25 weeks and counting!!!!

Well tomorrow Chantelle hits 25 weeks into the pregnancy, less than 4 months to go!!! The update on the baby is the following...

Baby weighs 1 pound 9 ounces (709 grams). The bones are continuing their ossification process, meaning that they are becoming harder.

She is really starting to grow and I am taking pictures of some profile views. Stay tuned for some tummy pics!!!

Oldsmobile

Not sure how relevant this is to anything that is going on but I figured it would be cool to post my 100,000 mile mark on the Oldsmobile. It cosmetically is a lemon, constantly falling apart, but mechanically it is holding on.....c'mon Sally, stay with me!!!!

Uncle Marvin's 70th Bday!!!

Well about two weeks ago, we celebrated Uncle Marvin's 70th birthday party at a nice Mexican restaurant in Scottsdale. Here is a nice picture of my father, my brother and me. I am the one on the left. =)

I will hopefully be able to get more pictures soon of everyone that was there, but it was a great time and congratulations Uncle, we all love you!!!

Baby Girl Update

I will try to do weekly updates on Saturdays regarding this topic (as that is when Chantelle starts each week). Currently we are 22 1/2 weeks along, more than half way!!!

Here are some pictures of the ultrasound, http://picasaweb.google.com/twytch111/UltrasoundPictures

I will try to get some pictures loaded soon of Chantelle (probably from a side view). Haha!!

Things are going very well so far, if you don't already know (and couldn't tell by the topic), we did find out that we are going to have a girl......or should I start to say princess???? We are starting to look at furniture along with colors. Finally I get to come off the bench, and play a few innings (up to this point, I have gotten to sit back and watch, now I get to be involved).

I know some of you are already asking yourselves, what have they chosen for a name? Well I can tell you that we don't know, but once we find out, it will be posted. We aren't going to wait until the end to tell everyone. I can tell you though that we have chosen the letter "L" to be the first letter in the first name. This is to honor my late Uncle Leslie, who was dear to Chantelle and I.

Well I guess that is enough for this week, will update soon!!

K-9 Death in Chandler

Yesterday, August 13th, a K-9 dog was accidentally killed in Chandler, Arizona. Many of you might stop and think, it happens, why is this special???

The problem lies in the fact that this K-9 dog was killed by his own partner, not by an accidental gun shot, not by drowning in the line of duty, but by leaving the dog in his car. Should this police officer be prosecuted, fired, just given a slap on the wrist? Many people will claim it was a mistake, but if we look at some of the facts, I believe an investigation does need to take place. He left his dog in the car during a whole entire shift, this dog was left in the car for 12 hours, yes 12 hours. Could you imagine the panic and agonizing pain this dog went through?

Stay tuned for more....this is my first blog/post so I will be editing it a lot.
