Baby Boy!

Here is a picture of me at 5 months. (July 10)



















We just found out yesterday that we're having a baby boy! Here's a couple pictures from the ultrasound.
This is the foot. (incase you couldn't tell)


And below that is the spine and head is on the right.
Everything looked normal to the doctor, so nothing to worry about except a name. We're so super excited!

Lake Powell 09







We went to Lake Powell July 13-19 with my family and our neighbors again this year. I love this vacation. Even pregnant it's great. I only had trouble zipping up a life jacket, riding in the boat, sleeping, and staying cool and warm. There were only 12 people there this year, which seemed so small. We swam a lot, rode the jet skis, rode water toys, played games and ate. It is such a great vacation.

Tin Foil Dinners

On Tuesday June 30, we did tin foil dinners. We LOVE tin foil dinners! I made them the Saturday before but we didn't get a chance to cook them until that Tuesday. Because Greg's family was in town we didn't want to take too long so we went to a park and cooked them in a grill. Here are some pictures of our adventure!

Our dinners. I always label them.

Catching Up

Man, its about time we posted again. It does make it hard to blog, though, when we don't have internet. Let's see...what have we done in the past four months?
Well the first thing I remember is going to California for Spring Break. I had a whole week this year! Greg had an interview near Los Angeles that week, and the company offered to fly us out for the day. But since we had the whole week we decided to make a trip out of it. (They said they'd reimburse us for some of the travel costs, but they still haven't sent us a check.) We started in LA, and then headed south to San Diego where we spent most of our vacation. We went to SeaWorld, the Zoo and the Wild Animal Park. It was a blast!
Also in April, Greg GRADUATED!! HOORAY! The day of his graduation we had a doctor's appointment to confirm that we're pregnant. It was so exciting to see that little lima bean in my belly. They even printed pictures for us. We used the pictures to tell our families at Greg's graduation. We slipped the pictures into Greg's diploma holder and then told them all to check out the "fake" diploma. It was great! It took most of them a second to realize what they were looking at. My mom cried. She's really excited.
I've been really sick, and haven't gained much weight, but am gaining a belly! Though it was just two weeks ago when anyone else could tell, it seems to get bigger every day. I am also getting less sick, but having more pains. It's just so strange to be pregnant. It's all new and somewhat exciting, somewhat scary.
This summer I decided not to work, and have been enjoying my time off. I do think Greg is very jealous though. And honestly, I would enjoy my time off more if he was off with me...
It seems we haven't "started" our summer yet. We haven't made any plans. Greg's family is in town this week for the Fourth (yes all seven siblings in one city! It's amazing!) We've been hanging out with them the past few nights because Greg works during the day, but he has the next two days off. Now we can really party!
Hopefully it won't be another six months before we blog again, but it just might be! That will be just after the baby comes! We're really so super excited!
