These were taken at our church picnic a few weeks ago. Yes, John can pogo! That's my sister Kristen at the top.

Rock Crawling
A man and his Jeep, it's a beautiful thing!
This was at the Badlands ORV park in Attica.

Still waiting...
Has it been nearly a week already? I can't believe how fast the time is going. Maybe it's because I've been blessed with such a good pregnancy, but while I am anxious to meet my daughter and finally hold her and see her face, I'm also not like those pregnant women that go crazy at the end wishing it was over. Sure, I'm uncomfortable now, but this has been an amazing miracle going on inside me and there's a part of me that will be sad to see it end. I wonder if I'll feel empty. Although I'm sure the house will be full, all the time, and I'll have her in my arms then, how awesome will that be? I think too much, I know.
Anywho... we were back at the doctor on Monday and she still didn't have much to say. She said she'd try to "stir up trouble" when she checked me, and I truly think she did. That evening I'm pretty sure I was having contractions. They were irregular and painless, but they were enough to keep me up most of the night. I still have them sporadically, more so in the evenings. Hey, at least it's something! The doctor was also a little concerned when she measured my uterus with her handy dandy tape measure and for the first time I appeared to be smaller than I should. She said it was probably just the position the baby is in, but she sent me for an ultrasound to make sure. We went today, and all is well. It's so much fun to see her in there. The first one I had done was at 18 weeks, and it was much clearer and easier to see when she was smaller. Now she's all cramped, but we saw some great shots of her face, sleeping of course! I asked the nurse about the size and she guessed 8lb 6oz! Not exactly small! Of course she said that's give or take a pound so you you never really know, but she's definitely healthy. My mean husband is still wishing a ten pound baby on me, why, I don't know. I think he just likes to get me worked up! :) And we got confirmation, she's still a she! Ha, John! I was going to put the ultrasound pictures on here, but they don't look very good, especially without someone to point out what you're seeing! You'll have to wait to see her after she shows herself!

First Post
Well here we are, my first post. With our family about to expand, I thought it would be a good idea to put a blog out there for others to share in all this excitement with us! I just hope I can keep up with it!
We're at T - 9 days until my "estimated" due date. Estimated is the key word there! The doctor is still saying "any day now", and the baby has dropped and is head down, but no change in dilation or effacement or any of that other good stuff. So we wait! I've always thought I will go over, but I've been wrong before! I also thought surely it would be a boy until 20 weeks ago at the ultrasound when our Julia Faith spread her legs to prove me wrong! I'm being patient though. I have plenty left to do to keep me busy, that's for sure! John's parents will be out of town next week, so of course they're hoping she holds off until the due date. Also, there's a guy on vacation at John's work next week so he's hoping not to have to leave them up a creek, either. I like the sound of an October birthdate better anyhow. So, since I'm planning this in my dream world, how about october 1st? Sounds lovely. And how about somewhere in the seven pound ballpark? Hey, it can't hurt to dream!
