We went for an ultrasound nearly two weeks ago. Blob had done quite a bit of growing. Blob weighed 3 ounces. You could clearly see its head and body (or tail as I referred to it and got in trouble). We were able to hear its heartbeat (158). The technician said that the heart rate is not an indication of the sex of the baby. The old line of thought is that if the heart rate is over 140 then it will be a boy.
Bethany and I are in the early stages of planning a trip to Mexico. She said that she wants to Mexico before the baby comes and with her possible travel restrictions (I think that she can't fly a month before the baby is due) we are looking at going in early February.
I will try to get my scanner hooked up so that I can get a picture of the baby on the blog.

Second Post
Nothing too exciting has been happening these past two weeks. The baby is, apparently, 1/2 ounce.
Bethany has been feeling better, but a bit moody. The good thing about a bit moody, is that she has been funnier than she has ever been. But, the bad thing about a bit moody is that she gets very angry with me sometimes. On occasion, it is angry for a good reason (i.e. I called her "Preggosaurus Rex"), but on other occasions it appears that Bethany has opened up a factory to begin manufacturing fake reasons for being very upset with me. The factory has a lot of output... they might be running a double shift. Who knows?
I am enjoying my job and will continue training through the end of 2008. Bethany's work has been going well, but some days it is hard to get out of bed in the morning.
We raked leaves in Friday for several hours and we were half way finished with our yard. On Saturday, we were both sore and I remembered that it isn't nice to make your wife do yard work in her delicate condition. So, I hired one of the teens from church to help me with the yard work. We finished the leaves and then spread mulch. It looked great until I woke up this morning and saw that about 5 more bags of leaves fell last night. We did about 20+ bags of leaves on Friday and Saturday.
On Thursday, I had several friends come over while Bethany was at work. Like the cool, hip, awesome people that we are... we played Jeopardy on Playstation 2. I only made it to final Jeopardy on the last game (I think we played 4 or 5 total), because if you get the "daily double" and don't risk it all, you get berated. I risked it all and lost.
Other than that, we have a doctor appointment on the 13th (I think) in which they are going to perform the in office ultrasound. We're still not sure if we're going to find out the sex of the baby, but if it is only 1/2 an ounce, I doubt very much that we'll see anything other than a little blob. Blob Brockman will be its name for now.
Take care.
