Sweet Home, Chicago!

We went to visit my family in Chicago right after the ultrasound appointment! It was so good to see everyone - especially since we hadn't seen Kim and Dan in so long! We had a great time catching up, and did a little sightseeing while we were at it.

Later on we went to check out Navy Pier. I hadn't been there in a long time, and Matt had never been... I forgot that there really isn't a whole lot to do there, but they had an Oktoberfest celebration set up, so we all split a bratwurst and walked around.

We had a great time and miss everyone!!

Halfway Through!

On October 7th, we went to get another ultrasound - this time a very detailed one called the anatomy scan. We got a great profile picture of him, too!

And here is a picture of me from last week!

Matt and I can both feel the baby move now, and it's such an strange, weird, wonderful feeling that makes me smile every time!

Santa Fe

At the end of September I went to Santa Fe, New Mexico for a "girls trip" (Our little man sort of crashed the party, but I don't think anyone minded!) and I had a great time with everyone! We were just in time for the hot air balloon festival, and got to watch them inflating the balloons at night! The next morning we woke up super early and got to see hundreds of them take off! It was so amazing, I've never seen anything like it.

Labor Day Weekend

Matt's parents came to visit us in September!

They hadn't been here in years, and we had a great time!! We took them to see Blue Sky Studios, ate a lot of good food, and checked out a few towns to see what the houses looked like. It was great spending time with them and we can't wait until next time!

It's a Boy!

At my 16 week checkup, we found out that we're having a baby boy! We are so excited!! This was our last appointment with our doctor - we go to a new one next week. She only sees patients up to a certain point, and then refers you to another doctor. We're going to miss her!

We got a few more pictures of him during the appointment - he was waving to us :)

Hannah and Josh's Wedding!

The wedding was beautiful, and we had a great time! I wish we could have stayed to visit longer, but the time we had there was wonderful.

They also had a photobooth area, so we took some pictures with Billy and ESandra!

The beautiful pictures are from their photographer, Delbarr Moradi

Congratulations Hannah and Josh!
