Family photos
A week ago we had our great friends the Sherinski's take some photos for us. We are really impressed with how they turned out. It was actually fun and we think the baby enjoyed it to - he was kicking the whole time. :) Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Lots of updates
Well, I had another doctor's appointment last Friday - week 34 - can't believe there's only 6 weeks left. It was exciting to learn that he had completely flipped from the left side to the right side. She believes he is still head down, which is good. He's moving and kicking all the time now and Jeremy likes to poke him to get him started again. We started organizing the baby's room this weekend, open the pack n play and figured out how that works. Still trying to figure out how to fit all the pieces in the travel bag, from talking with other people, apparently it can be done.
Jeremy got a lot done on the dresser/changing table and it looks great. We had a moment of defeat, but after staring at it for awhile, someone came up with a good idea and it actually worked. It's all put together, the drawers just need to be installed and the whole thing needs to be stained. Went to Home Depot and I'm pretty sure we found a stain that will match the crib pretty well. Now the only thing that need to be built is the changing table part, which is just a box that will sit on top of the dresser and hold the changing pad.
We went to Babys-R-Us and purchased the crib bedding and receiving blankets. The nursery is slowly coming together...now if I can just figure out what to put on the walls. I have a couple of black frames, but I don't know what to put in them...I guess I could just wait and put pictures of him in them. Any suggestions?

Birthday Guess
Well, I'm 33 weeks along (can't believe it's gone by so fast) and we thought it would be fun to have you guess our baby's birthday! Official due date is October 9. What day do you think he'll come?
Leave a comment and let us know what day you pick and we'll keep it updated and cross off the days as they pass.

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!
