Blinn and I had a busy and fun September! We celebrated our 3rd anniversary at the Spokane Int'l Airport! We boarded separate planes to visit Jake and Scarlet at their home in Athens, GA on the 10th. It was SO much fun to spend time with them and explore the South! They were wonderful hosts and we accomplished a lot in five days: we toured all of Athens, including the University of Georgia and their football field as well as the other sports facilities Jake manages; ate at delicious restaurants (excluding Cozy Yum Yum); went to the Georgia Aquarium; and spent some time in Charleston, SC. The best part was that we were able to do 99% of it with Jake and Scarlet. I'm already excited for Christmas when we get to see them again!!!

After our time in Athens, we were off to The Big Apple! Blinn had a conference there on Wednesday, so I we decided to make a trip out of it. We stayed Tuesday through Saturday and my mom and dad came over on Wednesday evening. It was truly an amazing (and HUGE) city and we were really happy that we got to tour it with my parents. When people ask what we did, I respond by saying that we visited everything you can think of except museums. :) There just wasn't enough time for everything that NYC has to offer! Some of our highlights were the Today Show; Tavern on the Green; riding the subway; the 4th to last game at Yankee Stadium; the Statue of Liberty; Little Italy; and lunch at the Seinfeld cafe. We made lots of memories, and I hope you enjoy a peek at some pictures.

October 13 is our "big" ultrasound! I'm already saying prayers that Baby C cooperates so we can see if it's a boy or a girl. I'm 18w3d and at our last appointment went very well. The baby's heartbeat was at 152 bpm and it was very loud and strong this time. I've also started to feel some movement which is amazing. Stay tuned for an Oct 13 update! I'll throw in another belly pic then as well.

15 weeks along!

Here is my first "belly pic" at the 15 week mark. Everything continues to go well! I'm thinking the next post on here will tell you if Baby C is a boy or a girl!

We have had a busy couple of weeks. Two weekends ago Kristin, Jay, and her little pup Chloe came over for a visit! It was so much fun! Kristin and I went shopping on Saturday while Jay and Blinn golfed. I sure wish we weren't 4 hours away from each other. Despite the picture below, Gus and Chloe got along very well. I like to think in this picture, Gus was just showing her that this was his house.

For our Labor Day weekend we stayed the night at my Grandma Hazel's in Colfax from Saturday to Sunday. It was a very nice visit! When we got home on Sunday, Blinn started to paint our bedroom. Bye bye bright blue! He has done a great and very thorough job. Once everything is finished and we've moved our furniture back in I'll post a pic.

Next Wednesday we are flying out to Athens, GA to visit Jake and Scarlet! We're beyond excited. Jake had his first football game this past weekend, and he made the Atlanta Journal newspaper! I think that the presentation of Uga (apparently Georgia's beloved mascot) looks like a crowd outside of the Today Show or something! It will be a great vacation and we're so happy we get to spend it with them!
