Our Coolest Baby Accessory Yet!

The BOB Running Stroller!

REI had them on sale for 20% off and we had some gift cards (Thanks Pat & Kesa & Jenn) so we couldn't resist. We are officially excited soon to be parents given how much fun we have buying stuff and getting ready. We can't wait to meet our little one and take them for a run.

32 Weeks & Lookin Good!

5 more weeks and the baby is considered full term! Less than 2months til the due date.

We are waiting for it to start cooling off here in the Valley of the Sun, but Karen seems to be doing great. She has a little swelling in her ankles and the wedding rings are definitely not coming off, but the check ups at the OB continue to go very smooth.

The baby has really been moving lately and you can see it move just watching Karen's belly. It seems as though we may have a little gymnast on the way. The nursery is ready and we have so many hand me downs from friends and family that all we need now is a baby. We have really narrowed down our name lists but we continue to hear that we may change our minds as soon as we see him or her.

We will see some of you soon at the baby shower and others of you after the baby arrives and we can't wait. We are thinking about you all and hope that you are as happy and healthy as we are.

Flagstaff

This weekend Greg and I went up to Flagstaff with Angie, Mike and Maria for the Flagstaff Big Brothers Big Sisters 1/2 Marathon and 5K. It was a great weekend with perfect weather to help us escape the heat. Greg, Angie and Mike all did an awesome job running a very hilly 1/2 marathon and I walked the 5K. Here are some pictures from the race.

The beautiful trail

I was so proud of Greg. He did great! The rest of the weekend we had so much fun relaxing at a beautiful condo on a golf course. We ate out at our favorite Flagstaff Brewerys, went to parks and crawled around on the golf course grass with Maria.

Then, this little girl...

took her first steps!

We were so thankful to have a place to stay.

Here is Greg and I in the backyard by the golf course.

29 Weeks in the Nursery

Hi Everybody

Here is a picture of Karen at 29 weeks in the new nursery.

We converted our loft and it turned out great.

We can't wait for all of you to see it when you come to visit.

The 3rd Trimester

Karen is now in her 3rd trimester and she is doing great! We just went back to see the OB and everything is perfect. The baby's heart rate is 152 and it is just as active as mom squirming around in her belly all the time. Karen has gained the perfect amount of weight and continues to walk, do yoga, and goes to spin class. Karen never complains, even though it has been really hot here lately, and as always is very happy. She is a good baby grower!

Hello Everyone!

This is our 1st post and we wanted to get started before the baby comes so that we can keep you all up to date once he or she arrives. We hope you enjoy it.

Love, Greg & Karen
