How cute is this little profile!

Can you tell?

Here let me zoom in on the baby for you! Oh yeah thats a Penis, we are having a boy!!!

It was so fun to go to the Ultra Sound and see our baby on the big screen! I got on the bed and the doc put the gel on my stomache Mic and I asked immediately to see the sex of the baby. He told us that he likes to save that for the end... but as he applied the Ultra sound thing to my stomache the first picture that popped on the screen was my child with his legs spread wide ... and I was so worried this child was going to be shy. Its so fun to get to know his personality better. He is so stubborn, he would not hold still for the doctor and when the guy applied any pressure to my stomache the baby would kick the probe or the guys hand really hard for something that doesn't weigh a pound yet!!!

We are so excited and we feel so incredibly blessed to share this with all of you!

Run with the Reindeer

Only in Alaska would you get "Running w/ the Reindeer". This weekend and through next week is Fur-rounday I have no idea what it means or why we celebrate Fur-rounday , but we had a good time watching. Here are some of the pics from the RUN


This reindeer loved the camera!


Poor things I don't think they wanted to be here


Honestly the reindeer ran faster than the people!


Honestly, how dumb do you have to be to run with the reindeer( Mic and I are doing it next year)

Tomorrow is the big day we find our the sex of our child! I just have to say BOOO to althose who voted with Micah.

I have converted Micah to my favorite feel good reality show! Extreme Home Makeover, every week I cry like baby... this week they did the show for the Marine that lost his leg. Micah got a little teary eyed watching the show. I love this show because its so real and there are so many honest good people in need who deserve a hand up and a little help.

Super Bowl weekend

Our weekends seem to go so fast anymore, Micah is trying to study for the CPA and every weekend we are stay up late and get up even later, but since we have the baby coming this summer I thought it was time to start working on getting up early. I told Micah Friday night that no matter what he had to get up while it was still morning on Saturday. I was up at 9:30 ish and at 10 I started bugging mic to get up. I had the whole house clean, my hair and makeup done, and a cup of ice water in my hand at 11:45 before he decided it might be a good idea to get moving( it was still techniquely the morning)

As you all know this weekend was superbowl weekend. Micah and I decided to invite our friends Shawn and Salina over for a little party and to watch the game. I made lots of food mostly finger foods like egg rolls, taquitos, bbq ck, chips with dip, and a veggie tray. I decided to save the egg rolls for later in the game and set them out to thaw.... I fell asleep right after half time. I woke up at the beginning of the 4th quarter and decided to ask the guys if they wanted me to make the egg rolls. Micah and Shawn both fessed up to eating some while I was sleeping. Honesty, are you kidding me, they are both going to be so sick(they were pork egg rolls)Hahahaha is it bad that I think that is so funny. Poor Shawn has to fly out on a job in the morning! I feel so bad for every one working in Micah's office tomorrow.

We had another Doctor's appointment the big official first one with my new doctor and Micah decided to come too. Can I just tell you how interesting it is to have my feet in the stirrups and my doctor commenting about my pregnancy with my husband nodding in agreement to everything she said... I think maybe he should have been a doctor.

Today was the my first appointment with my new Doctor and I am so excited... is it bad that I have a little bit of a crush on my doctor! He really is nice, but more than just a little bit gay. I heard baby's heart beat and its just under 130 beats per minute. Micah would have bet money that we are having a girl, but now I think that he is leaning towards that boy side of the belly (which side is that exactly, i think its which ever side has the most stretch marks!) I love being pregnant because Micah is such a sweetie and you had better believe that I am milking it for all its worth. Now heres a line from our sponser..... Hello from the dark side! This is my (Micah's) first time writing on our blog. If you're reading this blog entry I would appreciate it if you you would print it off and save it, because years from now Melinda will deny that she ever called me a sweetie. Truth be told, we are both super excited, and things are going well here in Siberia. Mel has been telling me that she really likes the name Bristol if we have a girl (uniquely Alaskan). I asked her why Bristol, and she told me because I was in Bristol Bay when the baby was conceived. It took me three weeks to realize that Mel hasn't been to Bristol Bay! Of course I'm kidding, but on a more serious note, JaMicah or JaMelinda is going to have to work because Mel doesn't like my first choice. I am voting for Ivan The Impaler Clinger. I mean, how cool would that be to have The Impaler as a middle name, and not just a nickname. Well folks, we have to go now, but check back soon because we plan to start updating our blog a little more often.

Happy New Year!

Well the holidays are finally over, all though I love the holidays its time to pack up the tree and go on a diet... poor Micah may have overindulged just a little bit. The only thing he wanted from Santa this year was a scale... when he first stepped on it he stopped eating for a full 24 hours, everyday before he goes to work, when he gets home and before bed he is on that scale. This would all be fine accept he strips down to his birthday suit and for some reason it never occurs to him to shut the blinds!

Micah and I are so pleased to announce to every one that we are expecting our first and possibly our last baby at the end of June! I haven't felt this sick and miserable ever! Micah is so excited we go shopping and he disappears and I only have to look for him in the baby section. He can't decide whether he wants a boy or a girl! I personnally think that he is leaning towards a girl because he wants a little princess.

We hope everyones Holidays were wonderful and we love and miss you all!

Hello from Alaska

Greetings to all our friends and family!! We decided to copy Micah's brother and his wife, and set up a blog like everyone else. Plus, it's about time we got with the times...

The holidays are upon us and Thanksgiving is right around the corner. I being in love with the holidays decided if Walmart can have there Christmas displays up before Halloween then I can put up my decorations before Thanksgiving!! My tree is up and I am ready to eat Thanksgiving dinner around the Christmas tree. Micah is even getting in the spirit and he helped me buy the decorations his conditions were that he just didn't have to help set them up.

Anchorage is wonderful for us and we both really enjoy the firm Micah works for and also the people he works with. His co-workers have taken us in and included us, we always have things to do on the weekends.

We are still waiting on our first snow of the season, everyone keeps telling us that not having snow on Halloween was a big deal and we need to enjoy our good fortune!

As always we love and miss you!
The Clingers
