28 Weeks - Go, Go, Go!

Mema & Papa

What a month! We just returned from Florida to celebrate the 60th wedding anniversary of Ryan's grandparents, Joan & Cal Morton. My in-laws threw them a beautiful party to commemorate the momentous occasion. It was a lovely night, full of nostalgia and memories that made me realize the magnitude of 60 years of marriage. What an incredible accomplishment - congratulations again Mema & Papa!

the new guest room

My mom also visited us this month and we began the grueling process of cleaning out the guest room to turn it into our baby girl's room. Since Ryan was at work, and I can't do much heavy lifting, my mom did the majority of the work! Believe it or not, we decided to turn the garage into our new guest room. I'll let the picture speak for itself...all I can say is my mom is the best!

Another important event was the baptism of Audrey Milliron, the baby daughter of our close friends Chris & Jenny Milliron. We drove down to Oregon after I returned from Texas for my grandmother's funeral.  I went straight from a funeral to a baptism and was heartened by the juxtaposition of death and life.  Although the funeral was full of grief, meeting sweet baby Audrey, who is so full of life was beautiful. We felt privileged to be there and celebrate with her parents.

We also entered the third and final trimester this month. Yes, I'm 28 weeks along now, which seems so incredible! Thanks to God's blessings, the pregnancy continues to go smoothly and most importantly our baby girl is healthy. 

28 Weeks

At the end of the month, I head to San Antonio for my Texas baby shower, thrown by my sister and my mom. I'm looking forward to seeing old friends and celebrating with the people who know me best. Finally, Ryan and I head to San Diego in early May for our last trip before the birth. Whew - life is busy, but life is good!
