I hope everyone is enjoying our almost daily updates. Not much exciting is happening, however, so I know they might not be the most interesting thing to read! I have been feeling a little out of place down here because I don't have my drivers license. This may sound funny, but you can't it seems like you need a photo id for everything. I couldn't buy any clothes at Old Navy b/c I didn't have a photo id. We were talking about volunteering at the Red Cross for Hurricane Ike, but you can't with out a valid ID. I even need an id for my doctors appointment on Tuesday....not sure what I am going to do there. I suppose I can bring my passport and my marriage certificate since the the name on the passport is Rivers. You may be asking "Why can't you just use your MN ID?" Well, I can answer that. They make us surrender our id when you apply for a TX driver's license and all they give you in return in a piece of paper. What a mess:)

I am not sure if we will get an ultrasound on Tuesday or not. I will be in my 18th week, and they do one b/w 18-22 weeks. I am guessing I will have to wait, but I will let you know. It is hard to believe we are almost half way through the pregnancy. I don't think about it as much as I did with Lincoln. I am sure I will notice it more when I start to get a belly and the baby starts moving.

Lincoln loves to practice walking, but he hasn't ventured out on his own yet. He likes when you hold onto only one hand. He is trying hard and we think he will probably start walking on his own soon. He is trying to talk a lot too. I suppose what he says makes a lot of sense to him! He says "Mama", "Dadda", "cat", and something that sounds like "What's that". Too cute.
