Blizzard!!

Well, We are experiencing our first Colorado Blizzard!! Winds in Fort Collins are gusting up to 45 miles per hour, and we are expecting up to 3 feet of snow by tomorrow afternoon. It started slow this morning, with strong wind and icy snow, but it has steadily gotten worse. Looking out our patio door you can no longer see the houses across the field. The wind is horrilby noisy, and snow is piling up in drifts in front of our patio door and front door (where we rarely get snow!) Everything is white as far as you can see (which is not very far.) They say we here in Fort Collins may not see the full 2-3 feet because of the slightly lower elevations systems tend to skip over us a bit, but we will definately get around a foot.
The highways are closed south of Denver to New Mexico, and east of Denver to Kansas. Also, 80 is closed in Wyoming and Nebraska. DIA has all but shut down with United and Frontier cancelling almost all flights, and the airport fears running out of food. Hotels in Denver are full, and Semi-trucks in the Metro area are required to use chains! It's a different experience for us. Cam is on his way home from work early, and naturally wants to venture out and play tonight!! We'll see!!
Looks like everything should clear enough for us to still make our way to Indy for Christmas as scheduled on Friday, but if not we'll just take our time, maybe arriving a day late. As much as we hate driving with possible weather conditions, right now it seems better than sitting in DIA waiting for a flight after all the stranded folks find new flights. It is really pretty outside though, and my mom has already told me that she is jealous - just because we have snow and they have none!! Hope to see everyone soon, and Have a Merry Christmas!!

Showing!

Starting to Show!! Ok maybe a little more than starting!

Dr.'s Appointment

Everything looks good!! Dr. doesn't seem to concerned about my stomach pains, just told me to rest as much as I can, and to call or go to the ER again if they get worse, or don't lessen when I lay down. I got to hear the heart beat today, it was 153. My next appointment is on January 5, and I'll have an Ultrasound. So we should know the gender then. Also, the Dr. said to bring a DVD, and they can record some of it for us!! So hopfully I can figure out how to upload that and everyone can see it!! Also, I made arrangements to come home for a visit in March over my spring break. Thanks to everyone for their prayers and concerns! Everything seems to be going well!!

Scary Night

Hi Everyone, Cam and I had a bit of a scary night last night. Most of the day yesterday I was dealing with pretty intense stomach pains. After doing some research, and not wanting to take any chances, we decided to take a trip to the ER, mostly because the pain was consistantly on my right side. After 5 hours, and lots of pokes and proding, they couldn't find anything wrong, and sent us home. The doctor said it could be anything from common ligament stretching, to an ovarian cyst, or appendicitis. He told me that if things haven't improved in 12-15 hours, to come back, because the blood work may be to early to pick up any changes related to my appendix. Well, I'm coming up on 12 hours now, and feeling much better. I still have a ache on my right side (which I am keeping close watch on), but nothing like the excuciating pain that lead me to tears last night. I have an appointment with my OB on Friday, and plan on bringing it up, if nothing progresses before then. Until then, We would appreciate your prayers! All of this is very new to the both of us, and peace and comfort are the best healers!!

Doctor's appointment went good (all except for the needles part!!) Here's a picture of Baby!! Found out we are 11 Weeks along, making the due date May 30, 2007. We were hoping to know the sex by the time we came home for Christmas, but it doesn't look like that will happen until a few weeks later. Sorry everyone!!

Doctor's Appointments

Aliy has a doctor's appointment tomorrow (Tuesday), and the schedule so far is as follows: Friday, Dec. 8, Friday Jan. 5, and Friday Feb. 2. We'll let you know how everything goes!!
