3d ultrasound
We had the 3D Ultrasound done a while ago, but the moons finally aligned and I had time along with the CD accessible in order to upload them to the website.
Here they are;

Lori took one of the originals and put it in a little frame for my desk at work for my birthday. I also got a chamois in the form of a baseball for cleaning monitors, a magnet dart set for my desk, a valet for my night stand, a pair of sandals, and a gift card to Kohl's. Quite the haul when you add in the monitor she already gave me.
I went to a baseball game with Chris yesterday, and the guy in the seat next to me got a foul ball. I made a poor effort in going after it, much to my disappointment. You'd think after all those years of games I would have done a better job trying. I got too complacent in balls bouncing off the upper deck and landing in front of me. I didn't think it was going to land on top of us!
So we accepted an offer on the house today, and we're beginning the search for rental homes in Maricopa. A good birthday present, but a huge wakeup as to how much we have to do in the next few weeks before Kaelyn is born.
pictures galore

You'll notice I'm picking out things wrong in the pictures of the house. Not much has changed, and we have our "pre-drywall" meeting this coming Tuesday, so I have to make sure I have my list.
So, let's see.. Obviously Lori had the baby shower. Kaelyn got one heck of a bunch of goodies from friends and family all around. The shower seemed to go pretty well, and everyone seemed to have a good time. While it was going on I went with Lori's dad and picked up a few things at my parent's house to help them clear out their house. They have sold the house, and had a garage sale this morning. They move to the new house in just a few days.
Lori and I were taking birthing classes, and we also took a baby class. We are just dangerous enough to know what we're talking about now. I'm sure it will prove to be barely useful once she arrives, but I for one am happy we did it. I can now swaddle, change diapers, feed, and lead breathing exercises for contractions.. watch out.
I sold my car finally, and actually got the price I wanted for it. It was a fairly painless process, now if someone would just buy the house! It's been on the market a few weeks, and we've had quite a few people come by and look at it, but no serious interest yet. Keeping the house clean non-stop is an interesting exercise for Lori and I, who don't typically keep things immaculate.
My birthday is coming up in about a week and a half, and I've already gotten my present from Lori (accidentally). We got a FedEx slip on the gate Friday, and I assumed it was the baby monitor I had ordered a while back. Lori came with me to the pick up, and it turned out to be a 19" LCD Monitor for my computer. It's absolutely beautiful looking on that desk. I've boxed up quite a few things, cleaned up a ton, and replaced some other items, but that monitor makes the biggest difference in making the office look better. Someone HAS to buy the house now! =)
Anyways, I'm still in school, I only took one week off between classes this time so I can take a big break when Kaelyn comes. I got a B in the last class, and about halfway done with this current class.
I've been keeping up on the World Cup and Tour de France as best I can, but haven't been watching as much as I have in the past. Admittedly, I probably watched too much in the past =). It's been a nicer balance.
I'm sure there are a million other things people would like updates on, but that's what I've got off the top of my head.
