29 Weeks

Funny story: A guy at work just noticed I was pregnant today.  Come on!

Tri-Hawk Triathlon

This past Sunday morning Andy and Tyler competed in the Tri-Hawk Triathlon just north of our house.  They did a great job and made us spectators proud!  My mom and dad and Desiree and Nico also came for the weekend.  We had a great time.  Here are a few pictures from the event...

Nico loved cheering for his uncles and we loved that it was cool enough for him to wear his new hat! 

Nursery Preview

Jack's nursery is well under way.  Desiree came this past weekend and helped to arrange and decorate it a bit.  We painted letters for his name, spray painted picture frames, and painted the photo mats blue.  Nico actually stayed in the crib all weekend, we changed him on the changing table, and Desiree fed him in the rocking chair.  It was a good test that everything should work just perfectly for little Jack.  And hopefully Jack sleeps as great as Nico did!  

My parents got us the furniture and crib bedding.  I just love it!  We got the rocking chair from Andy's Grandma Frieda.  It is the same rocking chair that his mom used and is actually from his Grandpa John's family.  We look forward to rocking our son in the same chair.  The bottom picture shows an armoire that used to by my parents.  It had a light wood stain so we painted it to match the rest of the furniture.  And the cutest thing is all of the tiny little clothes inside!     

99 days

That's how long we have until Baby Jack's due date.  We started childbirth classes this past Tuesday and she stressed that most babies come more than a week after their due date and that we shouldn't focus too much on that date.  I think it's too late for that.  I'm not a very patient person and waiting 40 weeks seems long enough.  Hopefully Jack cooperate and decides to make his debut sometime near December 11th. 

Yes, folks, that is a 26 week belly.

Andy used to tell me that he was 14 lbs when he was born.  I'm starting to believe him.

A few more vacation pics

We have been back from vacation since Sunday evening, but I thought I'd share a few more pictures.  These are from Andy's 14,000+ hike to the summit of Mt. Elbert.  Isn't this a beautiful sunrise?

And here are a few couples shots from a delicious sushi dinner (they cooked some especially for me) and after a nice lunch at the marina another day.  Oh, I love vacation!
