Officially IN my 30's...and only +/- 13 weeks to go till Baby H!

I think turning 31 might have been slightly harder than just turning 30...now I'm IN my 30's...not just 30. Wow. Justin and I took a walk the other night and were talking about how fast the first 30 years went and how in the blink of an eye we'll be 60 and wrinkly. That's crazy! It made us realize we need to make sure and treasure all the moments we have together!

Since spring has sprung (or wait, maybe it's already summer, since it's almost 80-90 here most everyday now)...we have enjoyed an evening walk together each night after dinner. Our neighborhood is just one block, so we just go around a few times and it's not super exciting, but the time together and the great conversations we have I am treasuring...since I'm sure walking with a kid in a stroller will be slightly different than just the two of us :). My favorite part lately is the cute little neighbor boy who is maybe 5-6 years old. For a couple of weeks he would ask, "Whatcha doing?" To which we would reply, "Just taking a walk." To which he would reply, "Ahhhh....". We always chuckled as we walked away. However, the other night it changed to "So, you just taking a walk, huh?" At least he's figured out that's what we're up to :). One night he even followed us around on his little razor and kept telling us to "Wait up for me!". I do wonder what his parents are up to, but at least he is keeping us entertained, and since it's just a one block neighborhood there's not really much traffic or anything.

Anyhow, aside from enjoying my birthday this week (did I mention I ate cake for my birthday for the first time in years??? pregnancy + birthday = bliss!), I also reached 27 weeks preggers--WOW! What is even more wow to me is that Andrea delivered the twins (I think) at 28 weeks...I would SO not be ready for that right now! It's really hard to believe how fast the time is going and that before we know it we'll meet our little bundle of joy! Pretty soon I'll have to figure out how to post a poll...and everyone can place their bets on if it's a boy or a girl. Basically, if you'd like to be a rebel...pick girl. Almost everyone, including our almost 3-year-old niece, Abigail, thinks it's a boy. Wishful thinking? Who knows! I, the one carrying the child, have no idea...so we'll just wait and see!

And finally, here's a lovely 27 week belly picture for you all. I really loved the shirt I had on this morning, so decided it was a good time for a pic :).
