Yeah, RoCkEtS!!

Here we are at the end of the club volleyball season.  Den and I are so incredibly proud of our nine thirteen year-olds!  We had a great tournament last weekend at CR Prairie.  We finally beat our club mates, the 13 Silver team for the first time all season and captured first place before we head to Des Moines this weekend for regionals.  Our ladies are some wacky, crazy girls.  Wanted to share some pics to show you exactly what we're dealing with...

They thought the side ponies would give them a little boost of energy after twelve hours of volleyball!

Second place at CR Washington!

First place at CR Prairie!!

12 Weeks to go...

I never thought I would be saying that.  Twelve weeks to go! 

We had our 28 week appointment yesterday and all is fantastic.  I've been having Braxton Hicks for about six days now, which is a little alarming considering we're still three months away from meeting our little peanut.  The doc checked us out and said he isn't going any where any time soon.  Phew!!  I measured in at 28 (cm) which is exactly where my belly should be (and my weight was perfect, too).  My days are a little more difficult considering I have three year olds biding for my attention all day, and bending over without losing my lunch just doesn't happen any more.  I can't believe we are 3/4 of the way there.  Seems just like yesterday I couldn't believe I was eight weeks along.  It really has flown by!

Home Sweet Home!!

We found it!!!  And, I couldn't be more relieved.  Our first home is beautiful, and everything Dennis and I could ask for.  There is plenty of space for out of town (or in town) visitors! :)  We've actually made the move back to Iowa City instead of staying put in North Liberty and we're located about 17 seconds from I-80, which is just a miracle.  We move in May 1st, which will quickly be followed by nesting mode in order to get ready for Mikey.  We are SO, SO VERY EXCITED (I'm smiling as I type this)!!  Everything is coming together.  I just keep asking how lucky are we?

Home sweet home!!

It keeps growing... and growing...

Here's my latest belly pic (taken at 25 weeks, 4 days)!  Michael Lincoln is starting to take over!!  :)

It's 2:23 in the morning...

And, I'm wide awake.  Argh.
