Update!

We spent our last two out-of-town weekends before the baby gets here. We spent one weekend in Charlottesville, VA visiting our good friends, Leah and Zach. Leah took some wonderful maternity pictures for us!


Gotta love being 34 weeks pregnant and flying on a plane this big! My ankles were gigantic by the time we got off the plane! It was awesome!

We took some pictures outside on the UVA campus, which is so pretty!


This is the rotunda and lawn, which is what the school originally consisted of when Thomas Jefferson designed/built it. The students stayed off to the sides in non air-conditioned rooms...and they still do. Apparently it's a privilege to stay in one of these rooms! Just not when you're super pregers!

The weather was beyond awesome and from the proofs we've seen so far, the pictures look great! I'm so excited to have the pictures as memories of this pregnancy!
Greg took this picture while things were getting set up.

For the 4th of July we went to up to Arkansas. It was a relaxing weekend of going out on the boat, eating lots of food and watching fireworks with hundreds of other boats on the lake. I think we're going to have to make it an annual trip. It was so much fun! I think I enjoyed it so much because we didn't have a million things planned to fix while we were up there. We did spend the better part of one evening grouting the tile in the bathroom, but that was it! Now that bathroom is almost finished! Yeah!

This week we've been trying to get the necessities for the baby. The diapers we ordered came in the other day.
I'm so excited to try them out! I think I'm going to love the cloth diapers!

Don't be jealous of that sweet ensemble!

I went to the obg this week and everything looks good! She's about 5 1/2 pounds (according to the very scientific method of two hands feeling the belly). We'll have another sonogram in two weeks! I'm excited to see how big she's measuring and when they're expecting her to come!

Can't wait to see the pictures and glad you guys enjoyed weekends away. When she gets here and you go out of town you pack the entire house. lol. We hope if you make the 4th a tradition we will get to join you guys next year if you will have us. This year we had just got back in town and are leaving again this weekend for a trip. You are looking great and can't wait to see the baby. Have you guys thought of any names?

We want to get out there and see you guys but I don't know when it is going to happen. We were supposed to be spending Christmas out there but Bryan's sister is due the end of October first of November so I think Christmas will be here this year. We've got to get together though. We didn't know how much traveling you guys will be doing once the baby was here.

Cutness! Yes they measured my friends bump by grabbing at it too. Not so sure about that one either! Can't wait for her to get here!

Yeah, that's pretty much the way they did it when I was pregnant with you, so not much has changed in that regard. Just remember that the doctor told me you would be about 7 lbs. doing it that way, and you know how that turned out!
