Just in case you were wondering....

We are still alive!! It doesn't seem like we've been up to much, but of course we've been busy as always. Steven finished his rotation in Scottsbluff and has been here in Cheyenne for the last 4 weeks at the Air Force base. It was so nice to have him home every night! Even though he was busy with rotation projects and working on a big presentation, just having him here was wonderful. The big presentation he was working on is for reflective week which started today in Laramie. All the students are given an assigned topic and have to do a 45 minute presentation on it for their whole class and professors. Steven is lucky, or unlucky (depends on how you look at it), and gets to give his during the first of the three reflective weeks and does it on Wednesday. I think he's glad that he'll have it out of the way. He'll be in Laramie for the rest of the week and then starts his next rotation in Powell next Monday. It's crazy that he's already done with half of his rotations. YAY! As for me, I've been staying busy with work and....that's about it :)




And now for a baby update...I'm officially halfway through my pregnancy! I was 20 weeks on Wednesday. To me, it seems to have flown by and I've been lucky that it's been pretty easy so far. (Something tells me that will change :) ) We had our 20 week appt on Friday and things are looking great! Steven was able to come with me for the first time since our very first appointment. He was excited to hear the baby's heartbeat, even though it kept kicking where the doppler was. Our baby already has an attitude, oh great! I just started feeling the baby move about a week and a half ago. It definitely makes it seem more real and it's amazing to feel that there really is a baby in there! I also, all of the sudden, have an obvious baby bump! It just showed up one day and I can't believe how much it's grown just in the few weeks. My loving hubby loves to remind me how much I'm growing. Thanks babe, I didn't notice! Here's proof:

Next time I'll stand up straight :)

Everyone keeps asking if and when we'll find out the gender. They do things kind of wierd here and don't do the ultrasounds until the 22nd week. Kind of a bummer, but what's a couple more weeks I guess? We are scheduled for the ultrasound on October 2nd, and YES we are finding out! I need to plan! As of right now, I think it's a boy and Steven thinks it's a girl. I guess we'll see! Well, that's what we've been up to. I'm actually looking forward to Steven's rotation in Powell. Mostly because I'm excited to go visit him up north and see family that I've been missing a lot lately! And just in case you forgot what Steven looks like here's us at a baseball game on his birthday in June. Right behind home plate, Go Rox!
