Quilted Heirlooms






The quilts above were made by Andrew's Grandma Melton. Her quilts are a work of art, they are so pretty. The above quilts were made for Andrew and his sisters, Jill and Anne, for when they were little and Brett has been so gracious to let Baby Cobb use them as well. Thanks, Brett!

There is not a lot to update on, other than that Baby Cobb is doing well. At this point, no news is good news. So, I thought I would write about what stage the baby is currently at and other things Baby Cobb is going through.

The crown-to-rump length of Baby Cobb is about 4.4 to 4.8 inches and weighs about 3.5 ounces. For a more realistic image, it is about the size of your hand spread open wide. It should have all its finger and toes, including its fingernails. The eyes are now in a more normal position on the front of the face instead of on the side, where they start out. I have also begun to feel it move or what I think I feel is movement. The doctor says that our baby pretty active. So, I often picture Baby Cobb doing the front stroke around in my belly. After all, what else is there to do besides swim and grow!

Finally, we are getting closer to knowing if Baby Cobb is a girl or boy. We currently have no names picked out but hope to start looking more in depth when we know the sex. Three weeks from this Monday we will have our first look at Baby Cobb through the ultrasound. If I can rearrange my schedule it might only have to be two weeks from Monday. Whenever, the appointment, we couldn't be more excited. This means we can finally start buying stuff. Let the shopping begin!

Baby Cobb Travels





The Cobb's just returned from our Arizona Adventures. We went with my Mother and Father-in-law, Neil and Brett, and Andrew's Uncle Andy and Aunt Mari. In Arizona, we saw many wonderfully beautiful scenery's, went to many different attractions, hiked, shopped, and went on a helicopter ride through the Grand Canyon and Kaibab Forest. We had a blast for 10 days. Everything went great, but baby did not let me forgot that it was along for the ride too. All things went well on our trip, however, there were a few times when the heat, baby, and rugged steep trails did not get along with me, but we made it. Above is just a few pictures of the 280 we took. Enjoy!

Baby is continually growing everyday. I am currently a little over 4 months and starting to show depending on what I wear. I will post a picture when my belly becomes more evident in pictures. Morning sickness is not such a problem anymore. Although, if I am hot and overheated it can make for a sickening combination. My biggest issue now is clothing. My clothing doesn't really fit anymore and maternity clothes are too big. Not fun! Note for the pregnant hopefuls; maternity dress/work clothes is proving to be hard to find. Next week we go for another visit to the OBGYN. We'll let you know the updates.
