B-day & Ultrasound #4!

Last weekend was Ashley's 26th birthday weekend! Due to school and work we had to post-pone birthday celebrations until the weekend. On Saturday we woke up and had an awesome french toast breakfast at Kneader's. Then we drove the Alpine loop which had an some pretty fall colors. (We also did the loop again today and saw a moose 5ft off the road!) Here are a few pictures from our trip.

This Thursday Courtney, one of Ashley's sister's, planned a surprise visit for the weekend. We had a blast hanging out with her and pigging out at every single yummy food place in Utah including J-Dawgs, Tucanos, and Kneaders. I seriously think I gained 15 lbs this weekend. It was well worth it though.

On Friday we went to our 4th and final ultrasound. Unfortunately we didn't get any new pictures of her but according to the Dr. the baby looks great and is super active which is a good sign. She is weighing in at approx. 5 lbs, so if she keeps pace Ashley might have a good size challenge in front of her!

So we are right at 34 1/2 weeks now. At 36 weeks we start seeing the Dr. on a weekly basis. I can't believe how quickly these past 8 months have gone. Ashley is doing great, but between us I think she is getting to the point where she wants this baby out. She is having a very difficult time getting comfortable, sleeping, eating, and living. But if you're concerned if that has affected my sleep at all, no need to worry I am doing fine.

Speaking of me, school is going great. Part of the Facility Property Management program requires a certain number of Construction Management classes. So I am taking an electrical wiring class, a structural framing class, a finance class, and a marketing class, with a few others. I am learning a lot and having fun.

We hope all is well, leave us a comment (even though we don't respond, and you may see no benefit on your part to post a comment, we really enjoy hearing from all 3 of our readers).

Ashley, I know you don't think so, but you look so beautiful and not very big either!
So happy for you and can't wait to see some baby pics posted. :)
