Marcie has been having more (and stronger) contractions since the Nov 11th, now we're just waiting on Baby !!!

On the Nov 11th, Marcie's co-workers gave her another shower where we got many nice things.

On Nov 10, We went to Doctor Spurlin's office for a regular checkup, and she said Marcie was dialted 2-3 cm, and told her to go home and rest!!

On the Nov 8th, we finally broke down and got a stroller/car carrier thing.  This was our present from Joan, but we picked it out.

We went to the last ultrasound on Oct 29, Marcie's boss Kaye went with us.  Here are the two pictures we got:
 

Baby has it's hand to it's face, look closely!
 
Use your Imagination, it's looking straight at you
 
We've gone to our last Lamaze class on Oct 20, very interesting for sure!!!

We had a family-given baby shower on Oct 17, got lots of nice stuff, including 13 crib blankets, six of which were hand-made!!

On Oct 16th, I took the day off and finished the Baby's room (at least the painting portion!), as soon as we get some pictures of it, I'll put one up.

In Late September, I took some photos when Marcie went to the Doctors office for a checkup, here they are:

Well, we've had our first trip to the Hospital:  On Oct 12, Marcie was feeling very bad, was having some "contraction-like" symptoms, so we went to the Hospital for some monitoring.  Everything was alright, and we went home after about 3 hours.

On October 10, we FINALLY got started on the Baby's room.  Here's some advice - don't wait until late to do the work . . .

 On September 15, we went to our first Lamaze class. It was kinda strange, somewhat interesting, and definetly odd!

 Well, we were sitting at the house on July 11, and we saw something totally amazing: We saw the Baby kick (Marcie's belly looked funny like that!!!) I felt the Baby move, and we could even feel the Baby's head. . . OK, that was kinda weird, but neat none the less! Neat, Huh??
 
On July 14, we went to another standard Doctor visit, and we got to hear the Baby's heartbeat again. That is really neat!!

On July 7, we went for the real Ultrasound, and here's the picture:
(sorry, I don't know how to put the video footage on!)
 

19 weeks 3 days

 Well, we went to a friends' wedding, and here's a picture of Marcie and our friend Tammi before she had Rachael:

Marcie & Tammi
By the way, Tammi had the Baby four days after this photo was taken!

 On May 11th, we went to Marcie's next Doctor visit, and we got to hear the Baby's heartbeat !!! It was a very strange sensation to stand there listening to our child and not be able to see it or touch it, very strange indeed. A lady at our church gave Marcie her first maternity clothes Sunday, and Marcie was excited.

 Marcie's boss gave her an old stethescope, and we've been trying to hear the heartbeat on our own, but evidently we aren't doing something right! If you have any suggestions, please email us!

 Well, on April 9, we had a "quickie" ultrasound, and here's the pictures:
 

Here's the first one, between the "+" signs
7 weeks 0 days
Here's a close-up, also between the "+"signs
7 weeks 0 days

You can't see it in this photo, but it's little heart is "just a gittin' it!!".

 We've been to our first Doctor visit, but we did not get to hear the Baby's heartbeat nor did Marcie have an ultrasound. Hopefully, we will get both during the next visit.

 
Our Friends:
Our friends Jessica and Kenny in Georgia are also going to have a Baby, and Jessica and Marcie are both due at the same time, within a week of each other!! We are VERY excited for them and wish them well.

 The last time I talked with her she was doing fine. She has also had an ultrasound and got to hear the Baby's heartbeat, she was very excited about that!

 Jessica said she has begun to feel the Baby kick, and they seem to be excited about it as much as we are!

Jessica emailed me the other day, she said, "We're still waiting, even though the drs. keep saying anyday now.  Kenny says we are "in a holding pattern, circling the runway waiting for clearance to land".".  We wish them good luck.  What would the chances be that both babies are born on the same day?!?!

 Another friend, Tammi and Scott Hudson, are also expecting, and Tammi is due in late June. She is going to have a little girl, and we all hope that she looks like Tammi (sorry Scott!).

 Tammi is doing fine, and the last time I saw her she looks like she has a volleyball stuck under her shirt!!

 

On July 1, 1998, at about 4pm, Tammi gave birth to

Rachael Anne Hudson,

7 pounds 7 ounces, 10 fingers and 10 toes.

I talked to Tammi on July 6th, and she said they were all doing just fine. We sure are happy to see her and talk to her, and we can't wait to see the new Baby!

 On July 7, me & Marcie visited Tammi, Scott, and Rachael. She's so little and cute (Rachael, I mean), and Tammi and Scott were both very proud of her. She has black hair like her mommy. We wish them all the best!

 One day, Tammi, Scott, and Rachael stopped by for a visit. Rachael is six weeks old in these two photos:
