Ultrasound Today

Here are baby's first pictures. I had my ultrasound today!

.

.

Here, the baby is looking at you.

.

.

This is just a picture of the baby's foot.

.

.

Here, the baby is looking at you again. Its right hand is up by its face.

.

.

And here is baby's profile. It really didn't want to give us this picture. It wanted to look at us the whole time. And it was very active. Are we going to have a hyper baby on our hands??

Love,

Baby bedding

I've been trying to find some crib bedding that I like. I knew I needed something neutral, since we're not finding out what we're having. But I didn't want Disney characters. I didn't want frogs. And I didn't want a jungle safari theme.

I finally found some that I like! And here it is:

One of My Favorite Christmas Movie Scenes

Hey, Prairie Bride, Let's Go to Vegas

My job sent me to a conference in Las Vegas.

.

The conference kept us busy (some days we'd start at 6 am and not be done until 8 pm).

.

But we did take a couple of evenings off to see the city. And we went to see Mamma Mia, which was great.

.

Below are the ornate ceilings at the Venetian, where our conference was held..

And here are the canals at the Venetian..

Here's the strip at night:.

And the famous dancing fountains at the Bellagio..

This is the hotel Paris..

The pictures below are actually inside. It's a painted sky. They must do that to keep you from realizing what time it is, so you'll keep on gambling.

.

Again, this is inside. It's very convincing in person, too.

.

Oh, and I met Whoopie Goldberg. As you can see, we're, like, BFFs forever.

Okay, I didn't really meet Whoopie. That's a wax statue outside Madame Tussaud's.

Prairie Bride Gets a New Ride

That's right!

.

I've finally gotten my first NEW car!!

.

.

Here I am, saying goodbye to my old car, Betty.

Goodbye, Betty. You were a good car to me. I'll miss you.

I know you're going to a good home.

.

.
Hellooooooooooooooo, beautiful.

What does six years of near-poverty while going to school do to a girl?

This.
