Hello everyone! Well, we went for our 23 week ultrasound on Friday. Everything was going great, according to Dr. Keene and the baby is currently in the 50th percentile of growth. He is crammed in pretty tight, however, so it was very difficult getting good pictures this time. Here are a couple. I have also gotten quite a bit bigger in the past 2 weeks, it's crazy. Here are my pictures from just a little over a month pregnant to 23 weeks pregnant, I'll be 24 tomorrow!

We also went to Chapel Hill to visit my best friend from dental school, Lindsey E who has a birthday tomorrow (happy birthday!), and also to watch to VT vs. UNC game. I naturally cheered for VT even though I went to both. I was happy to see us pull out another win, even if it was late in the game. Can't wait for the next home game! Here is a picture of my sister and me at the VT vs GT game last week.

My shirt says "future Hokie" :) We got to see Brandon's parents this weekend which was nice. We hardly ever get to go to Marion anymore, I wish we could see our friends there a little more often, so any time we get to drive through there is great. I wanted to go visit Heather and baby Addison, but that didn't happen this trip. Yesterday I broke down and decorated for the fall season even though it was in the 80s! It's another warm day here in Johnson City, and I'm not going to complain, but it's nice to get in the fall mood this time of year. That's about all for now!

Well, it has been another eventful few weeks for us. First, I want to congratulate Heather and David on their beautiful new arrival! Addison is gorgeous! We have been trying to get our 3rd floor guest bedroom moved down to the 1st floor. So, last Saturday we attempted to clean up our "junk room" which was full of things we never bothered unpacking when we moved in, Christmas decorations, extra dining room chairs for when we put our table wings in, assorted junk from dental school, etc. You name it, it was in there. After several long hours of cleaning and unpacking and reorganizing the garage to accomodate some of these items, we were finally down to the end. To our great dismay, however, Brandon stepped into the back half of the room to pick up a random tv stand and discovered the back of the room was flooded! We quickly moved things out and recognized it was really the whole back half of the room! SO, we spent most of the weekend ripping up carpet, throwing away padding and wet/dry vacuuming the room up. Needless to say, even though our baby furniture is ordered, we cannot move the room down stairs until our carpet has been reinstalled. But, we have received all of the bedding! We decided to go with a Pooh theme after debating over safari for a long time. I saw it and loved it so we went ahead with it! I can't wait to paint the baby's room too, right now we're thinking yellow or pale blue, we might go this weekend and actually pick the paint out. In other news, I'm going to VT tomorrow with my parents to see my sister and support our Hokies against GT. I also get to eat at one of my favorite Blacksburg restaurants, Backstreets, and I have been craving it a lot lately. The baby definitely isn't lacking even now on Hokie and Tarheel wear. We have beanies in both for him to wear in the hospital! So exciting :) Well, that is about all for now. I will try to post some pictures on here in a day or two. Have a great weekend!
