Late July update!

OK my bimonthly blog post. I hope to get more regular as I have more to update!

On a sad note, we lost our beloved dog Jake the Wonder Dog after 16 years. He was an amazing dog and we are just so blessed to have had him in our lives for 16 wonderful years. We all know that he is in a better place - running around in doggie heaven with his old friends Missy and Jenny and of course chasing squirrels and rabbits!

Now onto happier news: on the baby front, I had my monthly doctors appointment last week and all was well! Listened to the heartbeat again and that is always amazing! In addition to the heartbeat, you could hear all this sloshing noise and my doctor said that was "the baby moving all around" in there! We have our 2nd ultrasound July 31st and they should be able to confirm the babies sex by the, plus that is the ultrasound where they do tons of measurements and can confirm the due date more accurately. I am just barely starting to show a tiny little baby bump. In the mornings its barely noticeable, but after lunch and dinner it sticks out a bit more. I have only gained about 6 lbs, so happy on that front. I will post a side view picture once I get them downloaded off of our new digital camera!

Last week Trey and I were both in Southern California for work. So we had Sunday to spend at the beach and driving up Pacific Coast Highway. It was nice to get away from the Texas heat for a few days! I also visited a supplier in San Jose, which was a beautiful area and amazing weather! We also celebrated Trey's 33rd birthday July 10th. We went to his favorite restaurant Kobe Steaks and then had a small party that weekend with close friends, just grilling and swimming!

This week I am going to visit family up north, so again it will be nice to get away from the Texas heat for a few days. Trey is traveling again this week for work, but next week he starts a new position as IPT Lead / Program Manager of a new development program here at Raytheon. He is very excited and its great for us both because he won't be traveling as much for the new position. Hope everyone is enjoying their summers and staying cool!
