Crib Project...practice pieces

Don and Chris...inspecting their practice cuts...they weren't very happy with them.

This is the end of the crib

So Don and Chris have started working on making a Sleigh style baby crib. The plans are very difficult, so yesterday they practiced making some of the pieces before they buy the good wood. The curves to the Sleigh look were really hard for them to cut and turns out they need to get a different blade to be able to do it.

This is a picture of what the final product will be like except it will be dark cherry.

On a positive note, I have actually been feeling kind of normal again. I have even been able to go running a few days a week, clean my house again and help with cooking dinner without getting sick. I hope it stays this way and the nausea doesn't come back later.

First Ultrasound

I had a little scare and worried there was something wrong with the pregnancy so I got an early ultrasound and everything turned out to be just fine. The ultrasound dated the baby as 6 weeks and 3 days which gives us a due date of August 31st, 2010. We saw the heart beat at 117 bpm. It seems even more real seeing the little heart even though in this picture it doesn't look like much. This week I have definitely started to feel more pregnant with nausea, heart burn and fatigue. I have been sipping on lots of ginger ale and snacking on saltines. Hopefully this passes in the coming weeks.
