October Fun

Hi Everyone!  All is good in ATX.  I have been a slacker at blogging, so I'm just going to share a bunch of pics.  My parents came in town earlier this month and I took more pics of our guest bedroom decor transformation (I'll share that later) than I did of actual people.  Then we just went to Iowa for Blake's grandma's 90th birthday celebration and the Iowa St./Aggie football game.  Our travels were full of long delays, drama and one tired puppy, but the trip itself was fun!  Blake also slipped, fell and broke a rib in our Marriott bathroom at 2:30 am.  We just had a quick call to 911, 8 paramedics, a gurney, 2 hotel personnel and his parents in the room, no biggie, right?   He didn't end up going to the hospital and somehow Boston slept through all the drama.  Enjoy the pics!

It's a GIRL!

We are so excited to announce that this little baby in my belly is a GIRL!  100% this time.  They told us at the previous two appointments that they 'thought' it was a girl, but this time there was no question.  We are so excited.  Somehow it makes it more real when you can call 'her' a 'she'.  Also, we had our big 20 week sonogram where they check that everything is where it is supposed to be and that everything looks to be developing correctly!  I'm happy to report that all is looking healthy.  I'm in full nesting mode again with a to do list that is a mile long. 

Here is a super duper cool 3D sono pic of the little sweet pea!  The umbilical cord is running up the side of her face and she is holding on to it with her sweet little hands.  This amazes me!  God really creates miracles!!

Meet Elise!
