Approaching vacation & other stuff.. :)

We're about to hit the "only 2 more weeks until vacation" mark, and we can hardly wait! Jaymes & I are sooo looking forward to our 10 day break from reality. Jaymes is particularly ready for a break from work, and I'm ready for a break from my daily routine as a stay at home Wife/Mommy! It's going to be so nice to spend some quality time with family & friends before baby arrives! However, I'm a little sad that we have to leave our 4-legged baby behind. :( He'll be staying with my Aunt & Uncle while we're gone.. (it's funny how attached humans can become to their pets!)

Well, in our last blog I mentioned that we were having some trouble with the baby registry.. good news, we managed to COMPLETE it last weekend! Jaymes & I actually had fun this time around because we knew what we were looking for, and Jaymes wasn't sick! We saw sooo many things that we wanted to get for our little guy. More good news, whatever we don't receive at our baby shower, we can buy on our own for a whopping 10% off.. ha! Thank you soo much Lauren Morris, Crystal Pannabecker, and Lauren Burkey for all of the help.. you girls are such a blessing!!

So here's a big update: Jaymes & I have found our new apartment which we will move into on June 13th! It's located in Mission Viejo & it's only an 8 minute drive from the hospital.. (Thank God!) The location & apartment complex are absolutely gorgeous & there's actually a private lake that we'll have access too!! We can hardly wait to make this move.

Now I know you all want an update on our little baby boy!! :) I'm 23 weeks along today & he is doing great!! He's quite the character.. moving around all the time & trying out all sorts of new positions! I haven't seen a huge difference in my belly growth since week 21.. which is a blessing in itself because of the back pain I've been experiencing, but I don't expect this "break" to last much longer! :) Our next appointment is scheduled for the 18th! I came to the realization that after this appointment, and one more.. my appointments will switch from every 4 weeks, to every 2!!!! They will remain that way until week 36, then it's every week! I also came to realization that Baby Heare will be full term in only 16 weeks.. that's not long at all!! We're both so overwhelmed with love for our little miracle.. and we can't wait to meet him! :)

Can't wait to see you all in just a few short weeks!!
God bless!!!
