Well, well...imagine me being almost another month before posting a new blog. I apologize. I guess you can say we've been a little busy. Ethan and I were treated to a trip to Connecticut from my mom for Memorial Day weekend. We went to Hartford, New Haven (to see Yale), Old Saybrook/Fenwick (the beach house), and a few places in between. It was a quick trip, just three days, but we got to see the beach (overlooks Long Island Sound) and play some golf.

When we returned I was pleased to see my peonies had bloomed. I took that photo because we were expecting a storm and I didn't know if they'd last. They actually survived another week, but have since died and it is time for Ethan to trim them back. They were gorgeous and smelled nice for a short time.

Our 3 year anniversary was May 27th. Time really flies! We were able to go out for dinner before Bradley class. Ethan bought me my "breastfeeding recliner" and I told him to get whatever he wants/needs. I never know what to get him!

We had a midwife appointment the 28th. I am up to 145# and growing "right on schedule". I took my glucose tolerance test that revealed I do not have (and am not at risk for) gestational diabetes. Phew! God continues to bless us with a fanastic pregnancy. I continue to grow, but this evening Ethan told me I don't look very big. He will be gone this coming week, so we'll see what he thinks when he gets back!

Our friends Kellie Obermeier and Kendal Dodge were married May 31, 2008. I was matron of honor and Ethan was an usher, so we were both very busy that weekend. They had a wonderful day. I even made it through my toast without crying, although I was a mess during their picture slide show. We've been through a lot together. Now our "little gang" is all married.

This week Ethan and I picked out our baby furniture and I think we decided on bedding. It is kind of hard to find unisex colors that aren't green or yellow. We want something bold, like chocolate brown and teal. We are trying to get things together because our due date is coming up quickly and there is also the possibility of an early surprise (although I also know there is the possibility of it being late).

I believe that brings you up to date. Ethan leaves for Colorado on Wednesday for a work trip. He'll have to blog more specifics about that. Nima and I will spend some quality time together. In case you were wondering, Nima went to "camp" which is at Ethan's parent's in Wayne. She spent 10 days up there playing with the cats and she has been pretty sleepy all week.

Have a great day, week, month...who knows when I'll blog again ;)
