Robby, Amanda & Madison

This will be a long blog entry. We have been busy this past week/weekend.

First of all, I am now 18 weeks along and we had our second ultrasound last thursday (the 10th). We found out it is a GIRL and she was moving around like crazy, unlike the first ultra sound. That is a surreal thing to see. We saw organs, arms, legs, skull, female parts, etc. I am not sure, but i think we will have a monthly ultrasound from now on to check the development of organs and her overall health. I look forward to those!

Now for our weekend:

We made a trip to Toledo Bend (which is in between texas and louisiana) this past weekend for a family reunion on my moms side. We had three lodges (each able to hold 6 people) that over looked the lake. It was so pretty! We had a great time and were worn out by the time we got back home.
