Summer = Travel Time

Man it has been a minute since I have written a blogpost. Seems like the days are shorter when really they are getting longer, more fun in the summer! Chris and I have been traveling like crazy! And since we have a little one on the way we have decided we need to take full advantage of it while we can! Fun trips include Chicago, Utah, Table Rock Lake, Louisiana, and Lake Powell. We were going to go to Nashville this weekend but we are a little tripped out. Maybe in the fall.

Chris has been super busy this summer. With late lectures, third years graduation and parties, new residents coming in, his interview in Utah, getting his resume and CV polished, applying to fellowships, finishing his research paper, presenting in Louisiana for his research, Chicago cataract conference, and now CHIEF! Whew that boy does not get a break! He is such a hard worker! Well one more year of residency and we are one step closer to finishing!!!

We celebrated our 5th anniversary this month! Wow can't believe it has been 5 years! Crazy... What better way to celebrate than to announce at rounds that we are pregnant! Chris gave a little shout out to me when doing his final rounds for the year.

I am staying pretty busy between work, school, travel, and being 14 weeks pregnant. No one told me that being pregnant is basically a job in itself!!! I have literally felt the week to week transitions of my body changing, feeling nauseous, tired, headaches. But that little baby is kicking away in there! I felt the baby at 10 weeks which is pretty rare! It felt like butterflies. Now that I know what it feels like I can  been able to feel more. I had my first ultrasound and they said they are going to keep the due date for January 1st, although that may be a little premature. When I was in Utah I was able to get another US and the tech said if I wanted to know what she thinks the gender is.. She said it is not for sure and possibly an 80-20 chance but let's just say there may be some bows and dolls in the future.

I will try to be better at my blogs and getting them out! Here are some pictures of our fun travels.

Have a great week!
