It is, indeed, a baby!

On Friday, Mike & I were thrilled to see our first born live, in-concert, weighing in at 13 oz. at the doctor's office. There was a lot of movement of hands and feet and after that day, I have felt nothing but real kicks, no longer those little pokes and prods. It really is an amazing process how they can view our children before they are born. What's even more amazing is that I can share it with my friends and family via technology.

We do not know the sex of the baby, and don't plan on finding out. I'm happy to be surprised. All is well, everything looks great, sounds great. Tests have all come back normal. And if you look carefully on the chest, you will see a little white dot which is the heart. COOL!

Summer is officially close to being over because the Great Minnesota Get Together aka State Fair begins tomorrow. I think we'll head over there on Friday night, which seems to be a nice, low key night. Saturday, the Seegmiller gals are coming up with Jesse to spend the night with us while we attend the first Ethiopia Day at the Children's Home Society through which Jesse was adopted. Otherwise, I'm hoping to catch up on some rest and Mike want's to work on the basement.

We are heading to Iowa next week for a visit to Muscatine. I'm taking a day to drive over to central Iowa (Toledo) to visit my dad's cousin Janet. I have not met her (Maybe when I was a baby?) but she also does family history and I've wanted to visit the area that Grandpa Webb was raised. There I should also be able to see the graves of my great-great grandparents Webb too. Looking forward to that.

Might buy a vehicle tonight-will let you know more later.
