It's a Girl!

We had the big ultrasound today and the baby looks completely healthy! We couldn't be happier!

We also found our the gender to 99.9% accuracy! We are having a girl!

We will post some pictures when I have time to scan them in and cut the video down to a reasonable size.

The big ultrasound rescheduled

It looks like we won't be finding out the gender of Baby Cassady today. Unfortunately, our doctor had to reschedule the appointment for Thursday. We'll post after the appointment! Lenny and I were getting pretty excited - guess we'll have to maintain the excitement for few more days!

STS-124

I am a very lucky girl! I just got told that I won a Space Flight Awareness Award for STS-124. That means that I get to go see the launch and spend a few days out at Kennedy Space Center as a VIP - plus Lenny gets to come with me! That's two launches in a row! I am so excited. I can't wait!

This award means a lot to me too. I have put so much time and effort into work and especially the Space Shuttle Program. I can't tell you how many weekends, holidays, late nights I worked before return to flight and during the missions. I've not taken vacations and missed a few things like weddings...I finally feel like I am getting recognized for some of it. Though I have loved the work (with the exception of a few hard days and a little stress) I really appreciate getting this opportunity!

Dr. Appt

Hey everyone...I had a doctors appointment last week - just the routine check-up. Everything looked good. The baby's heartbeat sounded good and my blood pressure was perfect. The only problem is that I am still losing weight. The good news is that my nausea has started to wane - thank God! Hopefully that will change the weight loss...I have never had a doctor tell me to eat more food until now. How crazy is that?!

I also went shopping for maternity clothes and got a ton over the weekend. As most of you know I really hate shopping for clothes, but with the help of my friends Steph, Betsy, and Kylie I made it through. Seriously though - they all made it so much easier than if I had tried to go alone - thank you guys! Surprisingly, all the clothes are girly too, so watch out!
