2nd Doctor's Appt

Sorry, no new pictures this time around. Something about the insurance won't pay for a new picture everytime.

Basically, Brad had his blood taken (twice) and they listened to the baby's heart rate. She said that everything looked great. We are scheduled for our next appointment on July 27th at 3:30pm with Dr. Jeffrey Marks at the new Westchase location (within walking distance from the house).

Next Appointment

Our next appointment is coming up this week on Thursday! We'll be bringing the digital camera to this one, so hopefully the doctor will let us use it and we'll have all new pictures of Baby X!! The book says Baby X is the size of a lemon now.

This Saturday we'll be doing some real maternity clothes shopping on the way to the beach!

Books for Baby

We were talking this weekend about books we loved when we were little and we're coming up with a list of books we want for the baby. Jessica's favorite baby book was Clifford the Big Red Dog and I remember Mr. Pine's Purple House and Curious George, and we both loved Dr. Seuss.

We're interested in hearing from you:

1. Baby books you love. Classics and newer ones for those in touch with what is popular now.
2. For parents, which of our old baby books are in storage? Time to break into the garages and attics!

We'll also be going through what we have (we have some Madeline books and a couple others) and we'll post that too.

Sad News

Today, my Grandfather, Albert Josef Lombardo passed away in his sleep after battling a slow decline for several years. He was 1 month shy of turning 95.

He will be missed!

Father's Day

My first Father's Day gift! A big thank you to Mom and Dad Loewy for the wonderful picture frame! Next year it will be Father's Day with a baby!

Thanks Lucia

Thanks Lucia for the new maternity clothes! These are my first new clothes that don't dig into my stomach. Plus, I have room to grow into them. I have been dreading getting maternity clothes because they look so uncomfortable with the big bands, but these are really comfortable. The two pants fit great, the shirt is a little big now, but will be nice in a couple of months!

Thanks for thinking of me and my growing stomach.

Lots of love

Week 11 Update

Popi called today to check on the preggers mom! Lucia called the other day as she had found the cutest little girl outfit and wondered if she should buy it! Haha!

I am having a rough couple of days. I have had several trips to the bathroom today and am still really tired. Also, my new job descriptions at work have added to my difficult week, along with Brad being in Dallas. Sierra just doesn't provide enough support when you are feeling bad. I can't wait for the 1st trimester to be over! I think we have about two more weeks.

We started watching baby shows on TV, this is a good look at what it might look like when we bring the baby home. It seems that a lot of women have trouble with breastfeeding. I think we will ask the Doc about classes we can take before the baby comes.
