26 weeks

I am at 26 weeks now. I can't believe the baby will be here in 3 months! This is me on the Boardwalk in Niantic, CT. We went there this weekend with some friends of ours, the Huffs. We were afraid it would be a rainy day, but it ended up being pretty nice. We got a good walk in and enjoyed seeing the ocean. We also went to the Book Barn and browsed for some used books. I wish I read faster! There is never enough time to read all of the good books there are out there.

Our House

We are in the process of buying a house. Since many of your are not here to see the house, we took some pictures at least of the outside to post for everyone to see. We will have to post inside pictures once we get closer to moving in.

Weekend Getaway

I never got a chance to post pictures from our weekend getaway toward the end of May. We went to Kent Falls State Park and stayed in a bed and breakfast in Bristol. It was fun!

I had no idea that there was sign out there that said this, but if you ever see one, turn around! It is a pretty good scare tactic and it worked for me.

Michael at Kent Falls State Park

Kent Falls! It was beautiful. This is only a small section of it. It falls some 300 feet or so.

Cornwall covered bridge - It reminded me of Indiana.

The bed and breakfast in Bristol. It reminded me of the scene in Pride and Prejudice where they are all sitting talking and one of Mr. Darcy's sister's asks Elizabeth to take a turn about the room. It was a pretty cool place!

Of hours, babies, and planning

Michael now has over 500 hours of supervised therapy under his belt. He had to get 500 hours of client contact in order to finish up his MFT program and be officially done. He can tell you that the last bit was a rush to the finish. Although, we were disappointed to learn that even though he did get all of his hours done in time, he will still be graduating in August officially. We are hoping that this won't prevent him from getting a job before then. He is relieved, though, to now just be able to finish up his last week of his internship this week and enjoy the last bit without the crunch of hours.

I am feeling more and more pregnant every day. I am now almost 25 weeks along. I can't believe how quickly it has gone by, but at the same time I can't believe that I have 15 more weeks for my belly to grow. I guess the nice thing is that by the end I will have a really strong back from carrying the extra weight. I am also beginning to realize how little time 15 weeks is to prepare to have a baby. Where did the time go?

I would like to say that not much else is going on but that would be a lie. We are extremely busy planning and figuring out things. Life comes at you fast and it definitely throws curve balls. To detail everything would take too long and bore you so let me just say that things are going well and we are keeping out of trouble. =) I can say, though, that the last while I have been so grateful for prayer and for a loving Heavenly Father. I know that if we let Him, he will lead us along and guide us through the Spirit. I know that despite the challenges, if we rely on our Savior and our Father in Heaven we can learn and find the right way to go.
