Doctor's Appointment 7/27/09

We just got back from the doctor's office and are happy to report that there's really nothing to report. Y'know, the whole "no news is good news" kind of thing. The baby's heartbeat was around 158 bpm and the nurse said that this is good and strong. We finally met one of the doctors instead of a nurse practitioner (not that there is anything wrong with those nurses) and she was very nice. The biggest lesson learned today is that Andrea simply need to drink a TON of water. Other than that this was a quick trip to the doctor.

So we have begun week 16 and our next appointment will be week 20. Week 20 is a big deal because it a) marks the half-way point in the pregnancy, b) means we will have the 2nd ultrasound and c) means we should be able to tell if said baby is a boy or girl. Big stuff, eh?

And how has Andrea been feeling? Better! Well, today isn't the best day but she has been feeling better overall. That is good news indeed.

Cheers!

    Yes, the amount of water a pregnant woman is supposed to drink is insane. I feel like I literally spend the whole day filling my water bottle, trying to remember to drink it, and peeing!

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.
