Catching up

Okay, so I know that I have not been very good at blogging so far, but I am now going to catch everyone up on our lives since our last blog.

I am officially 30 weeks + 1 days pregnant, into my last 8-10 weeks, it is hard to believe. I am posting a couple of pictures here, one is of Kim and I when I was about 27 weeks and one is from last weekend with Kara at 29 weeks, I can tell that I have grown alot the last 2 weeks. My 28 week visit I measured at 30 cm which could be because I am short, or because this is going to be one big Jake sized baby.

So what have we been doing?

Well after leaving Hawaii, which was very hard to do we flew to Seattle and roadtripped across America. We went to Seattle, Spokane, WA, Glacier National Park, Yellowstone, Mt. Rushmore, the Corn Palace in Mitchell, SD, Wisconsin, then up to the UP of Michigan, Mackinac Island and then down to Indiana to see family.

We had a great time, camping and driving, the car did great and it was a wonderful vacation. Our pictures are posted on facebook if you want to see them. Yellowstone was probably our favorite, it was amazing.

So after visiting family we came down to Kentucky and God was watching out for us because we got into a house within 2 days and not just a house, but a temporarily furnished house from which they will remove the furniture when our stuff gets here in mid-October...this was a huge blessing because we thought we would be in a hotel (ughh) or in the house with an airmattress (double ughh). So me and my very pregnant belly are happy about the whole situation.

After getting to Kentucy we have been to visit the Howells and the Jack Daniels distillery

We also visited Kara and Seth Ray in Cincinnatti and got to see Jake's brother Josh and his wife Kristen who were in town for a wedding. We had some car issues, but we were able to spend an afternoon together, which was great since they live in Orlando, Jake hadn't seen his brother in over 2 years, so that was a treat.

Since then we have come back to Ft. Knox where Jake's classes are underway and I am enjoying my role as a housewife. My main taks are composed of making sandwiches for lunch, making dinner, and taking pregnancy walks. We are getting ready to head to Winona Lake next weekend for my birthday and baby shower. After that I can get ready to nest in preparation for the baby.

Okay, I hope you have enjoyed my blog, I promise to be better about updates from now on :)

My first blog

So my friends have been telling me that I need to blog for a long time now, but I haven't really felt the need because I saw them all the time and so I would just tell them all about me in person, but then my friends started to move away and I decided that they still need to know about me, so I will now begin to blog. Even though Jake thinks we don't really have anything too thrilling to say, I think that some people will keep up with it...

So us.

We are currently expecting a little boy. I am 22 weeks plus some change into my pregnancy. I feel fine, just big. I think this is going to be a Jake sized baby. The other news is that we leave Hawaii in 16 days, which does not feel real at all. I am totally in denial, but for good reason, I still have 7 days of school left. But those last 9 days I am going to jam all I can of Hawaii into my brain.

I will finish my masters degree and finally be able to call myself a nurse practitioner. I love my new line of work and I will be very excited to get my new job in North Carolina eventually.

So we will soon be off on our trek across the country, then to Fort Knox until about March/April 2010, then onto Fort Bragg, NC. My goal is keep the blog updated with posts about us and the baby when he gets here.

Okay,

Well, this may be a boring blog, but I will try to make them more exciting later on. I am now going to try to attach a picture.

Today was Jake's last day of official work, so we are off to Chili's for... chicken wings of course.
