13 weeks and counting


Sorry it has taken so long to get something posted on here. We have been going to many doctors appts and everything is looking well. We saw the Fetal Maternal Specialist up in Sacramento and he didn't tell us anything that we didn't know already. I am glad to not have to go back there again. I am still being followed by the Urologist and the Hematologist/Oncologist and of course the OB clinic. We saw OB on Wed and the heart beat was heard for the first time and it was around 150 bpm. Pretty cool to hear it for the first time. I have gained one pound in the past month and it seems that I am showing more than I remember with Dylan this early on. Dylan is doing wonderful. We just had our parent-teacher conference last week and he has made leaps and bounds with his reading. He is no longer in the special reading class and is at or beyond his grade level reading. We just have to work on his handwriting...but that will come. We are just so pround of the work he has been doing with his school work. Dylan has been doing really well with his braces. I will get some more pictures of that soon and post them. He has an appointment to get his wires changed next Tues, so we will see if he goes with green bands again or something different! Brent has been really busy with work. He is doing really well and I know the other First Sergeant is extremely thankful for all of his hard work. When Brent is not hard at work, he is hard at work here at home helping with everything! He has been so supportive and understanding with everything. My nausea and exhaustion is getting better, but while it was really bad, he took care of everything...He is truly my best friend and a wonderful man!
On a lighter note...I believe that on Monday I will be starting my new job at the base hospital in interventional radiology! I am so excited to finally be working again and the department seems so happy to be having me come to work there! For now...I best get going. My son has a sleepover tonight and my husband is taking me on a DATE!!!!!!!!! YAH HOOOOOOO. Hope all is well with you all. I will try to keep up with this a bit better now that things are moving along!

  1. Hey my special little "growing" family, I am so PLEASED to see the smiles!!! You may not "feel radiant", baby girl, but you certainly are looking even more beautiful, & I can only believe my newest grandbaby has to have something to do with it..My oh my, Brent & Dylan, you also appear to have a special "glow", hmmmmm, how does that happen/work?? I know you are extremely photogenic, but... Is that the same aquarium we visited?? before I forget, your captions come up on the previous pic (side view of # 2 Cook grandbaby has caption "San Fran Aquarium") Is it just my slow dial up?? Way to go My Funny Honey Bunny..I am so proud of your hard work at school!!! Thank you Brent, for supporting my baby daughter..I know for a fact how exasberating it can be with ANY prego, but you kids have definitely been "put thru the wringer" as of late. I couldn't be prouder of you individually, and as a family...well, words would never suffice..PLEASE don't overdue at the new job, Crystal..I believe it will remove stress, but don't want your health to "pay". "MooMoo" is here beside me & says she is excited to FINALLY have a baby cousin!!! Fun, fun, fun, she says!!!She, as all the cherubs, send their LOVE & thanks for sending me back to Ohio (like they thought you could have tolerated me much longer LOL)
