CoCo and Foster

So here we've adopted a new baby to the family. His name is Foster. He's a 2 year old male chihuahua and was not treated very well from his previous owners. A co-worker of Richard's was getting rid of their dog because they were moving to VA. The place they are renting doesn't allow for pets, so they say. But we think they just didn't want to deal with him at all. He reminds me alot of my moms dog Peanut back in Tx. He's cute but still much in the puppy phase. He was left in his kennel for 14+ so he really doesn't know how to act when outside of the kennel. We're slowly working on him. He's come a ways even for the short time we've had him. So everyone here's a pic of our 4 legged babies.
Most of you know Coco. She's been with us for 5 years now. I must say she's my favorite probably because we've had her for so long and as always been the only one. She's not as tiny as Foster but they love to play with each other. So I'm posting a pic of her too. She's the dark chocolate colored one and Foster is the cream colored one.

22 Weeks

OK, so its that time to update everyone on how things are going. They are going well to be honest with you. On Oct. 29 we found out that we're having a baby GIRL!! We already have a name picked out for her it will be Aubreigh Grace. We've let most of everyone who reads this know already and sorry for just now letting everyone else know. The docs said she looks beautiful on paper, that is our last ultrasound we had, they can't wait to see her in person.

As far as how I'm doing or feeling, well pretty good most of the time. My blood pressure is still normal 110/70 and nothing else to worry about. The docs are little concerned that I haven't gained much weight and I need to start eating. I tell them I eat ALL the time. I did let them know that I've had a hard time gaining weight even before getting pregnant. Other than that things have been going pretty good.
Richard's reaction to baby girl!! His words, "Uh oh I'm in trouble." But he's enjoying it even though he would have preferred a boy. Since we've found out that we're having a girl everyday, sometime during the day, he comes up to my stomach and says "Aubreigh." She moves around like crazy. I know they really can't hear at this point but I think it's the vibrations that startles her and she moves. It's really awesome to see him want to interact with her. The other night laying in bed I kept still and felt this little bump on the side of my stomach. At first I thought it was my stomach growling or something but then it happened again. I burst out laughing and Richard was like what. So I took his hand and stuck it under mine on the side of the belly. I said be quite and keep still. He felt her bump up. I guess she had the hiccups who knows but when he felt it he started laughing also. Overall things are good. I'm still having trouble getting to sleep anytime earlier than midnight these days. It seems I must be extremely tired before I can lay down and rest. I hear it only gets worse the further along I get. Oh well. Just getting me ready for when she arrives I suppose.
Picture shown is me at 21 weeks. Half way there!!
