Kaney's Nest

I am sick! I seem to have a head cold and sore throat..... blah! I will take this weeks photo when I am feeling better and give my update later in the week. I have an appointment with my OB tomorrow and will have more to post!

HELLO SAN DIEGO! A final yahoo before my third trimester! I headed off to spend some time with my dear friend April and family. This was a fun trip! April and her husband John have a beautiful son Nevan, who is a year and 4 months. I scored on all the goodies! I went with a half suitcase packed with my necessities and returned with 2 COMPLETELEY stuffed suitcases and a super large carry on! Sweet John is coming into town this upcoming weekend to a Raiders game but will deliver the REMAINING...

Dan continues with week two of vacation and we are just having a great time together before Lucas arrives! Nothing much to report but a lot of R&R!  OHHHHH, I have the tree up, house decorated for Christmas, shopping done, presents wrapped and feeling the holiday spirit! I was able to attend my  Christmas work party which was a blast! I miss my dear friends. It was great to catch up with  them after 5 months!

We took our hospital tour at CPMC (California Pacific Medical Center in San Franc...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! There is a lot going on these days. I get to spend the next two weeks with Dan while he is taking a vacation. He has accumulated so much time he either has to take it or lose it. I had a "quick & routine" check up appoointment this week which was anything but! I told Dan (for the first time) he did not need to attend because it would only be a minute! Boy, was I wrong! I sent him out to play golf and spend sometime by himself while I went to the Doctor's office. At the u...

This was a big week for Dan! FINALLY, he felt the baby kick on November 13, 2009 at 6:32am. It was crazy to him how strong he could actually feel it.  He has been pretty upset that he has not gotten a chance until today to experience the sensation. Funny, how it happened on Friday the 13th! I hope this is not a sign...........

The Herrick side of the family celebrated Thanksgiving early this year. Lauren was in town early because Juston was going hunting. We had a great time and took a new...

I have ALL my Christmas shopping done! Yipee! It is nice to have time off work to prepare for so many things since EVERYTHING just takes so much longer! There are no really exciting things to report at this time...... I like it that way. ;)

HALF WAY THERE!

Yippee! It is great knowing every week the pregnancy gets a little safer. I almost feel that we are out of the woods. I have not yet completely let myself relax but getting closer as the days go on. Everyone says how wonderful pregnancy is but I think it has been very stressful. Hopefully we will be blessed sometime with another one and things will be less complicated and I can thoroughly enjoy pregnancy.

Little Lucas is kicking fairly regularly now. It seems to be changi...

We had our big "20 Week ultrasound" (at 19 weeks).  It was very detailed looking at all the different body parts, organs & four chambers of the heart. Lucas looks healthy and strong. He was a bit uncooperative and kept his hands in front of his face most of the time. Hence, the hands at the side of his face in the photo. It surprises me how many people can't make out the picture below! Well, it is a full body shot (minus the feet). Lucas is in the fetal position arms by his face, legs sligh...

Event of the week: He has a name

Introducing :                                            LUCAS DENVER KANEY!

The long debate of a name. I really did not think this was going to be determined until the birth. Negotiations are over and everyone is happy. Dan and I both had names that we wanted but how and if we were to use them was tough.

The most Dear person who has touched my life was Dan's maternal grandfather; Denver Otis Townley.  He passed away a few years ago but is present in tho...
