Baby Bump

We haven't taken a lot of pictures of me pregnant, but last Saturday I woke up and actually remembered to take at least one picture. Here I am at 27.5 weeks...very tired!

Puppy Sneakahs

Otis' paws were getting tore up from running on the hot concrete, so we got him some puppy sneakahs to wear when we run him. He looks so funny walking around in them when he puts them on! We have video of when he first had them on...I'll try to put it up sometime.

A Published Author

My husband has another paper published! The title is a mouthful:
TAXONOMIC AND ECOLOGIC PERSISTENCE ACROSS THE ONSET OF THE LATE PALEOZOIC ICE AGE: EVIDENCE FROM THE UPPER MISSISSIPPIAN (CHESTERIAN SERIES), ILLINOIS BASIN, UNITED STATES

Here's the link for his abstract.

A Baby Quilt

I started a baby quilt using the Double Irish Chain pattern and it's almost done! I still have to baste the quilt together, quilt it, and sew on the binding. I've never done these steps all by myself! So this part will probably take me a while. I need ideas for the actual quilting part. You got any? Swirls? Stitch in the ditch? Small squares? I sure don't know. It would be nice to have a fellow quilter in Houston to quilt with...
The front.
The back.

Good News

We had our second ultrasound today! We got the good news that my placenta has moved to where it should be! We're so happy for that good news. Today, our little girl wanted to keep her arms up by her head, so we couldn't get a full 3D shot of her face. But enjoy anyway. She's got full lips, a cute nose, and her cheeks are filling out...and they're only going to get bigger! Oh dear.
