Here is a bird that I named Sam, because I didn't know what gender it was. John and I went out to do yard work this morning, and we already found one dead bird than we saw this bird barely breathing. I was concerned for the bird, so I put on my garden gloves to see if I could do anything to help the bird. I don't think there was anything I could do, so John and I put the bird in a box and tried to give it some bread. It just laid there fighting to survive, but the inevitable happened. Sam stretched out its wings flapping, pooped, and than Sam's eyes went dark. Sadly, I just witnessed Sam taking its last breath.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arive
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free.
Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of a dark black night.
Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly

I was lazy, and I forgot to blog my birthday that occured on Saturday, July 29, 2006. I turned 34! Here is a picture of the presents that John bought me: the elephant chair is for the baby's room (technically this shouldn't count as a present for me....hmmmm...John?), the gorilla sock monkey is mine her named is Gabriella, the bottoms up book, and a nice birthday card.
We went to a friend's house to play some games, Clue and Phase One. This friend is a master at Clue, except he lost both times once to John and the other time to me....hehehehehe. We didn't get to play Phase One all the way through, so I won by default because of my score. We went to dinner at Pearl Street Grill near DU campus. Afterwards, we saw the movie The Devil Wears Prada. It was a good movie!
The next day, we went to Landry's Seafood House with my family for dinner. I, of course, had steak and lobster....mmmmmm. All and all it was a great birthday, because I got the best present of all...Baby Boo. :)
Ellie the Elephant and Gabriella the Gorilla. So cute!
Baby Boo is about the size of a lima bean. 8 weeks and 6 days old. Only 31 more weeks to go!
Baby Boo made its second debut today. The official due date is March 17, 2007. I was off by a day! Baby Boo could be a Saint Patrick's Day baby. That would be very cool. This image is a little better than the 6 weeks ultrasound. You can actually see a little body curled up in there. Soooooooo Cute!
I haven't blogged lately, because I feel like crap. This pictures is a true representation of me dealing with my first trimester. I'm nauseous and tired all day long. I'm not complaining, because I'm happy to be pregnant. I just can't wait til my second trimester, so I can start feeling better.
On Friday, Baby Boo will make another debut...I'm having my second ultrasound. I'll be 9 weeks on Friday. :)
