Rona on July 31st, 2003

This is Rona, blogging my first blog, for my sweetie who is now on I-5 southbound. Yesterday we both helped Eric finish up packing and loading his home and kitties up into the Penske 2004 (nice!) truck. It was super hot all day. The Hesses and Jim came over around 5pm to help. Thank goodness! [...]

I’m taking off this morning to help Eric and Chantelle and the twins move here:
Thanks to MapQuest for providing this cool aerial photograph feature!
Back on Sunday, and I’m sure I’ll have plenty to write, if I can lift my arms.

I’m about to head outside and fire up the barbeque (which takes quite a while every time, thanks to our no-gas caveman-style firepit on spindly aluminum legs. Once it gets going (at least a half an hour after I start trying to light it) it does do up a nice ‘que, though–those cavemen knew their [...]

We have the ultrasound analysis back from the midwives, and everything looks good! Interestingly enough, although Rona’s uterus is a little larger than expected, the baby is normal-sized for the original due date, so the official due date hasn’t changed from January 23rd, 2004. Plus or minus 2 weeks. This means that Week 15 probably [...]

Okay, so it was a day trip, and Lopez Island might not ever have been part of the Olympic Penninsula’s Hoh rainforest. But fun was definitely had by all yesterday!
We gathered up all our traveling stuff and made it to the 10am ferry in plenty of time, even after a stop at Krispy Kreme in [...]

We just got back from Sushi Express, located at 50th & University Way NE in Seattle’s U District. Sushi Express opened recently (there are still Grand Opening banners in the window) and it’s definitely worth checking out! The most noticeable feature as you walk in is the oval track with garden-scale model train that circles [...]

Yep. Real hot. Rona’s on her way back home from her dad’s house, and we’re gonna get in her air-conditioned car (real freon–woo hoo!) and go get us some sushi. Mmm… Sushi! In her delicate condition, Rona has to have cooked sushi like eel or spider rolls, but my favorites are hamachi (yellowtail and green [...]

Good thing I looked at my own Blog–I promised to post a Week 14 Snapshot today!
Mommy:Rona is feeling a lot better lately, but she wakes up about every two hours during the night, so she’s tired during the day. Major past-time: Wishing she were asleepCravings: Burrito con picadillo (shredded beef), grilled chicken, fruit
Baby:"Your little boy [...]

Date, that is! We had our Ultrasound today, at First Hill Diagnostic Imaging. They are very nice there. Part of the process involves drinking a bunch of water about an hour beforehand and not giving it up, as it were, until after the Ultrasound. They were very sympathetic about Rona’s discomfort. Lea (Leah?), a midwifery [...]
