Because you asked...

...here you go, a picture of me and my belly.
29 weeks tomorrow.
And just for fun, Scott and I were in Carmel last weekend

For Levi and Leah's wedding. It was beautiful.

Stay tuned for more posts, I'm going to try to turn a new leaf.

Mama's boy or Daddy's little girl?

Pink or blue. Today was the day we found out. I've been dying to have this ultrasound done. Not only so that I can start shopping for this little bean but also to make sure that everything inside is in good working order. I had a slight panic attack on the way to the office and Scott was meeting me there. So, I called up one of my besties and she talked me through my moment of irrational thinking. And assured me everything would be fine. And she made me laugh. I love her for that. Thanks Miranda! You see, that's the problem with being a pediatric nurse. We know too much. My list of things to watch for on the ultrasound was more than just girl parts or boy parts. It went something like this. I won't name them all or you'll start to think I'm neurotic.

1. 4 chambered heart. check.

2. Intact diaphragm. check.

3. Enclosed spinal column. check.

4. Intestines inside belly. check.

5. Appropriate sized limbs. check.


Phew! We made it through unscathed. A healthy, growing baby. I feel blessed. We feel blessed. Life is good.



Oh-- and about those boy or girl parts. May I introduce you to our little man...

A first


A momentous occasion occurred today. Well, you might not find it momentous but I will mark it in my book of firsts. Today I bought toilet paper for the first time since we've been married, 16 months ago. No, we have not been going without, Scott has just found it much easier to swipe toilet paper from his parents' year supply. And I am tired of cheap Costco toilet paper. So, today since our supply was almost depleted and Scott has not been up to TP thieving, I purchased a 12 pack. Of Charmin Ultra, my favorite toilet paper. Here's to wiping.

To be blunt

Pretty sure this picture speaks for itself...

But feel free to call me with questions. :)

It's about time

Well, we've been home over a week so I guess it's time I posted a few pictures. It's hard to choose just a few when you have more than a few hundred but here's a couple from each place we visited.

Here's a rundown of where we were. Hopefully I can get the pictures in the right order. We flew into Paris and spent 3 days there before heading south to Perigueux. After 3 days there we made a pit stop in Nice for a day before heading to the Cinque Terre on the Italian Riviera. We spent 3 days in the village of Vernazza before heading to Rome. 3 days later we were on our way again to Venice. After 2 days in Venice we took the night train back to Paris for what was supposed to be one last day. That day turned into 2 after missing our flight home. So on departure day 2 we actually headed home and made it back to Portland after a good 24 hours of airports and airplanes.

We had a blast and loved nearly every minute :o)

The Eiffel tower (this was actually on the last day of our trip.)


One night we took a boat ride down the Sienne



Why I love my husband. He makes a great pack mule. :o)
All I had to carry was a small backpack and handbag.

Venice


I just erased the other pictures of Venice and lack the patience to re add them. Maybe another time. For now, that's a quick synopsis.

Au Revoir

Our paper chain is down to one link, our passports are in hand and we're nearly packed. Europe here we come!

That just happened

It's 9 o'clock. I got home from work a little before 6. Scott just went outside because he thought he heard a car running. He did. It was mine. In the garage. Whoops.
