What Does A Jedi Dream?

One of the best parts of vacation is sleeping in the same room with G.  We think he is beautiful when he sleeps, especially cuddled with Charkie and his pillow, Dolphie.

Disney World!

We are in our first full day at Disney World.  We woke up before 6:00 am so that we could hear the space shuttle's twin sonic booms, and boy did we ever hear them!  We'll post that once we have the chance to edit it into a format that we can post.  

We are staying at Animal Kingdom Resort, and this place is amazing.  There are things to learn, see, and do everywhere, and we have zebras, giraffes, crowned cranes, and many other things right outside our room!  

When the others went back to sleep after the shuttle landing, I stayed up to watch the sunrise.  The animals were beautiful, and I took some photos.

Sharing their breakfast - aren't they sweet?

Beautiful from every angle.

At the Star Wars section of the Lego store, he was in his glory.

We got to sit in the ice cave at the T-Rex Cafe.

 Still celebrating his birthday.

Do you think he knows what's coming up behind him?

Breeze At The Top

Exercising the baby, Wowo and I have climbed Kennesaw Mountain and are taking a break on our favorite rocks.  There is a slight but nice breeze.  It is very hazy looking out over Atlanta in one direction and Kennesaw in the other.  We saw one beautiful red fawn on the way up, and the birds are chirping.  There is an insect that looks like a bee taking multiple orders of take-out to his hole in the sandy ground between the rocks, and some small creature is nestling in the tall grass behind us.  This is a nice way to spend the early evening.

Our Heartbeats, Together

We had a "first" OB appointment today.  Despite being relatively early, our doc had no trouble finding a good strong heartbeat.  You can actually hear both of our heartbeats together:  mine sounds like an average heartbeat, and Blueberry's sounds very fast, about twice the speed of mine.  Have a listen!

We also have a new due date, based upon our last ultrasound.  It's February 5th, just one day later than the date we'd had until today. 

Doc said that I can ride water slides and roller coasters while we are in Disney World, because of my gestational age.  He said that he knows how cautious I am and that if I want to have a little fun, I should go ahead.  He's very low-stress, low-worry, and that makes us happy.

Locks Of Even More Love

I have been growing my hair for several years, so I could donate to Locks Of Love again.  After hemming and hawing for a few weeks about the perfect time to do it, I finally decided that pregnancy is the perfect time and made my appointment for today.  I think that darker is better for short hair, and we put in some beautiful highlights.  I've already been playing around with it, so it's little messy, but at least you can get the idea:

before - with glasses

after - with glasses

before - no glasses
