Where's the Baby??

THERE S/HE IS:
What happened?! Well.... on our second month on Clomid I went in for my blood test to see if I had ovulated and it came back negative. Very discouraging. Apparently my progesterone level was at .7 when just the month before it had been 29. Durn it all. I went in to talk to my doctor to talk about 'options'. It was looking like we'd take one more go round on the Clomid, though at a double dose, and then after that it would be on to a specialist. Seeing as I hadn't ovulated my dr. prescribed Provera to bring on my cycle- but before I could start that I would need to take a standard blood pregnancy test. Ya'll are seeing where this is going... right? I called in for the results and my lovely doctor let me know that the test had come back positive! After having 4 or 5 blood tests to make sure my levels were rising appropriately we got to have our first glimpse at the little.... yolk sac. Hmm. A week later we got to have another sonogram to make sure that the pregnancy was viable. Our little Jelly Bean was just visible! And yesterday- we saw our jumping bean. The baby seems to have grown so much! It is amazing to see little arms and legs waving all over and the tiny heart beating so quickly. With the crazy circumstances of actually getting pregnant- they still haven't tagged one specific due date. I'm gonna go with April 2 since we've been dated anywhere from March 30-April 6. Love to all- and we'll keep you posted.

The Twinkle in his/her Father's eye: If you look at this picture sideways- it looks more like an eye and eyebrow than a baby....

Our little Jelly bean: It looked like most of it was just a beating heart!

Yesterday's portrait: These pictures aren't transferring on here very well... but I hope you can make out the head, body and legs.

Do Not Attempt.

For Labor Day, Nathaniel decided to take me out someplace that we have never been before. FREDERIC, MD. Well. As it was a holiday most stores and restaurants were closed with the exception of every "novelty" shop and pub. Uh huh. We quickly strolled up and down the streets (Nathaniel was a champ on his now less-gimpy knee) looking for something decent to look at. The first think we found was this little bridge. Ahh, aren't we sweet?

This... well. This was just interesting. And of course Nathaniel naturally had to mimic this tortured mural man.

Then... it was our turn to be tortured. Not having found a decent place to eat in all of the 'downtown' we decided to eat at a restaurant called Roy Rogers. I was entirely intrigued as I had never heard of the place before! Would they serve Shirley Temples too?? Never did I imagine that it was a sick, twisted, and worse version of a KFC and Arctic Circle in one. However, Nathaniel posed perfectly for this picture:

The feast that should not have been:

Call out to the birthday girl...

TAMAR! Happy 30th!


<-- Caption "Sis, it seems like just yesterday you were a little boy."

I'll get a picture of Tamar as a child on here soon. ;)
