27.5 weeks




Or 70% of the way there.  This past weekend we celebrated our anniversary (a bit late) and Marc's birthday in the Hill Country.  It was the first time we had been back since we got married there.  We took Ned and stayed in a cabin on the Blanco river.  It was VERY hot and the river was low but we still had a great time.  We even went back to the ranch where we got married and took a picture.  I proclaimed that we will go back every year and take a picture at the ranch.  We'll see how that works out.  
On the baby front I am almost in my third trimester and Dong is moving a lot now.  It is mostly fun but some what difficult when she/he likes to start break-dancing as soon as I lay down to sleep.  We did order a crib (12 weeks for delivery) and register.  That is about as far as we have gotten on baby stuff.  Our house is on the market and we are just praying that someone will want to buy it before I go into labor (preferably a month or two before that point).   The next few weeks should be busy with a babymoon and baby showers so hopefully I will put more pictures up.  
Oh yeah the Zebras!  We were driving on this tiny country road near Johnson City and came across three zebras and a private airstrip.  Crazy.  Must be some rich oil baron who loves black and white.  Also the picture of Ned in the water is at Perdenales Falls State park.

... or for those who prefer I am 60% of the way there. Yikes! I am thinking that means we should start thinking about the whole crib and baby room thing.  At least we have finally got it together and have a picture to share of the tum tum.  I think I have "popped" or at least there are a lot more people outright asking "are you pregnant". Btw, who says that, really?! So recent advances are Dong has really started to move and Marc has even felt it kick. It is really amazing to feel that.  What a miracle!  Dong has been to Portland, OR, Toledo, the Poconos and a Coldplay concert in the past month. Oh yes, other big news is our house goes on the market this weekend. What is that theory about the 5 most stressful events that occur in ones life and not trying to do more than one of them at a time?
