Allie's 1st Seadoo Ride!

We took Allie to the lake for the 4th of July.  At 5 months, she still isn't too thrilled about the water, but she seemed to like riding on the Seadoo with Chris.  She loved playing with the neighborhood dogs, Oreo, Rascal, and Puddles, and spent most of the day on Monday recovering from such a busy weekend.  She discovered the fish this visit, as well.  She actually fell in the water a couple of times watching them swim near the dock.  Hopefully, she will learn to like the water soon!

Baby Breedlove at 12 Weeks!!

Chris and I were amazed at how much the baby has developed since our first ultrasound at 7 weeks!  It was really moving around during this visit and the technician said she was able to get "textbook" images and measurements.  The heart rate was 149 bpm this time, down from 180 bpm previously.  The Chinese Pregnancy Calendar says we are having a boy, but we haven't had any real premonitions yet.  All I know is that I am thankful to be feeling more energized now that I am in my 2nd trimester and the baby seems to be healthy and happy.
