Josh and I spent the weekend in Orlando, Florida celebrating our

4 year anniversary!!!!

(that's four exclamation marks in case you didn't catch the excitement)

When I look at Josh, I see...

a passionate man of God a faithful and loving husband a soon-to-be, excited daddy a strong leader an encouraging friend an inspiring communicator a great teacher an outgoing personality a gifted athlete a heart full of laughter a tender spirit

my husband!

I love you, Josh.

This weekend was also planned as our "babymoon." or in other words...

our last vacation together before the baby comes.

It was great to have this time together. I highly recommend it for all couples, expecting a baby or not. I will say this though, we are definitely EXCITED to be parents! We know it's going to be tough. We know we're not going to get any sleep. We know we will have less time to devote to "just us." But, we are ready.

We get the blessing of raising a child to know and love Jesus!

How AWESOME is that?!

We have enjoyed four wonderful years (well, seven if you count dating) together. And are so thrilled to relive and rediscover things through the eyes of a child! We spent some time at Disney World this weekend and loved it. But cannot wait til Micah gets to be with us!

 

We had a ton of fun "making memories" in Orlando this weekend! We ate at a dinner theater. Met some cool people from Ireland. Went to Downtown Disney. "Fork & dined" at the AMC theater (coolest experience!) And explored Epcot.

(Check out the video my hubby put together on his blog!)

And to let you guys in on a little secret of ours...we spent almost NO money doing all of this! It's definitely not for everybody, but we pride ourselves in being experts in "timeshare tours." Check it out for yourself here.

Today we had our 4D ultrasound appointment!Little Micah was in his usual, comfortable position...

on his tummy.

That doesn't work well when the ultrasound tech is trying to capture images of his face! :) She had me flipping over on my side a few times, but he would just cover his face with his hands when that happened. It was actually sort of cute to watch him "protect his territory." That's our little man. :)

I know they run a tight schedule with these appointments, so she didn't waste too much time trying to make me do anything ridiculous to get him in the right position - she just said we can try again next week. Of course, I would have loved to see more of him today, but this was enough to please me! And getting to see him again next week?! Well that is just icing! She did check his measurements, and he is progressing perfectly. He is estimated to be 2.9 lbs already! Keep growing little boy. You can stop at 6 lbs 1 oz like your daddy, I won't mind... :)

I'm already in love.

This week I am looking forward to:

1) Starting my third and final trimester of pregnancy! 28 weeks today.

2) Getting our 4D scan done and seeing our little boy again! on Wednesday. pictures coming soon!

3) Celebrating 4 wonderful years of marriage with Josh! in Orlando. this Thursday-Sunday. also passing as our "babymoon" (vacation before baby comes!)

I am so excited about this week. Lots of exciting things to look forward to! A little baby update... got my glucose test results back and they were normal! They did say my iron was a little low, but that was typical. Also, Josh already gave me one part of our anniversary gift this past week...

A MASSAGE!

Let me just tell you, that was probably the most relaxed I have felt in a long, long time. I have been waking up with cramps (as mentioned in previous post) and they were getting worse. Since the massage, I have had a noticeable difference in pain! It was the perfect gift. Thanks, my love. (oh and don't worry, he got himself one too!)

I hope everyone has a fantastic week as well! :)
