29 week sonogram

here's our latest picture! it's getting more difficult to get a picture with jackson's whole body. the technician said he weighs about 2.5 pounds, right on track!

kitchen, belly, and new niece!

keith has been working very hard over the last 2 weeks in the kitchen and has gotten all of the cabinets stained and the walls painted. here's the before

and the after

we still want to redo the counters and the floor, but so far we are very happy!!

as far as the belly goes, we are now at 28 weeks and officially in the 3rd trimester! it seems like the first 12 weeks went by so slowly and now i feel like the next 12 will be over before we know it. we are so excited to meet our son.

our new niece was born today!! anna louise and mom are doing very well. i can't wait to meet her, too!

colorado trip

keith and i were able to take one last trip to colorado before the baby is born a few weeks ago. we are so fortunate to have such generous family and friends and we got so many great things for jackson. it was great to be able to capture a picture of erica and i with our baby bumps. i can't believe their little girl will be here in just 5 weeks and our little boy will be here in 13! we have some work to do...

we made a trip up to the mountains to see jen, jake, and jameson but had to cut the trip a little short due to a stomach bug going around. luckily, keith and i never got it, but we didn't want to take any chances. instead we were able to spend a day in breckenridge thanks to jason and erica. breck is truly one of our favorite places to go, and we always have a great time while we're there. it was also nice to be able to spend the day together as i'm sure those days are going to be few and far between pretty soon. 

since we have been back, keith took on a kitchen renovation project. it's going to look great once it's finished. i will post kitchen and nursery pictures as soon as they get closer to being complete!
