Glucose test today
Feb 17th
Speck and mommy went to take a glucose test today.
“Most healthcare practitioners routinely recommend a glucose screening test (also called a glucose challenge test or GCT) between 24 and 28 weeks of pregnancy to check for gestational diabetes, a high blood sugar condition that some women get during pregnancy.”
Will post results when we get them 
02/09/2006 Checkup ( 23 weeks and 3 days)
Feb 10th
Speck and mommy went in for a scheduled checkup today and got some awesome news. We learned that speck is doing extremely well. Growing perfectly, and is gonna be ready to make her big entrance as scheduled. Speck’s heartbeat is being measured in the 140s right now which is where it needs to be.
At the last ultrasound speck weighed a full 12 oz. She seems to be very active.
Mommy talked to Doc Jeanie about making sure speck was not born on June 6th 2006, and Doc Jeanie said she would try her best to make sure that didn’t happen.
Next scheduled visit is 03/02/06

That which we call a rose by any other word would smell as sweet. From Romeo and Juliet (II, ii, 1-2)
Here is where you get to suggest the name for our new daughter. Please leave your suggestions in the comments and don’t forget to tell us why you think your name is the perfect one.

Speck’s Crib
Dec 21st
We found the perfect crib for Speck. We think Speck should learn about boundaries from the beginning
Speck was in a wreck
Dec 8th
Speck is barely 14 weeks and 2 days from conception and has already had quite an experience. Luckily mommy and speck are doing fine, alas fate had a different plan for the Sebring. (*tear*tear*)
For more pictures of the sebring and also of the car that hit the sebring, check here http://www.rasc.org/pics/sebring05 . The other car ran a red light and slammed into the passenger side of the sebring. The impact caused the sebring to take a 180° spin. Speck was taken to the hospital and checked out. Doc said speck was doing great and mommy was fine too.
12/07/2005 Checkup (14 weeks and 2 days)
Dec 7th
Mommy and Speck went in for their regular checkup today. Doc said mommy and speck are doing great.
Speck’s heartrate was measured at 140 BPM.
Speck’s first gift
Dec 1st
Speck received the first baby gift during the trip to philly. Mommy was thrilled about the gift too.
Thanks Aunty Maria and Uncle Billy.
Speck was announced to daddy’s family
Nov 30th
Daddy’s family all lives in philadelphia (most of them do atleast), so mommy and daddy flew to philly over the thanksgiving break (with speck of course) to make the announcement. Daddy’s family was thrilled with the news. This is number #6 for Grandpop RC and Grandmom Barb and #3 for Grandmom Brenda and Grandpop “uncle al”. Yes speck is blessed with 6 grandparents. 4 from Daddy and 2 from Mommy. Lucky Speck.
Speck also met Uncle Billy and Aunty Maria, Uncle Steven and Aunty Louise, along with Cousin Maxwell and Cousin Jeremy. Coincidently, Uncle Steven & Aunty Louise are gonna have another baby. That means another cousin for speck. woohoo. Speck has yet to meet Uncle Mitch, Jeri, Aunt Cindy, Cousin Lauren and Cousin Devin. Speck also had the honor to meet 3 greatgrandparents. Grandpop Gene, Grandma Maulka, and Nanny. This kid has really got it good.
Speck also met some awesome people like Ed and Phyllis, Lori & Rick and their kids, Toby & Sid, Maxine & Paul, Eddie and Jammie, Cousin Jamie, Daddy’s friend Bobby.
Speck was overwhelmed by all the wonderful people and looks forward to meeting them all over again once he or she is born
