Lots of kicking!

25 weeks and counting. Choo Choo is making his/her presence known these days with lots of kicking/punching! Chuck has been able to feel the baby kick several times now, and I frequently giggle when it happens...even at work. Ha! :) We have been working more on the house to prepare - cleaning closets, organizing filing, etc. Not very exciting chores, but something I would much rather have us do before the baby arrives!

The last couple of weeks have been good. I took Chuck with me on a day business trip to Steamboat to visit a completed construction project last Monday. We had to drive in some snow over the passes, but it wasn't bad at all. It was nice to have a day in the office be spent in the mountains!! Tuesday and Wednesday our house was invaded by a very nasty stomach bug. It seems that I got the worst of it, and then gave it to Chuck since he was my nurse all day on Tuesday. The best news is that it was short lived since we left for Vegas on Sunday!

My cousin Laura and her new hubby, Eric, chose a destination wedding in Vegas last week. Eric has been a part of the family for a while now, and we were so happy to be there to make it official! Laura was a beautiful bride, and her two sisters (and two other friends) were gorgeous next to her!! The best part for me was my Uncle John being able to walk Laura down the aisle. His health has made the past few years hard on him, but he and Aunt Toni were just beaming as they walked Laura toward her new husband. Vegas 6 months pregnant was a bit less exciting for me than years past, but we had a great time. We stayed at Caesar's Palace and they had just redone their pool area - it was great! We even played blackjack at the swim up tables - so fun. We also got to see Scott and Vita Bauer (they live in Vegas). :)

This weekend has been filled with chores and organization. We did have Anderson Snyders hang out with us for a few hours yesterday. He is about 9 months old and is just adorable. He was particularly amused with our sliding door blinds. Chuck watched us both have a nap yesterday mid-morning! Ha! The cat was none too impressed with the house guest. And to make it worse for Zack, Indy hung out for a few hours after Mom and Dick came down with the snow-blower so we could go to lunch. A dog and a baby...rough day for the cat.

I'm feeling pretty good. Bending over is becoming increasingly hard! Chuck has been a wonderful help to me! Getting off the couch is a lot harder than I would like to admit...
