera doesn't auto-focus on the CRT very well.

I hope y'all are doing well!

Hurricane Ike in Austin

We went out to Lake Pflugerville for a walk and some kite flying on Sunday, the day after Ike made landfall near Galveston. Other than a nice cloud cover yesterday, this wind is about all that we received from the storm.

We go to the Doc on Thursday, so perhaps we'll have an update with more baby info soon. Oh, yeah, that reminds me...for future reference, I highly recommend taking along a camera with movie capabilities to the ultrasound. I wish I had for the 1st one, but I smartened up for the 2nd one last month. It is SO COOL to be able to watch the lil' guy/gal move around when you get back home!

"LFoD": NH's State Motto

Yea! The internets are working tonight, so and I can finally upload the pictures I found last night.

BTW, we go to the Doc on Thursday, and he's supposed to do a Doppler exam on Baby.


We saw many beautiful waterfalls! This is one from the Flume Gorge area.


This is in front of Jackson Falls about 0.5 miles from our hotel. Absolutely beautiful!

From the top of Bald Mountain, looking over at Cannon mountain (on the right). This was our first day of partial sunshine, and it got a wee bit warm (~80F) hiking up the mountain.

"Live Free or Die"

We got to take a wonderful little trip up to NH where we found much beauty and enjoyment. My internet is being picky, so I'll put more pictures of our trip in the near future, but here's a start:

Lake Winnipesaukee

Cookie's first round of chowdah!

The 1st Photograph

Here's the lil' "guy"! Seeing the movement in real time was amazing! You could see his little arms and legs moving around, and he even rotated for us. I'm kicking myself for not taking a video camera to the appointment...

Flower Admiration

Our Red Rocket Crepe Myrtle is on fire! I'm glad we held out for this cultivar...

Our 7ft tall sunflower has finally decided to open up. The cool thing is all of his little buddies are soon to open up as well. CP finally agrees that they are pretty.
