Words Only

So that my faithful 1 or 2 followers don't have to wonder what happened to me with my lack of posting last weekend and this next week...I'll provide a word update...no pictures :)

I spent a fabulous weekend in Florida with my mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and honorary Aunt Jane. My mother-in-law's birthday is coming up and she wanted to celebrate with a girls weekend. I think it was just what the doctor ordered - sun, beach, shopping, girl talking, eating, movie watching, and sleeping. A little bit of heaven! It was truly a wonderful weekend, so wonderful that I think there were a total of 3 pictures taken and they are not on my camera, because I didn't take my camera, in order to be truly liberated. It worked.

Scott and Nate kept busy in my absence - building Legos and a new closet for Nate. The house was even clean when I got home - Bonus! They also watched football, did a build project at Lowe's and roasted marshmallows. Our first truly fall weekend and boy am I thankful for some cooler weather.

I have to be out of town this week, but it will the last time until after the baby is born. I'll be home / STL bound for the remainder of baby girl's incubation period (unless you count that quick trip to Columbia to see the Tigers in a few weeks). I am so thankful for my job and how it provides for us, but I'll also be thankful not to have to make travel plans for a few months.

Baby Girl is doing just fine and I'll start going to the doctor every 2 weeks after my next appointment on Friday. She may actually have a name now, or at least we are getting much closer (Amanda, I finally got Scott to agree to something, so we will see - thanks to all those hours at the Orlando airport, he had to talk to me!! Blessings:) Her room is starting to take shape...okay, not really, but it has been cleared out, the carpets shampooed, the rocking chair taken for cleaning, and the crib is in the room (it's not put up yet, but at least the location is right). And of course her closet is growing. My word, is the little girl stuff cute or what?!? I had no idea just how much cuteness I was missing!

I feel good, just a little awkward and beached whale-ish at times. She is moving around and has gotten pretty good at wedging her foot under my right rib. Guess my children love to do this as it is very reminscent of Nate's stay in there.

Peace, love, and happy Fall!
