I went to Dr. Wiegman today for my first exam. He was so excited I was pregnant. He brought in the doppler. He told me not to get upset if we didn't hear a heartbeat. Since I'm so irregular, they couldn't really guess how old the fetus was or my due date. It took almost 2 minutes, and he got a heartbeat. It was so exciting. He told me that I was probably about 8-9 weeks, and that I could schedule my first sonogram on Wednesday (2 days away.) I was psyched.
Two days later, I went to Dr. McCullough's office next door. The sonogram tech said that Dr. Wiegman was a little off. The fetus was 7 weeks and 5 days. The heartrate was 154 bpm. Our due date is September 3. The pics aren't nearly as clear as Katie's sonogram photos, but that's ok. Dave and I were both super excited.

The Day After
We drove up the coast and stopped on the beach just before getting to the Santa Monica pier. This is my favorite photo of our entire trip.
After our short visit to the beach, we headed to the Santa Monica pier to eat dinner. Where could you possibly get better food than Bubba Gump's? Brad is famous for his, "Mama always said..." jokes, so this really took the cake on our last night.

Cali was great, but we were all tired, and I was ready to return home to my Katie. So the next day, we got ready and headed to the airport to head back to DFW.

"It's Game Day, Baby!"
This was a day I'd waited for a long time. I hadn't been to a Longhorn game since the fall of 2001. I couldn't wait to see the Longhorns play in person again. Dave had gone with Brad this past fall. You have to truly "bleed orange" to understand what it's like to be a Longhorn football fan. I don't like the NFL..this is the sport I live for. I was nervous and psyched about the game. We were going in as underdogs, and 'Bama was definitely a favorite. I learned many things from my trip to the Rose Bowl. 1. 'Bama fans are nice (except for the white trash woman that was really rude on the street.) 2. They are also classy. They dress up in crimson, and this hideous black/white checkered stuff. They turn EVERYTHING into black/white checks. 3. Don't leave your seat unless it's an emergency because the tunnels at the Rose Bowl are tiny, and they only let so many people through. 4. Don't depend on one player, like Colt McCoy to get you through, or it will end in disaster. 5. Nick Saban runs up the score and has no class. 6. Drunk people in the restroom are jerks (poor Brad.) 7. You have to wait in line FOREVER to go to the bathroom. 8. The feeling of being at a National Championship game is like no other you've ever had before. 9. Even though, we lost, I still had a great time in Pasadena and LA. 10. I'm so glad I got to share that experience with my wonderful hubby, and my 2 best friends, Brad and Lisa.

Rose Bowl...Here We Come
In a moment of insanity, I allowed my husband to purchase 2 tickets to the National Championship to watch the Horns go head-to-head with 'Bama. We were headed there with two of our closest friends, Brad and Lisa. We headed to the airport at 4 AM and had our first big day planned. After landing in Ontario and renting a car, we headed straight to the Rose Bowl. It was a media circus. There were people everywhere. We parked in Old Pasadena and looked around at the souvenir shops. Then, we headed to Pink's for the famous hot dogs. The place was swarming with people at 2 PM. After waiting in line about 30 minutes or so, we got to place our orders at the tiny hot dog stand.
