Florida

The past week we've been in Florida visiting friends and family for our Babymoon (the last vacation before the baby comes...and things get really crazy.) We flew to Orlando and stayed with our great friends Joe and Amanda who live in Melbourne, an hour southeast of Orlando. We had a great time just hanging out, eating some great food and playing in the water at the beaches. We went to Melbourne Beach, Cocoa Beach and North Shore beach. We definitely enjoyed Cocoa and North Shore beaches the best because of the great waves. We boogie boarded and collected black and gold shells for their Mizzou room. We had some great pizza at Bizarro's and good seafood at Coconuts on the beach. Of course we took them to Sonny's and treated them to the best bbq.

Joe and Amanda's dog, Diesel.
Boogie boarding!Here's our picture in front of the now famous Miss Mizzou boat.And some great pictures at sunset out by the beach.
28 weeks
Monday we rented a car and drove to Milton to see Jeremy's sister and her family. We relaxed by the pool, ate some more great food, played with our nephews and got rained on when we tried to visit the Black River State Park. This park is only 30 minutes away and it great. It was white sandy beaches and the spring fed river has a sand bottom.

One of the last nights Lynn took us to her office and we got some more ultrasound pictures of Baby Gaither. 120 to be exact. It was really fun and the 3D pictures are amazing. He's got my ears, but his face is all Jeremy. He even pouted while Lynn was poking at him and he looked just like when Jeremy pouts and sticks out his lower lip. Very cute! We were hoping to go back another night to get longer video clips, but ran out of time.

Here's a couple of the 3D images, I'll try to post more later in the week.
Thanks to the Johnson's and Tierney's for having us. We had a great time and you're welcome at our house anytime! I would also like to thank Travis and Lauren Wilson for a ride to the airport and Katie and Myla Hunsaker for a ride home. You all made our Babymoon a great relaxing time!

We're back!

Well, we're back and back to work. :( Hope to have more updates about our vacation and pictures later today or tomorrow.

Well, we're off on our babymoon to Florida. We'll start by visiting friends who just moved to the Orlando area and finish it off by visiting Jeremy's sister and her family around Pensacola.

Check back in a week for new 3D ultrasound pictures and video of Baby Gaither! :)

Nesting

Well, the nesting has begun. At least the thinking about nesting. I've already found the organizers I want, but am waiting until after vacation to order them so they don't arrive while we're gone. I did a pretty big re-organization back in January, so hopefully I won't be changing too much of that. I basically just trying to get everything ready for all the stuff we'll be getting soon for Baby Gaither. Last night, I couldn't sleep because I kept thinking about organizing. Oh well, can't wait until next week when we leave for vacation and keep checking back for more ultrasound pictures and video!!!

The 4th

My family came up to spend the 4th with us. We worked on shower invitations and dad and Jeremy got the crib put together. It looks great. Now we just need a mattress and bedding. Oh yeah, and the car seat arrived in the mail from Grandma Gaither! Toby likes it and we just have to make sure the cat doesn't think it's hers.

Friday night we went to a local festival, saw Craig Morgan perform and watched the fireworks while it sprinkled.

Saturday night we went to some friends house, shot off fireworks and went down to the riverfront to watch the fireworks again...this time in the pouring rain, but luckily we had our big umbrella. I don't think I've ever watched fireworks in the rain.

We're getting super excited about our vacation coming up in 10 days! We're going to visit our good friends Joe and Amanda and Jeremy's sister, all in Florida. Should be fun and relaxing!

Happy Birthday Jeremy!

For Jeremy's birthday we went to an amazing restaurant. Morton's Steakhouse down in Clayton. They sat us in a special booth, took our picture, had it printed and gave us a copy and the menu's were specially printed just for us with Happy Birthday Jeremy! printed at the top. We felt like royalty. And all this was before we had any food to eat. Then the food came. It was amazing! We had Caesar salads, shrimp, crab cakes, steaks cooked to perfection, mac n cheese (yeah, I picked that one), asparagus, bread, and chocolate molten lava cake with ice cream. And everything was really good! We took home 3 doggy bags.
