We started our lives together on a lovely August 8th, 2004. We were married on September 19, 2009. We live in Burnsville Minnesota and have a devoted dog who will follow us anywhere, except if there is a squirrel running by. We are expecting our first baby in early August and invite you to our blog as we tackle the next steps of our lives together.

37.5 weeks along and a wonderful visitor

Tonight my brother came to visit us for a few days before he was deployed to Kyrgyzstan. It was really fun to have him here as we went out to eat with our uncle Lynn one night and then Scott took me shopping for a baby gift. It was so sweet. He bought us our stroller (which gets used almost daily). Since he won't be here for Christmas, he said it was a baby gift and our Christmas gifts all wrapped up in one. The next night he went to play basketball with Jerad. I think he had a nice time up here too as he was also able to go visit my grandma in Hastings while both Jerad and I were at work during the day.
Yep...look at that belly grow...37.5 weeks along. It could be any day now..so we hope. I also got my first taste of heart burn last week. It wasn't horrid, just a little uncomfortable and it doesn't plague me all the time. Just kind of pops up every now and again. My ankles are still cankles and I still cannot wear my wedding ring. It has been pretty hot and humid out as the summer progresses, but I still get out and walk every day at lunch time with a co-worker of mine. We get in 2 miles which is the length of the trail around the lake by our office and walk to and from the trail. I guess that is what is giving my skin that sun-kissed glow. :-)
Jerad just finished up his last trip for work until delivery day so it is nice to have him home for a while. I wonder how soon he will have to start up again after little Zeus is born.
