As summer comes to an end...

It's been a while since I've posted so there's lots to write about! My birthday was August 7th! We spent the day together just hanging around attempting to shop. Of course when you go with the intention to spend money...nothing appeals to you! (Have no doubt I made up for it the day after my birthday :) ) So that was a bummer. My mom prepared a wonderful and delicious birthday dinner for Alex and I, Becky, Jim, Patrick, and Emily. It was nice and relaxing...and of course there was CAKE!!! Cookie Cake to be exact, my personal favorite! All in all-great birthday!


That Sunday afternoon we headed down to Austin on our way to San Antonio. I had never been to SA so Alex thought it would be fun to get down there before I had to head back to work. We got to see some great, old friends while in Austin. Thanks to Sean and Brant for dinner and drinks out on the town! :)

San Antonio was fun!...if you can drink!!! hahaha.... It was really nice and relaxing. We had a great hotel and a view of the Alamo from our room. We hung out, shopped a little, ate a little, and just had a really great time together talking about parenthood! (he thinks I'm going to be the pushover. Um, hello? Has he met himself with me? He's a teddy bear!)

Today, August 18th, was the most recent doctor visit that I had. I brought my dad along this time since Alex had to work and this wasn't the "Big" visit. Doc said I probably should be eating more since I've only gained a pound (which means to me that come Christmas, I'll be able to play Santa-no pillow needed.) He said the heartbeat sounded perfectly normal and healthy. :) At this point, I can't ask for much more! I promise to post pictures soon since my belly has decided to pop just a tad within the last few weeks.

Keep your eyes peeled on September 15th....We find out what name to give Baby Vest...Boy or Girl!
