Memo to 'Limb Buds' - 19 weeks (prenatal)
You're a boy! The nausea is gone. The amnio results are good. Although, the doctor does say you have a varices on your umbilical cord. He doesn't seem too worried but we're going to keep an eye on it. I told your dad it's probably my fault for leaning on my desk at work...maybe I was putting too much pressure on it. He says I'm a nutbag. Well, just in case, I've improved my posture over the last week and a half. At the last ultrasound, you had your cord right up against your mouth. Your dad and I think you were trying to repair it...Apollo 13 style...a la Tom Hanks.
In other news, I can feel you kick now so you must be getting some good exercise in there. You should weigh about a half a pound now and be six inches long. One website says that at this point you look like a mango dipped in cheese...nice. I can tell you're getting bigger because it's harder to breathe when I'm lying down and yesterday, after I had chinese food for lunch, my ankles swelled up quite nicely. Some of the many joys of the increased weight in my belly. Now I know what it's like to have cankles...and I love it.

A picture of your wee wee. I'll save this one to show your future girlfriends.

Memo to 'Limb Buds' - 13 weeks (prenatal)
Yes, this is what we call you right now. We first found out about you at 6 weeks...the week you were growing your limb buds and the name has stuck ever since. We don't know if you're a girl or a boy yet so I hope we are not traumatizing you already with this name. Your dad saw you for the first time today on ultrasound. You've come a long way, baby. The first time I saw you was at 6 weeks and you were merely 0.72cm crown to rump. Today, you measured in at 8.3cm. Not bad considering you were 2.18cm just a month ago. Please don't hurt me when you come out! So far, you've changed my eating habits substantially. I currently have an aversion to eating food at home. I prefer fast food or restaurant food. This makes for many stops on the way home from work to Taco Bell, Jack In The Box, chinese food, etc. I hope I will grow out of this soon!
6 weeks 0 days - 0.72cm
8 week 6 days - 2.18cm
13 weeks 0 days - 8.3cm

Big football weekend!
Saturday...Cal versus UCLA. My mom got us all tickets in the nosebleed section. Literally the second row from the back of the stadium. But Cal dominated UCLA...yay!
Sunday...Chargers versus Raiders. We sat in the 6th row at the 50 yard line. Great seats...to see the painful loss to Oakland. Thank you special teams. They obviously rode the short bus up from San Diego. The good news...Chargers offense looked phenomenal. Go Philip Rivers!

This is what Gracie does every time we come home. She is such a nut. Maybe she gets it from Romeo, her birth father.

More celebrity sightings...
Before we left on our Alaskan vacation, we went into SF to see comedian Craig Ferguson (the extremely funny host of The Late Late Show with you know who...Craig Ferguson). It was a hilarious show plus we got the added bonus of seeing 'local comedian' Robin Williams on stage and co-host of Mythbusters, Adam Savage, in the audience.

We missed the first two weeks of football season!
Argh...well, it was worth it because we did go on a great cruise to Alaska. Our adventures along the way included a stop in Seattle to have lunch with Nate's good friend from high school, Jim, and his family (Amanda and little Sam). Then we completed our long travel day with a train ride up to Vancouver. Big thanks to William Shatner for the great deal on the hotel room. I love bidding on Priceline.com! Here are some highlights from our vacation...
Seattle...
Jim and Nate...they don't look a day over 22!
Highlights of Vancouver...
-Celebrity Sighting: Joshua Jackson (aka Pacey from Dawson's Creek, or more recently, Peter from Fringe)
-Kiapalano Suspension Bridge
-Going whale watching and not getting eaten by sharks (hey, we're all afraid of something...ahem...heights)
Hyatt Regency Vancouver
Curling?? Really??
Pacey from Dawson's Creek
The water was cold!
Please...scramble your dogs poopies in a frying pan after you pick them up.
Oh, Canada.
Someone likes burritos!
Kiapalano Suspension Bridge
Nate doesn't like heights. He said he would meet me on the other side and took off. I took my time hanging out on the bridge.
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom has nothing on this!
Thinking we were early for our tour we decided to take some pictures. We realized later that we were supposed to meet at the office to get our survival suits. Ooops.
Got them!
Since we were the last ones to put on our suits, we couldn't sit together.
Killer whales!
Lookin good, Mr. Kotter.
I felt like I was getting on the space shuttle.
We survived!
Grouse mountain
Because somebody (Nate) didn't want to ride up on the ski lift, we hiked to the top of this mountain. Oh well, it was good exercise!
He'd rather face a bear than a treacherous ski lift!
It's not even that high.
Meet you at the bottom, Nate.
This is just how Gracie chews her bone...but hers is plastic and his is from a moose!
Highlights of Alaska...
-People watching the perpetual 'cruisers' and how they really get their money's worth...at the buffet!
-Juneau: Our canoe trip to Mendenhall Glacier was cancelled due to high winds but our replacement excursion, river rafting, was super fun. Plus, we got to wear survival suits again. Bonus.
-Glacier Bay: An absolutely amazing place! Check out the video (down below) to see how awesome these glaciers are.
-Sitka: Riding an ocean raft and seeing otters, porpoises, and bald eagles...and...still not getting eaten by sharks. Contrary to what Nate tried to tell me, there are sharks in Alaska...I Google'd it.
-Ketchikan: Taking a float plane through the mountains and landing on a lake in the middle of nowhere.
Holland America M/S Zaandam. You can imagine all the dam and Van Damme jokes we made during the week.
Not so shocking for an Alaskan cruise, but still a funny picture.
Uhhhh...awesome! Haha.
We worked out 3 times during the week. You can tell by this picture how many other people did the same.
In honor of the Olson twins, "How rude!"
Iceberg, right ahead!
The perfect T-shirt, "I'm on a boat"!
Optical illusion...the glacier behind us is actually way taller than our 9 story ship.
Survival suits again...suweet.
I'm getting used to these.
Nice.
The Alaskan volcano...Mount Edgecumbe.
Otters are sooo cute!
4x4'ing up to the volcano.
I almost hit a couple trees...on the passenger side. Good thing Nate had his helmet on.
Nate's excited. I'm skeptical about planes that take off and land on water.
Does anyone else think this mountain is way too close? Looks like a scene from "Alive".
We landed in the middle of nowhere and it was awesome.
Our pilot.
Don't be embarassed...even veteran air travelers get sick.
The cruise boats were by far the biggest things in Ketchikan.
What the deuce?
Hehe.
Welcome back to Canada!
Highlight of Seattle Airport...
Stedman...Oprah's boyfriend!
Fantasy Football scores so far...
