Weekend Update

We had the pleasure of having Miss Kate Stewart, artist extraordinaire, visit with us this past weekend all the way from Phillie. She did an AMAZING job painting the soon-to-be nursery with her patented trees. Now all we need is any kind of baby furniture whatsoever and, possibly, a baby.

VOILA!

We also took a trip to Jerome, AZ. It's like the Ellicott City of the west... one of the cooler, more eccentric places I've been to in the last 4 years. Then again, we've become impressed by anything that's not located in a strip mall.



And for fun, here is a picture of me at 29 weeks attempting to go for a hike through the desert. This was about 10 minutes before I proved that weebles wobble and they CAN fall down. Luckily there has been a lot of rain this winter and the desert floor was surprisingly lush.

FUN STUFF!

We had a 3D Ultrasound done yesterday and the pictures are INCREDIBLE!!! She absolutely has my nose and makes the same bird lips that Jeff did as a baby. I still can't get over how chubby those cheeks are, either! Enjoy!

Visit Back East

I just entered my last trimester and I feel great! My only complaint is sciatica, which comes and goes. I'm looking forward to getting the nursery set up soon. It's been VERY hard to focus on my thesis because I can't stop reading about birth and babies, watching videos and asking questions. In between sleeping and teaching, of course. I'm so excited to meet our little girl!! She's been super wiggly lately and has been alternating between dancing on my bladder and curling up under my ribs. I think Jeff is a little freaked out by watching the bulge in my stomach move around. (He typically has a look of horror on his face!) I think the whole scenario is hysterical. We're thinking about getting the 3D ultrasound done soon. They recommend doing it in the 28th (this) week for best results. Should be cool!!

Jeff and I had a great time back at home the other week! It was a whirlwind tour, but we enjoyed seeing everyone!! We'll both be back again, although separately, before we officially become parents.



Here's Drew being cute in the dining room.
