Doctor's Appointment 6/29/09

And....we're back.  You may have noticed that there was a gap between the last blog and now.  For this I apologize and I would like to explain that our summertime mayhem in the form of weddings has begun.  I (Cody) just returned from Florida as the best man in my friend's wedding and Andrea is leaving for another wedding in Minnesota tomorrow.  Two weeks later we leave for a third wedding in California.  So, our summer blogging may be a little bit thin, but rest assured that we'll get back on track :)

Also, Andrea may not be posting blogs here very often because she started another blog.  This is good stuff and she blogs OFTEN so I encourage you to pay it a visit: http://www.babystepstomom.com. 

Anyway, we found ourselves in the doctor's office again on Monday for our 3rd appointment.  We had no idea what was going to happen in this appointment beforehand.  We simply were told to make an appointment a month ago and we dutifully complied.  Andrea's big anxiety was a blood draw and, fortunately for her, there was no poking and prodding this time. 

The main event during this appointment was listening to the baby's heartbeat.  The nurse came in with a miniature ultrasound machine that looked more like a walkie-talkie to me. With gel applied the nurse began her sonic hunt for a tiny heart.  Let me tell you something, this took a while.  It took so long that I was starting to wonder what was going on.  However, she soon found it and we were then listening to a heart beating at 161 bpm. What an experience!  If you read Andrea's blog you will get to read her thoughts.  The end result, though, is that this all felt a little more real when we left.

The Alleys: Est. 11/11/2007

Andrea is a mom to two "fur-babies," an amateur seamstress and homemaker a la Martha Stewart and Rachael Ray, a connoisseur of imported beers, an upcoming barista and restaurant manager, a Petlane Pet Advisor, an Icelander at heart, an occasional vegetarian, and a self-proclaimed correcter of grammatical errors (a.k.a. "grammar Nazi"). The intensity of her beauty is matched only by the passion she has for life. And she loves her husband more than life itself (yes, Cody wrote that part).

Cody is 100% lovable nerd and a budding musician. He is a thoughtful theologian, cultural critic, artist at heart, movie trivia buff, and fellow dog lover. He loves adventure, travel and seeking out everything that God has planned for him, which may or may not be his day job as an Academic Advisor at ASU, but it's a good way to pay the bills for now. His biggest desire is to go to seminary (although this really depends on the day) and his sense of humor is one of many things that others love most about him. He takes amazing care of his wife and their "fur-kids" (though he prefers to be called a "dog owner." Whatever.). He loves his wife more than life itself (he wrote that all on his own).

Together, the Alleys are navigating this thing called life by seeking out the Lord's guidance and wisdom. They love getting to know each other more and more every day. There is so much to learn and experience and this is where you'll find their journey.
