Fall Time

So I am about a week and a half away from being into my third tri-mester. Life has been enjoyable recently. I have been able to get a lot accomplished that I did not have energy to do in my first tri-mester.

The choice of a name for our son still continues. He is kicking up a storm and we are loving getting his room ready.

I am officially 26 weeks and 2 days along today. Just like a marathon. To bad I do not currently have the body I did when I ran my marathons. Hahaha, such is life.

GRAND CANYON

Our trip began in Williams, Arizona on Route 66 where we stayed Friday night. Williams is about an hour South of the South Entrance to the Grand Canyon.

Thanks to our friends the Crandalls for making sure we met our goal to go to the Grand Canyon this year.

Oscar De La Hoya (kind of)

Well, our little guy has started kicking. It is so fun to feel him inside of me. It makes all this chubbiness worth it.

He is most active in the morning. When I am sitting at work and eating my breakfast he really starts to wake up and the kicking begins. It is so fun!

They say, that once the mom can feel the baby it takes about a month for the husband to feel it. I am so excited to now be more than half way through.
22 weeks and counting. I have to admit... it is a little daunting to think that I am closer to labor and delivery now than I am to conception.

Just a fun little update! Pictures to come soon!

San Francisco Girls Weekend

China Town- A little shout out to Paul.

View of San Francisco Park- where the "Wedding Planner" was filmed.

View of San Fran and the tip of the golden gate bridge

King Tut exhibit. It was very interesting and a fun experience.

Mom, Emily and I spent six days in San Francisco doing some shopping and sight seeing. It was fun to get away from our normal routines and just veg! Thanks Mom for a great trip!

ITS A BOY...

Well this past friday we went for my 19 week ultrasound and found out we are having a baby boy! I thought it was a boy from the get go. Brad is glad that he is able to pass on the Ashby name, and is thrilled to have a friend to watch football with. Our baby is healthy as is mommy. We are just glad the heat of the summer is slowly going away.

As you can see by the picture I am not showing very much. The doctor said to give it time. I am measuring at nineteen weeks but the baby is measuring at twenty weeks of development. So he may come sooner than the January 30th due date.

We will keep you all posted!

*We would love any help with baby names by the way*

Round Three...

This last week Brad began his last year of law school! ( BLESSED DAY!) I think him and I will both be glad when school is over. Brad is still working for the estate planning firm that he had a job with over the summer and he will also be doing an externship for a tax court judge this fall.
Needless to say, he is busy!

We are moving to a new apartment this coming weekend! Another blessed event, as we are tired of our current apartment and always welcome change in scenery. We will still be in our currrent ward. Which is a huge blessing.

Just thought we would give a quick update.

I am 17 weeks and two days pregnant, and am thrilled for September 4th to role around as that is when we find out the sex of the baby. We will keep you posted. TRUST ME!
