Baby Quilt: The First Cut

Granny has been hard at work calculating and planning your quilt and this past weekend she took the plunge...she made the first cut of fabric!  I keep getting picture updates and she is making tons of progress, I can't wait for you enjoy snuggling in your baby quilt!

Fall firsts

This past weekend your dad and I went to a Virginia Tech football game with your Auntie Sarah and Uncle Daniel, along with Sarah's parents. It was a wonderful fall day in south western Virginia and we had a fantastic time tailgating. It was your first Hokie game and I hope it won't be the last ;)

This is also your first Halloween, here is us with your furry brother and sister in their turtle costumes. Notice your tiny pumpkin ;)

Pat McGee Concert

Your daddy took me to a Pat McGee concert this past weekend.  It has been at least 5 years since I last saw him in concert, although your Auntie Rachel and I went to MANY of his shows in our youth.  The show was at a coffee shop in Ashland, so I got to sit with my feet up, drink tea, and eat cake while listening to a blast from my college past.  I think you enjoyed it as well :)

Birth Class and Hiccups

Dad and I had our first birth class last night...we learned tricks to make labor easier and you kicked the whole time.  I am also pretty sure at one point you had the hiccups :)

Saint Louis Weekend

This past weekend we traveled to Saint Louis for Auntie Jill's and Uncle Brett's wedding.  Dad and I decided early on to drive, because we were not sure how you (and mostly me) would handle an airplane ride.  It was a long drive, but we split up over two days and took many potty breaks.  I spoke at the wedding, reading Jill and Brett a wedding poem.  Right before I was called up to speak the musicians started playing Mumford and Sons, which you must have enjoyed because you started moving instantly.  You continued all the way through my reading...I think you were just excited to be apart of Jill and Brett's big day :) 

Your beautiful Auntie Jill and her proud Papa

My reading

Auntie Jill got you a basket full of goodies, including an adorable onesie :)

Third Trimester

We have officially arrived at the third trimester!  I went in for my 28 week appointment this week and had my gestational diabetes screening test.  I was super worried about this test and have tried really hard for the last 6 months to limit my sugar, especially processed sugars.  Hard work paid off, you are healthy and normal!  No gestational diabetes for this momma and baby!  I am getting more and more excited by the day to meet you...is it December yet?

Curtains are up!

Dad and I hung your curtains last night and they look fantastic! They look better than the expensive designer ones :)
