Things that go *thump* in the belly

We had another prenatal appointment yesterday. As you can hear in the video (even though its a little difficult), we heard the baby's heartbeat. It was nice and strong in the 155-160 range. We also learned that I had a lot of sugar in my urine so on Wednesday the 17th I go back to the doctor to do the 1 hour glucose test. And on October 17th we have our next appointment and also our ultrasound to find out whether we're having a boy or a girl!

Labor Day 2008

This year for Labor Day we decided to drive up to Woods Canyon Lake and hike. We went from 94 degrees to 63 degrees in less than two hours and it was wonderful! The sky was full of pretty, puffy clouds and there was lots to see hiking around the lake. It took us just over two hours to hike all the way around and I learned the next day that its about 5.5 miles around the whole lake. "Turtle" did quite well during his/her first trip to a favorite Porter family camping spot.
