sink or swim...

its funny how you learn this life lesson, even more funny when you watch your puppy learn it!  My parents were here thursday - saturday (today) morning, so me & Reese got the pleasure of entertaining (which we're very good at!).  Anyways, sometimes when I walk Reese I take her to the little pond down the street and let her splash around and swim.  She's investigated the depths of the water just one other time before friday & didn't seem to fond of it.  So we decided to take her to the pond & let her play.  We threw sticks in the water & she ran in after them and came back out, but never went deep... until my dad threw a stick for her!  She ran & jumped in the water and went under immediately, for about 3.5 seconds, then came up with a panicked look on her face & quickly learned how to swim!  It was hilarious, I about died laughing from it.  Poor Reese had no interest in the water after that so we walked back to the house.  I thought all dogs knew how to swim, but I guess not.  I have since come to the conclusion that everyone/thing has at least one near death drowning experience & so to ensure my dog is not a sinker, I will be investing in a life vest for her safety.

Oh, so I am 18weeks 4days pregnant today!  My parents & I went to the doctor on friday and had the anatomy scan & gender determination!  I am having a little girl!!!! The doctor said that she looks perfect & right on schedule!  Her head looks a little big, but its probably because she has her mommy's brain!  Baby didn't want to cooperate with the ultrasound tech & show her face, so I didn't get a good face picture of her, but I did get a good foot picture!  Cam & I are both very excited to finally know what we're having and now I can start registering and buying things!
