What I'm Hoping For...

I was looking through some pictures the other day and found this one. This is Wayne when he was born. I'm really hoping our baby looks just like him...he's so cute! I must admit, I am partial to bald babies, but if our little guy comes out with hair like his dad had, I will still love him. And I'll probably even think he's cute. As long as he looks like Wayne. :)

27 Weeks

I think everyone knows by now, but in case you didn't believe me (which some of you shockingly DIDN'T) here's the belly pictures to prove it.  I know...so hot. :)  It's a BOY, due May 22nd. 2009. Thankfully. I'm glad we don't carry babies for 2 years like elephants do. However, I have no complaints about pregnancy these days. I feel really good and have a decent amount of energy and it's so fun to feel him kick and move around all the time. The time seems to be going super fast, and March is going to fly by because I'm traveling for work quite a bit of the month. I should probably start reading parenting books...or at least a pregnancy book, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. I think I read the first 3 months of "What to Expect..." Women didn't have that book 50 years ago and they did just fine. I'm sure the kid will survive. :)

Perfect pregnancy posture...

So there you have it. I'll take some more one of these days. I got a new camera, so my excuses are limited now. But we all know that doesn't mean anything...this is me we're talking about. :)
 

Girl's Week 2009!!!

I just have to tell everyone how much I absolutely love and adore my two sisters. I am so, so, so thankful to have sisters AND best friends in the same two fabulous women. At the beginning of February, Holly, Jaime, and I got to spend almost a week together out in Washington D.C. and Virginia. It was soooo much fun! We did a little bit of sightseeing, but mostly we just wanted to hang out together, eat, and laugh. And laugh we did! I don't think I have laughed that hard in a long time...there's something about getting together as sisters that brings out the giggles in all of us. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, Jaime and Holly, for sacrificing to make our Girl's Week happen! It was just what I needed. And thank you to our wonderful husbands for staying home to work, go to school, babysit, and keep the home fires burning so we could spend some time together. We love you and we appreciate your support! 

I don't have many pictures of our activities due to the fact that my camera inconveniently died on me the week before the trip. And due to the fact that, aside from about 3 hours of attempted sightseeing in D.C. in not-so-friendly weather, our activities were limited to hanging out, eating, and shopping. Not very exciting for pictures. BUT, here are a few of the pictures we did take. 

Me and Holly in front of the Lincoln Memorial and WWII Memorial.

Me and Jaime and Jacob trying to stay warm at the Washington Monument.

The four of us in front of the White House. We prefer to pretend that President Bartlett from the West Wing lives there. That's why we were able to smile. 

Freezing, freezing, freezing. Not sure where we are, we just got off the Metro and decided to take a picture. And I love Jacob. 

I'm Finally Over It...

As some of you know, I have been refusing to post recent updates on our life because I was still trying to finish the travel-log of last summer's big trip, and I stubbornly wanted to keep our life story in chronological order. Well, I finally realized that last summer is WAY in the past now, and no one really cares about that any more. I guess I'll have to finish the trek north in scrapbook form...however, I like scrapbooking even less than I like blogging. Hmm...maybe we'll just keep it in our memories. 

So, I hereby declare that I am finally over trying to catch up on last year.  Here's to all the good times we've had, but more importantly, all the good times to come. :)
