We are packing all of our holidays into a condesed season this year! We joined my family in Missouri for “ThanksChristmas” last weekend, we made the trip to Avon Park to join Michael’s family for Thanksgiving on the actual holiday and we will celebrate once more next weekend when we head back to Avon Park [...]

36 Weeks Down, 4 Left to Go!
Four weeks to go??? That’s crazy! I really can’t believe how quickly this pregnancy has gone and I am amazed at how rapidly the birth is approaching. As Michael has noted, I’m not having any contractions yet…not even little practice ones as far as I can tell and not much else has changed physically, so [...]
ThanksChristmas 2008
“ThanksChristmas” is a holiday my family has celebrated on and off since I was in high school. It came about because we often found ourselves visiting relatives on Thanksgiving and it was fun and easy to combine turkey eating with gift giving and receiving. Now more than ever as Kim and I have married and [...]
35 Weeks & 4 Days Down, 4 Weeks & 3 Days to Go!
Oops! I’m a little late with this week’s update. I had planned to write it from Missouri, but there was just too much going on for me to spend time at the computer. :) I’ll write an additional post on that trip and post some pictures soon.
As for our update…I am officially eight months pregnant [...]
Happy Birthday to Me!
Today I celebrated my 29th birthday! I’ve joked with some that this is the last birthday I will celebrate, as all subsequent birthdays will be “anniversaries of my 29th birthday”. I have an aunt who subscribed to this theory…although I think she may have stopped at 27. In reality though, I look forward to many [...]
What’s in a name?
I have been calling our son “Michael Aaron” fairly consistently now and I fear that I am starting to confuse people. Our friends have given gifts or labeled items with just “Michael” and then apologized for not being able to fit the whole name! I want to assure you, that is just fine!
Michael will [...]
It’s Official!
I’M PREGNANT!!!
I’m sure you you’re thinking that we all already knew this and it’s hardly big news, but I have reached a whole new level of pregnancy and I just had to share it with you. I finally look pregnant enough that a complete stranger felt comfortable mentioning it. This is a big moment in [...]
Shower #3
With all of the wonderful gifts we (and Michael Aaron) have received so far, I was not sure there was anything left to receive. I was wrong.
Yesterday, my sister-in-law, Abigail, and my friend, Amy (recently engaged to Michael’s best friend, Scott! Yay!) threw me my final baby shower. I got to spend the [...]
34 Weeks Down, 6 To Go!
Alas, with only six weeks left to go, the site I use for my fetal development updates has changed their formatting and the information is now very awkward to copy into my site and impossible to link directly to. *Sniff, Sniff*. So, I’ll update you on us and then I’ll give you some updates on [...]
Blast Off!
One advantage of living in Orlando is having a pretty decent view of the NASA shuttle launches. With the end of the shuttle program approaching, each remaining launch takes on new significance. Tonight we watched what was probably the final night time launch. The night time launches are particularly cool to watch because you can [...]
