08.16.09 ~ Exactly 9 Months Pregnant ...

I'm bigger than ever, and definitely getting to that "uncomfortable" state. Just getting in and out of my car is a hassle, but it's exciting that I am getting so close to delivering ... hopefully. I just had an ultrasound done a few days ago, and everything looked good - he is so much more developed and I would have posted another ultrasound picture of him but we didn't get very clear pictures. We found out that the baby is around 6 lbs, 3 ounces right now ... so he'll most likely be in the 8 lb. range by the time I have him ... hopefully not too much bigger! Nate and I are so excited - I can't believe we are only weeks away from having this baby!

08.15.09 ~ Baby Shower Time ...

Today I had my baby shower and it was such a blast! My mother-in-law, Cindi, hosted it at her house and it was all so cutely decorated with baby decor. I am so appreciative to those that helped make it such a great party - Cindi, Kristen, Nicole, and Jacqui - thank you! And it was so great to get so much love and support from family and friends!

Opening presents ...



Yummy refreshments ...


Playing games ... guessing how big my tummy is ...

08.09.09 ~ Camping with the Jorgensens ...

This last weekend Nate and I met up with the Jorgensen family in Pike's National Forest, located just a little over an hour from Denver. We camped at Kelsey Campground and it was absolutely beautiful. It was such a wonderful weekend and it was filled with great fun, family, and food! We had a blast ...

Playing "Mexican Dominoes" at night ...
... I won 11 out of the 13 rounds the first night! That has never happened! I was lucky, lucky ...



Nate's sister, Aislinn, reading her book - one of the best things to do when camping ...

Cindi and Paul, celebrating their wedding anniversary over the weekend ... 30+ years they've been married! Congratulations!

Nate just got his new head lamp for this camping trip, and he wore it constantly! He would occasionally blind us with his blinking light, but I still love him ...

Now that I am almost 9 months pregnant, this is what I did most of the time ...
... it was an extremely relaxing weekend. Thank you Jorgensen Family for planning the trip and letting us tag along!
