DomestiCity 010

Jay is letting me post this week's comic strip. No, I didn't draw it, but I helped a little with the idea. For a change, this week no belly jokes, but as my belly keeps expanding you shouldn't have to wait for long.

It's been a pretty busy week, so here's Wednesday's strip a little later in the day than usual.

Dr Visit

On our last doctor visit we found out we are having a little boy. Jay and I couldn't be more excited! Our baby is 7 inches long and estimated to be 7 ounces. From what I've read in the "expecting" books, this is two inches longer than average. Maybe our son will be tall! We'll see. Our baby is healthy and likes to suck his thumb already!

It has been a busy weekend. I was able to spend both days with Mom and Laura. Jay and I got to see two of our nieces today, Hannah (Jim and Juli's) and Allyssa (David and Laura's). Allyssa pointed out Hannah's ears and lack of teeth. It was a lot of fun to see them play together!

Yesterday we found out if the baby was a boy or a girl.  The strip reveals the answer. 

We're both really excited!

Here's the Wednesday strip a little early again this week. I think Cristy came out kind of nice in this one.  She really was a super-trooper during that 1st trimester.  She has just begun feeling fully energized again this week.

I'm really looking forward to next Tuesday, I get to find out what color fumes I'll be breathing while painting the nursery.  Seriously we're really excited and will post the news as soon as we know.

16 week Dr Apt

Today Jay and I went to our 16 week doctor's appointment. The nurse had a very difficult time finding the baby's heartbeat. This was very nerve wracking until she finally found the little one. She said the baby kept hiding from her and might be a bit stubborn. We might be in for it. 

Our next appointment is next Tuesday. We get to find out if we will keep the tradition and have a girl or buck the trend with a boy. We are very anxious to know especially now that it is only a week away!

It's Wednesday, so it's new strip day.  Hope every one had a great Labor Day weekend.

***DomestiCity 002 REVISED***

OK, here's something I hadn't intended on posting but have had for a while, a revision of strip #002.  After sharing the new idea with our "test audience", we got a great big laugh.  So here it is, just like new, only driven on Sundays ...

Here's the strip for Friday.  It's one of the earliest that Cristy and I worked on and is actually the follow up to number 1.

I want to thank my Aunt Jan for inspiring us to start creating the strips and motivating us to keep updating the info.  Until she commented on the earliest posts, we honestly didn't know if anyone would be looking at our blog.  Hopefully we can keep it going, at least until we can outnumber the drawings with baby pictures.

-Jay and Cristy

P.S.  I'll be missing the first Texas Tech game this season in order to go to my niece's baptism but I'll be there in spirit. "Guns up!"

DomestiCity 004

Well I guess this is close enough to Wednesday for an update.  This one I've been calling "an argument for maternity clothes."  There'll be another strip on Friday as well.  

I think Cristy's appetite is getting back to normal and she's been feeling better.  

Which is a good thing as we will be having a fairly eventful weekend, attending the baptism for our niece Hannah and spending a lot of time with family.  I'm sure you'll all be reading about the baptism on Jim and Juli's blog next week.
