Five Years and Counting...

Wow!  It is hard to believe Spencer and I have been married five years March 19th!  Crazy how time flies.  Spencer surprised me with dinner and a night stay at Gorham's Bluff.  Gorham's Bluff is special to us because it the place we stayed the night we got married.  It also has the Roden Suite.  We weren't able to stay in the Roden Suite this time, but we were okay with that.  Just the opportunity to get away for the night was GREAT! We had a fabulous four course dinner and our suite had a porch and we were able to look over the Tennessee River.  The view was spectacular!

I don't have any pictures of us together, but this is me, standing on the porch of our suite. 

 

This is a better view of the Tennessee River. 

We had a wonderful anniversary and are looking forward to beginning our family in a few months.  We are so excited about LBR's arrival.  Hopefully, we will still be able to get away like this for our future anniversaries.  That is, if I can leave him/her for a night or two :)

Where does the time go?

It is hard for us to believe we are already 23 weeks along.  The time has flown by.  Everyone keeps telling me, just wait, it is going to start dragging towards the end.  I am really not so sure.  We are super busy, so our days our flying by. 

We went for our 23 week doctor's appointment yesterday.  We started our rotation schedule so we can meet the other doctors in the practice.  Everything went very well.  LBR's heartbeat sounded great and I was measuring perfectly according to the doctor.  The next doctor's appointment is in a month and I will be taking the glucose test then.  We also scheduled our 4D ultrasound.  Spencer is so excited to see LBR.  We figured  since technology allows you to see your child in 4D it would be great to have so we can show LBR when he/she is older. 

We are still in the process of working on the nursery.  Spencer has painted the closet and installed the closet organizer.  Finally, we were able to decide on a paint color.  I haven't been able to decide on bedding, so Joycie (my grandmother) and I went fabric shopping.  I found something I like and Spencer likes as well.  Now we just have to make the crib skirt and curtains and we will be set. The crib came in last week and we purchased LBR's highchair.  It's crazy to see kid stuff in our house.  But, yet very exciting too!!!!
