I had a second ultrasound this morning. Everette and I both were so excited to see our little baby, though s/he is not so little anymore - s/he did not fit on the screen(!), which is an awesome news, meaning the baby grew!!! That's what everyone was hoping for. The baby weighs a bit over 2lbs. S/he was not very compliant as far as turning his/her face toward us, though we did get a wave at the end :) We both squealed like little kids ourselves when we saw the baby playing with his/her hands and touching the face.
It was hard to tell what was what, as far as belly, brain, etc, but we had a wonderful technician this time (who is expecting herself) and she explained everything to us with patience and understanding. The doctor said everything looks great, baby is developing fine and is growing right on the mark. The cysts that were seen on previous ultrasound dissolved, so we had much better visit this time around. Plus the doctor that we saw was very friendly and funny - he couldn't pronounce my name for the life of him :). Due date is still the same, March 10th.
I have to go see some kids this afternoon i.e. work, even though its snowing like crazy here! But when I am back I'll try to post some 7 months pictures, because today I am 28 weeks :)
Thank you for thinking about us and praying for our baby!

Sunday At Home...
Its already December 14th! WOW. Where did the time go? 11 days till Christmas...I feel like I have so much to do, shopping, baking, cleaning, working, sending Christmas cards ( i am so not good at it! So, if you do not receive one from us this year, do not take it personally - not many people will, if any :)).
We put up a beautiful Christmas tree few days ago, though its not as big as we usually get, we still enjoy it. The fun part is going out in the freezing weather and picking one out. Or may be my favorite part is decorating it while cookies are being baked in the oven. Oh, the Christmas time!
Here is the weekend summary:
Friday night:
Everette - basketball game out of town
Eugenia - work till 8pm.
Saturday:
Everette - basketball tournament all day
- nap
Eugenia - ACT testing ( I was giving the test, not taking one:) )
- nap
Sunday:
-basketball tournament day 2
-cleaning
-grocery shopping. I usually go by myself, but today I went with Everette and oh, boy, it was my shortest grocery trip EVER! I should bring him with me more often - he keeps me on track. In fact, I only bought items on my list - that never happens :)
- we decided to take "power nap" for about 20 minutes before Everette would do his homework and I work on some projects around the house. "Power nap" ended up being "Super Power Nap" for about 3 hours. I figured we better enjoy it before our bundle of joy arrives - I hear three hour naps and quiet Sunday afternoons will be the thing of the past.
-Everette is doing homework, while I decided to ditch my projects and watch some TV, blog, and do some online shopping.
Baby is growing and kicking; last night I felt like someone stabbed me in the ribs. I passed my glucose screening test (to check for gestational diabetes)with flying colors, Praise the Lord! That orange drink they give you to drink within five minutes is NOT as bad as people describe. I was ready for something truly horrible, and its not that bad. Bottom line, do not believe everything you hear. I have an ultrasound on Tuesday morning to check for baby's growth; we truly would appreciate your prayers for a healthy baby. We'll keep you updated.
Have a blessed week!

2 Blogs in One Day...The Cucumber
According to babycenter.com our baby is as long as a cucumber this week, and not any kind of cucumber but an English hothouse cucumber! There!
The cucumber is kicking my guts and does not let me sleep much at night these days. Can't wait till third trimester when I won't be able to sleep at all, when cucumber transforms into a watermelon. But I hear it is all worth it at the end of the journey.

Double Digits and Counting...
I noticed on the baby due date counter that we are in double digits, as of today 98 days to go! Insane. Seems like we just found out we were having a child, and now only 98 days left. Its already December, Christmas is in few weeks...OK. NOW I am getting scared, excited but FREAKED OUT! I better get cleaning before baby arrives, otherwise I am in trouble :)
Thanksgiving went well. We ended up looking thru Black Friday ads, eating a lot, watching movies at home (though I secretly wished we watched football, but the TV went 'bye-bye'), taking two hour nap, eating some more, and going to see the "Twilight". Man, book is much better than the movie (although, I have to admit - they are both cheesy). If you are planning on seeing it, read the book first though!
Black Friday...Went with Everette to Walmart, camcorder we were looking for was sold out two hours earlier (we were there by 7am), ran to Kmart and it was there! Not sure if we got a good deal, but it is the sport of it that counts. Did not get run over by anyone, found a decent parking spot, got home by 7:45am, so I guess that was a successful Black Friday shopping.
