race day

still a boy

We had our official ultrasound today to see Baby Boy #2. He is in fact (very obviously) still a boy, so that's good! He is currently weighing in at 13 oz, measuring 1 day smaller than I am pregnant--let's keep that small trend up, please and has a strong heartbeat of 143. It was great to get to see him and know that everything is looking healthy and strong! I love Psalm 139:13 that says, "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb." This little guy is truly being knitted together in my womb by a wonderful and magnificent Creator. We can't wait to meet him in December!

Face (looks like a skull), is on the left, abdomen with heart and kidneys and bladder is on the right; hand is on top

assisting with the dishes

If we leave the dishwasher open too long while doing dishes, the following is the result...

thai punting

My good friend Katie invited me to go Thai Punting in Cambridge on Friday night with her, her mom and mom's friend who were visiting from Florida. Thanks to Janell and Chase who kept Asher (Ryan was working late...weird), I was able to go. It was sooo much fun!! It is THE way to see Cambridge! It's basically punting with a little flair. A Thai restaurant catered our dinner in the punting boat so we got to enjoy an amazing dinner while being "punted" down the river by a professional chauffeur and enjoying the beautiful colleges. It was fantastic. It's nice to get away and have "girl time" sans babies every once in awhile! Thanks Katie, Joy, Judy and Janell!!

Joy, Judy and some of the spread...yummmm!

nakey time and purses

We like to give Asher a little bit of "air time" to dry off completely after baths, so we let him run/crawl around nakey for a little bit. Just like every baby (so I've heard) he LOVES "nakey time!" The other day, he found one of my purses that I had hanging on my closet door, and he was playing with it, and at one point I looked at him and he had it around his neck. Ryan was not impressed, and Asher will probably hate these pictures when he's 16. We both got a good laugh out of it. He's a lot of fun and has a really fun and funny personality! We are truly enjoying him to the max right now! It's great!!
