It's a.......

BOY!!!!

Everything is right on schedule for a due date of Jan. 9th. There was one slight abnormality with the ultrasound, though. The kidneys are a bit swollen. They say this is very common among growing babies, especially boys. If the baby's urine is not released properly it can create swelling. They say it will most likely go away as the baby grows, but it will require another ultrasound at 28 wks.
Now to decide on a name, colors, etc.

My growing belly

Well, I'm nearly 20 weeks along now & beginning to show! One more week until we find out if it's a boy or girl! We're getting very anxious!

Weekend in the Mountains

Ben & I spent the weekend in the Colorado wilderness. We hiked at Mueller State Park while enjoying the serenity & spectacular views. We also camped in Pike National Forest, enjoying a relaxing evening around the campfire. It was absolutely wonderful to not have an agenda. We read, played cards & talked about our baby. Overall, we enjoyed the freedom to take off into the mountains, just us. We also dreamed about the times we will spend in the future camping with our family.
