Happy Halloween!

This year we all got dressed up for halloween and got to show off our costumes at work. I was a pregnant nun, Tim a surgeon, and Bubba was an adorable bumble bee.



What did you all do for Halloween? Have any fun trick or treaters? We don't get any, because there are no sidewalks by our house. :-(

Speaking of our house, it looks like our close of escrow will be once again delayed! We'll know more next week.....we're still hopeful. Luckily we don't have to move out of our current place.

Tim and I are going to a "Birth Intensive" workshop this weekend. I'm sure it will be super helpful and scary all at the same time. Have a great weekend!

October Updates

Hi everyone!

As many of you know we were supposed to move into our new home on Majestic Avenue today. However, due to a delay of our close of escrow, we've had to postpone it. The situation is very complicated, but basically the seller is settling a divorce and it's created a lot of problems. We are still very optimistic that we will close on the house and that hopefully will happen over the next couple of weeks. So we had to cancel our movers and all of the utility transfers....it was a pain, but the right thing to do. Keep your fingers crossed that things will still work out!

On a positive note, Tim and I celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary last Monday! It was really nice to get away from our home filled with boxes and enjoy a nice dinner.

Our baby boy is moving around quite a bit these days and I'll be heading into my 26th week on Monday. Time is going by quickly. We are starting some baby preparation classes on Sunday...everything from how to be great parents to preparing for birth and infant and child first aid and cpr. Phew! We're so lucky to have resources like these. I started taking a prenatal yoga class once a week and still go to my weekly hip hop dance class!

We hope you are all doing well.

Week 22!

Howdie! Tim and I just got back after spending some time in Shreveport, LA for my cousin Stacy's wedding. It was a lot of fun and so great to be with all of our family from my Dad's side.

Due to my flight being canceled on the way there, I was lucky enough to be able to go to the hospital to see my cousin Tristi's new baby! He is the most adorable little guy: Abraham Tripp Marshall. It will be so much fun having our two boys grow up together.

It's hard to believe that I'm already at 22 weeks. Here is an updated picture of my belly.... The pregnancy continues to go smoothly. I am just adjusting to sleeping on my left side and getting up several times every night to go to the bathroom. Other than that, I don't have any real complaints. We are very excited about the baby boy news and are constantly brainstorming boy names. Let us know if you have any recommendations.

Recent events

It has been a busy and fun week! Dena Bermann was in town from Chicago....so wonderful to see her.

Then I went to Montara Lighthouse on Highway 1 along the ocean for a kick off retreat with my awesome Area Director Team!

Tim and I just got back from celebrating my boss's, Glen Tripp, 40th birthday at beautiful Costanoa. Here is a picture of Glen and his wife Lauren and a pic of Tim and I. It was a nice getaway!

I leave for Shreveport, LA Tuesday morning and then Tim will join me on Saturday for my cousins wedding. We can't wait to see all of the familia down South.
