What Happened to May?!?! Warp Speed!

Ok, it's been a while since we've posted. Perhaps that would lead you to think that there's not really much going on worth talking about, but really, that is the farthest from the truth! The month of May was packed--from Florida, to Mother's Day, a trip back to Wisco for the baby shower, all kinds of goings on at work, and endless baby prep at home. I can't believe how fast time is flying by!!!

The trip back to WI for the baby shower was a blast! Held over Memorial Day Weekend, Addie (sis-in-law) and Eileen (Pete's mom) hosted the event for us--lots of family and friends joined us for the afternoon, and we were lucky enough to receive many beautiful, useful, and generous gifts from everyone. Addie, (who is also pregnant and probably used up a week's worth of energy running around organizing everything!) of course, thought of everything! Coloring books for the kids , a name game to help us with our name indecision, and beer-filled baby bottles for the menfolk! :) Who could ask for more at a shower?!

Unbelievably, that trip home was my last Kat (mid-wife) approved travel---I am now far enough along and preggo looking enough that air hosts/hostess seem to be a bit nervous as they see me board the plane:) And, maybe they are right... The trip back to SLC was a tough one--it was a growing day for me (I tend to grow in spurts about 12 hrs long that are very achy, tight, and exhausting) and we had about 4.5 hrs of uncomfortable flying and a jaunt through the Minneapolis airport. Finally arriving home and being able to go lay in my own bed was a beautiful thing that day:)

But, rest assured that I have done everything in my power to make sure that Baby Thunder embodies the same wanderlust as his/her Momma! In 7.5 Months, Baby T has been to:
  • Backcountry camping in UT's Red Rocks Country
  • Tucson, Arizona
  • Georgia (2 times)
  • Wisconsin (2 times)
  • Up and down Central California Coast
  • Las Vegas
  • Anna Maria Island, Florida
Pete and I are excited to be able to be able to introduce Baby to all the cool places in the world--"Oh the places you will go!".
