Second Appointment and Ultrasound

Yesterday we had our first ultrasound. It was very exciting. Jordan and I thought we would spend an hour looking at the baby, since that is how long the appointment is, but that was not the case. We got to look at the baby for maybe 15 minutes. The rest of the appointment they look at all of your organs and measure them. They are making sure that you don't have any large masses or anything.

The technician said that everything looks great, and our baby has all the right measurements and is just the right size. Our due date will remain the same, March 11. She called our baby Curly-Cue a few times, because "it" kept curling up into a ball. We also got to hear the heartbeat. That was SO amazing. Our baby's heart rate is 171, which is perfect for it's age.


Here is our baby!


The only bad news, well at least for me, is that I have to get a shot in my hip at 27 weeks. I found out that my blood type is O negative, and Jordan's is A positive. The reason for this is that we do not know what type of the blood the baby has. If the baby's blood is negative I wouldn't need the shot, but if it is positive I need the shot, because protein can build up in my baby that is not healthy for them. So I will not be looking forward to that! The good news when you are O negative is that I can donate blood to ANYONE, BUT the bad news not anyone can donate their blood to me :(.

Florence, OR

Wow! What a trip we had. We headed down to Florence for our annual 10 day vacation to the sand dunes where we ride our quads. On the positive side it was very relaxing, time went slow, we had SOME days with beautiful weather, and we became Sudoku experts! Well, for the rest of our vacation we met some really interesting people.

1. Upon arriving at the campground there were three tents in our campsite. When we were about to ask them to move their tents, a lady came up and asked if they had to move their tents. She wasn't very happy with us, but our response was YES :) There wasn't even a place for our tent.

2. For two days children and adults walked right through the center of our campsite. For all of you campers out there, it is just COMMON knowledge you don't walk through or into others campsites. Not only were kids walking through, the adults started to as well. THEN, one lady was walking around our tent in circles as she talked on her cell phone! COME ON PEOPLE!!!

3. We put up a rope as our "drying rope for towels", but really it was just to keep them out. Well they just picked up the rope and walked under it. Then the camp host talked to them, and we just got dirty looks the rest of the week.

4. New camping neighbors arrive. They seem to be very friendly, BUT as Jordan was walking our dog Daisy went to the bathroom. He didn't have a bag with him so he was walking toward the bag dispenser when this 11 year old girl comes and begins yelling at Jordan, " Hey what are you doing, you better clean up your dogs crap!" Later we find out her parents sent her over. Those parents sure are teaching their kids to respect adults wouldn't you say?!?

5. Jordan and I woke up Tuesday morning, and there was a tent two feet from our tent! It again was on our campsite. We just couldn't believe it, we only had one night left so we decided to just let it go.

6. Later that night about 10pm we are sitting in my parents motor home. While sitting there we saw people standing right in front of the motor home. We looked outside and our lovely neighbors were now putting two tents on our site. NOT ONLY that, but they were building a trench with sand so the rain would not go in their tents, instead it would be heading toward ours! Jordan decides to head over there and ask them what is going on. Well he could hardly get two words out of his mouth, and the wife and husband started SCREAMING at Jordan. After about twenty seconds the husband held up a shovel and said he was going to hurt Jordan and that he is a 5th degree black belt. Well that was enough, so we headed to the camp host. LONG story short, the camp host said they have to move, but Jordan was nice enough to let them stay. The rest of the night and next day Jordan was called many interesting names.

So, we have decided that everyone (on our trip) only cares about themselves and that the rules don't apply to them.
