12 Weeks and 5 Days

Well, I had my twelve week check-up, and the Doctor said everything looks great!! Thank GOD!! We have been on pins and needles. I have been going to the Dr. every two weeks so now he said I just have to come once a month like normal. I think he was having me come every two weeks so he could keep a close eye on me because of last time. Zachary went with me, as always, but he was really excited because the baby finally looks like a baby on he got to see her kicking her feet and waving her arms. She would be looking straight at us and then flip over and then flip back to looking at us. Zach was convinced she was looking for him. He was laughing the whole time because he can see that it really is a baby. I was a little nervous for this visit, because two weeks ago after my last visit they took me off all of my med's cold turkey!! So I was afraid to have to wait the full two weeks to make sure everything was okay. I don't feel like we are out of the dark yet, but everytime we go to the doctor I feel better and better. That's all for now. Hopefully we won't wait so long to post next time. We just aren't that interesting so we don't have much to say. Thank goodness for the pregnancy or we would probably never have anything to post about.

Talk to you later,

In Da Club

We went up to Vegas on Sat nite to celebrate Amber's 21st birthday. The nite started out with a nice dinner at BJ's with pizza and beer. You know nothing major. Then our group of Adam, Amber, Traci and myself crossed the street to go gamble at the Red Rock casino. It is a really nice casino, but I didn't win enough money to buy it. Now Amber whats to go out and drink and hit a club. Traci and I are up for anything, however it is now about 11:30, and we never stay out nor up that late. So we roll over to the Green Valley Resort and go into a club called Whiskey. Amber thought the place was "crackin" and we met up with some more of her friends. The club was sad, and by that I mean the people there...excluding us of course. To sum it up, it was a crowd of people who should be home with there grand kids, or too fugly to go to a good club. Traci and I have a new appreciation for each other and how we met. So we hang with our posse (gangsta' talk for group of friends) until about 1am. We leave behind a guy who stumbles into a planted tree, falls flat on his ass holding a branch, then gets up and tumbles into a dble door, veeeery impressive. What a way to end the nite. We all had a good time and it was fun to go out and be "adults". I returned home and took a nap (SWEET) ate an early dinner, and went to the pool. It is now 9pm and I am ready for bed. The same ole, same ole never felt so good.

Spiderman Sighting!!

Tonight we had an encounter with Spiderman! Travis and Zach got creative and made a Spiderman costume out of a trash bag. Travis drew a spider on the front and the back of the bag. It was quite creative. Travis and Zach just went and saw Spiderman 3 so now all Zach talks about is Spiderman. Just thought I would share our fun evening together. Don't you wish you saw Spiderman? I am going to try to attach the picture I hope it comes up.

The last week

The last week was been pretty good for me. Here is the highlights if you care:
Last Fri.: Been along time since I golfed...maybe 5 months. Played at Mohave resort and had a really good round with great weather. Zach was less than happy to not be included but I he's not ready for a big course yet. Napped later..SWEET!
Sat: Coached Zach's T ball game and had a good time. Zach did awesome in the field and hit from both sides of the plate with power. He is a chip off the ole' block. Went to the mtns. after the game and had lunch and hung out. Stopped by my mom and dad's on the way home for a visit. (THE highlight of the week:))
Sun: Rested all day with nap. SWEET!!!
Mon: Work...not so great. Leaving early for a doctor visit that is not yours..SWEET. Had good news about the baby and ate pizza when we got home. I love pizza.
Tues. Work...Traci drove me to Vegas after work, took a nap on the way up..SWEET. Had a good dinner and watched American Idol.
Weds. Met my new boss at a distric meeting. He seems like a really nice guy and I look forward to working with him. Has a positive energry, some the old boss lacked...as well as a lot of other things. Nothing can be as bad as the last 2yrs of work! Traci drove home, and yes I napped(SWEET)
Thurs. Work...same ole same ole. Traci got rolled tacos for dinner, I ate soo much I thought I might need a nap....but I fought through it....besides I had the next day off.
Today Took Zach to Spidey 3 for the early show, just the guys. Enjoyed sometime alone with him. Went home, ate lunch and then napped...SWEET!
I think the moral of this story is sleep helps me see everything in a more positve light. Talk to you all later...don't be haters.-Travis

8 Week checkup

Well, we had our 8 week check up yesterday and everything looked great! At our 6 week visit the Dr. said the baby was about 4 days behind in growth, but he wasn't worried. Yesterday he said the baby had caught up and was right on schedule. The heart beat was 181 which he said was really strong and healthy. Zach was at the appointment with us and he saw the heart beat and said "What is that, is she having a party in there! It looks like she is dancing!" We were all laughing so hard. After this visit it puts my mind at ease a lot more. We are still not out of the woods but everything looks to being going good. Now I just wait to hear from my Dr. in California. I had more blood test ran yesterday, so hopefully I will be able to quit some of the medication that I am on. I am still taking two shots in the butt and a wonderful suppository!! HA HA. So hopefully my blood test will show great results so I will be able to quit something!!! I go back to the Dr. in two more weeks, so I will keep everybody updated on what is going on. That is all for now I will talk to you all later.
