Baby Update

Since I'd rather be on the computer than cleaning my house right now, I thought I would give our family and friends a brief update on our little guy. We have had a couple more ultrasounds in the past month just to do measurements and confirm that he is fully equipped with all of his organs. Everything is looking really good and we are grateful for that. Our doctor also has moved up our due date to November 7, although I don't believe him. I'm still saying mid-November. He is rapidly growing and these next 3 1/2 months can't go by soon enough. He's starting to kick more and harder. Occasionally I will have a sore rib because of him, but I can't blame him. If I was cramped in a tiny space like that, I would want to stretch too. Overall, though, things are looking really good and we have had multiple views of his "boy parts." There is no doubt about it. He's a boy. We still haven't decided on a name, but we have plenty of time. A couple of girls at work are throwing me a baby shower this Saturday. It's a little early, but we have to do it before they go back to school. Here's a picture of me at 5 months:

In other news, Clayton has less than a month of classes left in his first semester. He's doing a really good job. I think it's hard for him to study all the time, especially when we have Lego Star Wars on the Wii to distract him, but he's still doing really well. I'm looking forward to the 10 days he has off in between semesters so that I can spend a little bit of time with him. We will probably end up going camping during that time, which should be a lot of fun.
