Pictures from Austin
Here are a few pictures from the trip to Austin:
On our Segways in front of the State Capital:

The Real World Austin house (which is now a Mexican restaurant)
My delicious half-pound lobster tail dinner. Yum.
I'm back!
I made it home from Austin and successfully avoided the hurricane that was heading that way.
Here is what has happened last week:
Cooper usually went to my dad’s house for the day. One day when Rick & Mallory went to pick him up after bootball practice, Mallory and my dad got into an argument about who’s name is Mimi. My dad kept pointing to himself saying “Grandpa!” and then pointing at Mallory saying “MIMI!” and Mallory would get SO MAD and would point at him and say “NO – YOU MIMI!”. My dad said this went on for a few minutes …
Almost 12 weeks!
Well, according to some websites, I will be in my second trimester tomorrow! Some say you don’t start the second trimester until the end of your 12th week. But we don’t like those websites.
We don’t have our first OB appointment until next Thursday. I am quickly remembering how my first pregnancy was measured in four-week increments between doctor’s appointments. Thursday – hurry up & get here already!!
I have been feeling pretty good. I think my tiredness is starting to go away but I’ve been having general yucky feelings this week but I am blaming that on the travel and different …
Memory
I saw this on another blog and had to record it here for future reference. It will find it’s way into my real scrapbooks, I promise you that.
Memory is a way of holding onto the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose.

Segways are AWESOME!
Our Segway tour of downtown Austin yesterday was so much fun. It was a little hard at first, just to figure out your balance on how to not over-compensate with your balance but we all were pros after a brief practice.
Our tour guide took us on a 2+ hour tour; we were able to see quite a bit of the sights but obviously the highlight was successfully riding the Segways. My co-worker has tons of pictures that I’ll be able to post once she gets home and shares them with me.

Only one more sleeps til I get to …
11w Picture
Here is baby Arlo’s 10w-6d portrait.
You know what isn’t sweet?
It’s not so fun to be across the country from your darling baby (or so you thought…darling my a$$) and when asked if she misses her mama, she answers “NO!” and starts laughing.
The Road to Arlo
(This may be a little too much information for some [or all] of you but feel it’s important for the permanent record since I would have written about this in a baby book so I might as well write about it here. )
Last Friday was 11 weeks. I had a test on Thursday to check chromosomal things – so now we start another two-week-wait for those results. The doctor who did the procedure was the same one who delivered Mallory and I love him to death (Dr VDV). He is also the same doctor who sprung my triplet-bearing friend Jennifer …
Sweet!!
Just booked a Segway tour of Austin for tomorrow afternoon. How fun is THAT?
Reports from home are that Mallory isn’t even asking where I am anymore. Out of sight, out of mind, I suppose. But I am happy to hear Rick is doing well in his Mr. Mom role this week.
