Today we went to see Dr. Rivero. He said everything looked great. He measured my belly and told us that I was measuring 21 1/2 to 22 Weeks . . .Perfect! We also heard Baby Scout's heartbeat . . . . it was 150. He told us we would get to have a 3-D ultrasound in 13 weeks or so! Woohoo . . . . that will give us a glimpse of what Baby Scout will look like! Speaking of Baby Scout, here is what she is up to now!

Baby Scout, Daniel, and I traveled to the 'Boro this weekend for the MTSU ball game. The reason for our trip was to take the basketball teams from Daniel's school to a college ball game. The kids had a great time and were very well behaved. They enjoyed getting to see the games but most of all they liked seeing themselves be silly on the Jumbo-tron! As I was surveying the crowd, I kept noticing a guy I thought I recognized. Daniel said,"He looks like one of those So You Think You Can Dance" contestants. Well . . . . guess what, he was a reality T.V. star. His name is Corey Clark, and he was on American Idol. Do you recognize this picture? He was the one who allegedly had a relationship with Paula. He was probably on 3 or 4 seasons ago.



Now, I realize that he was not one of the most glamorous AI contestants because he was dismissed from the show due to a prior arrest! But, I still thought it was neat to see him at an MTSU basketball game. Why was he there, you ask? His sister is a basketball player for the Blue Raiders. By the way, she had fantastic game the night we went to watch the game. Maybe it was the support from her big brother.

Here are a few other pics from the game:

The mascot coming to visit the kids.



The girl's game . . . I think that is Corey Clark's sister with the ball.

Coming soon. . . .a post revealing the results of the bedding survey and details about which bedding I think we are going to purchase.


Have a happy Thursday!
