A Full Month

It has been a very busy month for us. It has been hard to find time to sit down and write anything, especially since Michael had a gazillion (yes I made that up) papers and projects to do and he needed the computer. Things are much less hectic now and I finally have a chance to look back and figure out what happened.

First of all, we had our first full anatomy ultrasound at the beginning of this month. Michael got to be there and so it was a really neat experience. We found out that we are having a baby boy!!!! The due date wasn't really changed. We are still on for around September 22nd. We will see when he actually makes his appearence. Several people have asked for a picture of me pregnant. Well, the picture below is me at around 20 weeks. I am currently about 22 weeks. My belly has really started to grow now and I am wearing maternity clothes and feeling pretty comfortable minus the heartburn and an upset tummy. I never know what a new day will bring being pregnant.

Michael's parents and his sister Joni and her husband Chase came into town the weekend of May 8-10. We got to go down to the coast on Friday and do some site-seeing with Michael's parents. As you can tell, we had a lot of fun and picked up some pretty cool shells.

That evening there was a graduation party for all of my Michael's MFT cohort. All ten of them were there and each was recognized in turn for all of their hard work. It has been fun getting to know all of them. There are a couple of pictures below from the party. They can be a pretty crazy bunch!

Saturday was an extra special day! Michael graduated!!!! I was so glad that his parents and family got to be there with him. It was definitely a tough two years for him and I am proud of him for sticking it out to the end. He is now an MA, well once he finishes a couple more clinical hours.

We were sad to see family leave after such a short visit, but we were so glad that they got to come. It is much less hectic around our house now and we are finally getting some much needed sleep. We are hoping to get away this weekend for a much needed mini-vacation.
