National Chocolate Day

Need I say anymore about today?

Six Months! (24 Weeks)

Ok, at least this post is in the right week. The ultrasound picture is not that good, but I am posting it anyway. It is a picture of her face in the right side of the frame.

Everything was good at our appointment; the doctor even said that Khloe would have a good chance of surviving if she was born prematurely. Of course we are hoping that she is not born yet, but it is a good thought to know that if she was, she would have a better chance at being healthy.

She is almost a foot long, about the length of an ear of corn. She is filling out and getting more proportionate. Her brain is quickly developing and so are her taste buds. Her lung branches are developing and her skin is still transparent, but that will begin to change soon.

I had a test for gestational diabetes and anemia this week; so please pray for the results of these tests. They are routinely done at this point, so I am not really worried.

I have been substitute teaching more, and I finally had a class that was stinky. I was bummed because it was first grade, and I was really looking forward to it. Oh well, I knew that day would come, so hopefully the next time will be better and I can be back on track with fun days. At least I am keeping busy, and things could always be worse. I am pretty blessed.

Eric is working days, and still enjoying it, so I am very happy about that. He is taking up golf a little bit and having fun with that. Thanks to Grandpa Gwin he has a set of golf clubs now. Fun times. He had his 24th birthday last week, so now we are only 1 year apart, and I am not such a cradle robber for this one month until my next birthday.

I guess that is all for now. Thanks for checking up on our family!

23 Weeks

Well, I guess I was bound to miss a week sometime. This was last week.

22 weeks...a little behind.

Sorry I almost missed the 22 weeks post. My mom and I went to Sacramento over the weekend and holiday and we got to take the Hooper kids to San Francisco. It was really fun, but also really busy. Here is a quick glimpse of 22 weeks: She is about as long as a spaghetti squash, and weighs about 1 pound. Her eyes are fused shut still, but her lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are all becoming more distinct. Her skin is wrinkly, and will remain so until she is fattened up. Bring on the Moosetracks! You know I only eat ice-cream to help Khloe grow and develop; I am completely self-sacrificing. (If you know me at all, then you also know that is a big fat lie. I love any excuse to enjoy a good bowl of chocolaty goodness).

The Mystery Photographer

I left my camera at Kelcey's house when I was there the last time, and when I got it back, I had about 40 pictures taken by a mysterious photographer. It has been a while since we got to enjoy a poll, so I wondered if you could solve the mystery. The answer is in the photos...if you can bear to look at them all.

I love the Hooper family; they are so fun.
