Edythe and Boots

This last weekend we went to visit my great uncle and aunt. They are one of those couples that has the kind of friendship and marriage that everyone looks up to. They are both so in love and so kind. A few weeks ago we found out that Edythe has stage 4 cancer. She has decided not to have treatment. She has lived a full and abundant life. She wants to spend her last days surrounded by her family and friends. She is doing really good! She is very excited to go home and be with the Lord and other loved ones who have died. My uncle Boots is of course devastated! Please keep our family in your prayers during this time.

32 weeks and 3 days

We had another two week Dr. appt. yesterday. We are right on target. Tessa is head down and I'm really hoping she stays that way. She has been extremely active.....especially at about 10pm every night. :-) Tim and I have been cleaning like crazy. We got the nursery all painted...finally. The paint was only sitting and starring at us for about 5 months.

Baby fever is definitely in the air! Three of the 5 ladies in our bible study are pregnant. Kerianne and myself are both due in April and Kim is due in October. Last week some of the couples threw a surprise baby shower for Kerianne and me. It was a complete surprise, and we had a ton of fun! Tess got some really fun bath stuff....including a tiny pink bathrobe, which we have hanging in the bathroom by mine. She also got a cute handmade blanket. We have such a wonderful group of people in our bible study!!

I have another Dr.'s appt. in two weeks and then after that we start the one week appts. My doctor....is great. She is willing to induce me at 38 weeks, so I don't have to go to the full 40. We are so ready! Tessa is due on tax day (April 15th), but if everything works out, we'll have her the beginning of April.

32 weeks and counting......

Well, it's official, I can no longer paint my own toenails. However, I don't have one stretch mark...knock on wood!

With the sunshine comes beautiful sunsets!

This picture of the Olympics was taken from our master bedroom tonight....Can't wait for summer!!!!

Belly Shot......

Just when I thought I couldn't possibly get any bigger..... We had our last appt on Jan 4th. Everything was perfect! We go in again the beginning of February and after that it's every two weeks.

Vancouver, WA

We spent the week down in Vancouver, WA. Tim had another business trip, and I got to go with again. We stayed at the Red Lion right on the river. It was fun! The hotel restaurant was one of the best parts of the trip. It sat directly over the water and resembled the inside of a ship. It was beautiful, and it felt as though you were out to sea when you ate. Next week we are off to the Tri-Cities again.

The Nursery

Well, we figured that instead of staring at the crib and dresser boxes for another month, it would be a good idea to get them put together. Saturday we (well Tim) put together part of the nursery. I still haven't painted.....I want to wait until it's a little warmer out, and I can open the windows. I didn't want to get too girly with the room, so the walls are going to be a neutral tan color. It's slowly, but Shirley coming together. We still have about 10 weeks or so....although, I have a feeling they will fly by.
