Sorry about my lack of blogging. I've been busy trying to get organized and a little ahead for school. We've had lots going on lately too! A couple weeks ago, we went home to meet our brand new nephew Jack Lucas "Luke" Burks (parents Stephen-my brother- and Ashley Burks). It killed me to wait until he was 10 whole days old to meet him, but I'm glad I did. We got a lot more quality time with them than if we had gone down for the birth. Below are some pics from our visit. Erica and Alan came over for dinner one night, so we got to visit them too! Nanny, Pa, Uncle Doug, and Michael's Parents dropped by on Friday, so we got to visit other family too!
Look out world! Four generations of Burks men!! And they are all sort of looking at the camera...not an easy task!
My BFF Erica and sweet Luke.
Michael and I and baby Luke! I was so impressed with Michael holding him since he was still so tiny. Good practice for when our little one arrives!!
Below are some belly pics. I think its looking more like a baby bump and less like a beer gut. At least humor me and agree! Please excuse my chubby face. Its the first thing to gain weight anytime I do (remember Thailand...?)
I went to the doctor on Monday and everything checked up wonderful! Baby's heartbeat is great! Doctor says I'm fine on weight gain (7 lbs.). She wants me to drink more water though--60-80 ozs a DAY! Holy Cow! I'm trying real hard!
We find out boy/girl on September 17th. How about we take a poll? Leave a comment with your guess. If you have a suggestion for a boy name, leave that too! We are struggling there! Middle name: Edward. I'm going with a GIRL!
