Quick Update

Just wanted to give an update. Had an ultrasound today to see how big Owen was getting and he is currently measuring 36 weeks, 3 days, so about 1.5 weeks big, as I am only 34 weeks, 6 days (83rd percentile). The ultrasound tech says he has lots of hair (just like his father), and the doctor said she wouldn't let me go over my due date. More than likely she will induce me the last week of June, but will keep you updated.

Week 34

Big gap between, but below is my Week 34 survey. Also, don't miss the ugly pictures of my belly and my post on our Seattle trip.

My ugly belly from the side. Stretch marks and all

This one looks a little better, but can still see the stretch marks.

And I had to throw this one in. Andy's work is having a 'Mustache May' competition. Here is his impression of Luigi.

Seattle Trip

Andy and I took a babymoon to Seattle. Andy got a job and we happened to have a free weekend right before he started, so we were spontaneous and took a trip.

Some highlights are below, but first I would like to share some advice. If you are parking in a parking garage and have an 8am flight the next morning, be sure the parking garage is open early enough for you to get to that flight.

Needless to say, the weekend was spectacular except for the whole travel home Sunday thing.

While we were there, we noticed that we could make it to a Rat City Roller Derby Girls Bout. I was soooo excited! Roller Derby is so much bigger in Seattle than in Boise (they set a new attendance record nationwide). And we were only 10 numbers off of winning a 50/50 raffle prize of $1300....soooooo close.

As you can see, Grave Danger dominated this round.

The Space Needle

The stairs I had to climb up when I was almost 30 weeks pregnant. We took lots of stops.

Andy looks semi-stoned, but I liked this picture of me, so I posted it anyway.
