Pregnancy Update

Things are moving along nicely with the pregnancy. We have entered into the 3rd trimester (where things get difficult again) and the baby is busy punching/kicking Janel frequently. I think I hear the phrase "I can't breath" about 10 times a day now. I am glad I am not the pregnant one :P. Janel is really starting to show, and will really start to put on the pounds over this final stretch.

We will be starting baby courses and such later this month (common question), so that should be both useful and painful.

I posted a bunch of photos of Janel at different points in the pregnancy. Here is one from today. You can click on the album name (below the image) to see more.

Parents Visit

My parents came out to visit for the weekend, and we had a busy one.

Saturday we spent much of the day doing some shopping getting ready for the baby.

Sunday Danny and Anna were hosting a Chicken Roast at their place in the afternoon/evening. So, we headed downtown and spent some time at Hoyt Arboretum and Pittock Mansion (we had never been to either place). Nothing particularly amazing -- but definitely a nice place for an easy walk (great for a pregnant Janel).

Here is a photo of some flowers with Janel in the background.


Here is a photo of my parents.

After walking around Hoyt and Pittock Mansion, we headed over to Danny's Chicken Roast. Apparently this is a popular thing down South. It was definitely a good time :). Here is a photo of all the chickens on the spit. You basically just shove a bunch of chickens on a big long piece of wood held up by two car jacks, spread coals out on the ground, and let 'em cook a few hours. Tasty.
