I haven't been doing the greatest job keeping up with this blog. I have another blog specifically for "baby stuff" to share with family & friends that is unlisted - if you would like to read it let me know and I'll get you the URL. I'm probably going to be primarily using that blog in the future. In the meantime, everything has been going well with my pregnancy and the baby boy. I actually haven't had any serious complications; everything has been going smoothly and I'm due in around 10 days!
This past month or so has been a whirlwind of checking things off my "to-do" list. The nursery is done (I'll share pictures in another post), including steam-cleaning the carpet and installing a ceiling fan (thanks Dad!). Just about everything baby has been washed and has found a spot. Plus, my mom came over this past weekend and we made freezer meals for when Scotty and I do not feel like cooking after his arrival!
I thought I'd share links to the meals as well as a Google Document I put together. Hopefully it can help you too! Here's what we did:
We will probably get 15 meals easily out of the above recipes since it's
just the two of us. It only took about 2 and a half hours to make
everything!
If you would like all of the recipes in one place, I made a Google
Document that was very useful to have open during the cooking:

Repticon 2013
We spent this morning in Phoenix at Repticon - a smallish reptile
convention. It wasn't big enough for us to spend the whole day there,
but it made for a really fun Saturday morning.
Some pictures...
An iguana with his blankie
A monitor lizard (fun fact, monitors are very intelligent for lizards and some can even count)
I can't remember what this guy was... maybe a juvenile monitor.
Juvenile bearded dragons
A very friendly eyelash crested gecko
If I got a gecko, it'd be one of these guys :)
Me, with a very gentle tarantula
AND, my favorite part... baby tortoise racing!
It was the cutest thing ever... it was put on as a fundraiser by the Arizona Herpetological Association. You could put a dollar towards your favorite tortoise to win. We put a dollar towards one named Flash (pictured above). That worked out pretty well as you can see from the video of that race here (it's short. And adorable).
I found this necklace there that I liked.
Afterwards, we went to MacAlpine's Soda Fountain. It's sandwiched between two antique stores and the whole place is awesome. I got a Dr Pepper float, and Scotty got the Brady Bunch float, which has chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream with butterscotch soda. We left very full and happy.
Then we came home and spent some time with our own lizard, haha. (Genbu also got to roam around, but after I had already put the camera away.)

Hello, Little Boy
Yep... we are expecting a boy. :)
Here's the ultrasound pictures of the baby... he's so darn cute even blurry in black and white.
(The ones like this with the baby looking directly at the camera kind of come out a little creepy, I think...)
So there he is. It's so nice to be able to use the right pronoun.
He's going to be Scott Douglas III, but we're already calling him Tripp (for "Triple"), haha. I think it's cute and it solves the problem of coming up with a way to distinguish him from his grandpa and his dad.
