K-State Football and More...

Here is our week 24 tummy picture. As you can see, our little girl has grown a LOT in the last 3 weeks. I can no longer look down and see my feet. Ginger and Bella were a little jealous of the camera attention I was getting and wanted to be a part of photo shoot as well! How cute is that!!!

Yesterday, Jason and I were given tickets to the KSU football game. It was so much fun, we wish we lived a little closer so that we could go to every game!

Our view was a bit different than our student days of sitting on the 50, but these were awesome seats too! Plus we actually got to sit down every once in awhile over here...wow, saying that makes us sound like old folks!

Awww, the students...it seems like only yesterday that we were doing the Wabash with all of the other crazy Wildcat fans. :)

A Little Something For You

Just a quick little snip-it from our busy lives these days. We don't have any pics this time but just wanted to share a fun event that we were a part of last weekend. Jess and I decided (kinda last minute) that we would volunteer to help out at this year's Kansas City Marathon! We didn't do a ton, but were course monitors and traffic controllers for a section of the course. We also got to cheer on all of the runners!! Having been participants in the half-marathon a couple of times in the past, we have always enjoyed the encouraging words and cheers coming from all of the people along the course. This was our chance to return those cheers. And despite temperatures that I'm completely convinced that God did not intend us to be outside in (let alone running) we had a great time! We saw a bunch of friends who were braving the cold and running their hearts out. Plus we got free t-shirts and snacks...this may have been the real reason we did it, but that's not the point. :) According to Jessica, we are going to be back in the race next year, but we'll see what happens...

That's all for now. We will probably post another baby update in the very near future. :)

Baby Update...

Here is a picture that was taken a week and a half ago, my baby bump is rapidly turning into a baby mountain! Strangers have started asking when I am due, so I guess it is official, no more hiding it under baggy shirts.

Now, for the news you really want to hear! We had our level 2 ultrasound this afternoon and everything is progressing as it should. The perinatologist didn't find anything that we should be concerned with, which was very good news. However, with the 2 vessel cord, we are still at an increased risk for a few congenital abnormalities, but there are no red flags at this point. The good news is that we get to have sonograms every month to make sure she is growing like she should, so more pictures! Here are a couple of pictures that were taken today, it was amazing how much detail we were able to see. The first picture is of her foot, and the second picture is of her hands resting on her head. We must have a volleyball player among us because both times we were able to see her, her hands were over her head. It was really neat being able to see all the fingers and toes.

Other stuff...

In non-baby news... this past weekend Jason and I participated in a 3 mile walk with Jason's family and my parents and cousin. The walk benefitted the Alzheimer's association. It was a nice way to remember Jason's great-grandmother who suffered from the disease before passing away last year. It was a lot of fun and there were a LOT of people.

Here are a couple of cute pictures of our dogs. As they get older, they are becoming more and more lazy. We are really enjoying it!
