Hello dear family! How are you doing? What's the news from the great state of Ohio? Are y'all staying warm up there? We have been shocked by how fast the month of February has gone...maybe it's because it's shorter than the rest of the months in the year or perhaps it's just because it's winter and we've kept ourselves busy to keep warm :)
Wes is currently finishing up his last week on medicine and will begin OB (Block 10) this coming Thursday! It's really hard to believe that he's going to be in Block 10 (of 13) of his second year! Yikes! He'll be graduating before you know it! I have just been working as usual and have been enjoying spending more time with my girlfriends and high school girls group as Wes works a lot more during medicine blocks! It's usually a good time for me to catch up with girlfriends! My friend Clory is due in 5 days so I've been trying to see her as much as possible and I'm just waiting to hear some exciting news from her any day!
Little Juney is doing well! I am 25 weeks now and have enjoyed feeling her little kicks get stronger and stronger! Wes has loved getting to feel her more often too! I keep watching my belly to see if I can see her kicking and although I can see it move up and down it's not quite enough to tell whats going on! Haha, I am looking foward to the day where I can see her little feet when she kicks...haha I think! Not sure what that feels like but I don't think I'll mind too much :)

We have enjoyed making some progress toward actually having a baby this month! First, we attended childbirth classes at the hospital! They were really helpful and I learned a lot! Haha, Wes learned a lot about being the "support person" during labor and that sort of thing but he obviously knew all the more "medical" information. Haha, I on the other hand felt like I just sat there with my mouth gaping open as I learned more and more about what's going to happen...TO ME! Haha, I had prepared myself to watch a video of a birth but was unprepared to do so in the first ten minutes of class and it definitely freaked me out for the remainder of the time! It truly is amazing that God made it all happen like it does but those ladies did not look very happy...until the sweet little baby showed up of course! And that's what it is all about! Overall, it was a valuable experience and I am certainly feeling more confident about it now but at the time I left like a deer in headlights...not having any idea how I felt about any of it! Haha, good times :)
We also went to Greenville and made our registry! While it was a long and tiring process we had a great time together! My girlfriends had warned me ahead of time that it is super overwhelming and its better to just register for whatever you think you'll need and then go back and change it online...so that's what we did! We just recently bought our nursery furniture and that feels great! Haha, we were thinking about the furniture that we had as children and how we never thought about our parents having to research prices/quality, shop around for what they wanted, make a final decision and THEN deal with picking it up, moving it, and putting it together! We just knew that we got a cool new bed/desk/whatever! BIG thanks to both Moms & Dads for going through all that for us (many times)! It was a good feeling to know that June didn't have to worry about any of it...we just took care of it for her :)
After it was all over, Wesley took me out for a nice dinner at P.F. Changs! Yum! Here are some pictures from the day:

| We went to Grits N' Groceries for breakfast. This restaurant is owned by a married couple who used to be chefs in Emeril's kitchen and decided they wanted a smaller life...so they moved to Belton, SC (in the middle of nowhere) and opened this little restaurant. We had heard that the food is amazing and we were really excited to go! The people were really friendly, and after one awkward "preggers moment" where I made irrational decisions and ordered things I didn't want and Wes had to track the waiter down so I could change my order , we got our food! I confess that I was not as impressed with it as I was expecting to be. It was really greasy and underwhelming...but perhaps it's because I had allowed my expectations to grow so high or because I am used to eating Wesley's breakfasts on Saturday morning and his are always more healthy with lots of fruit and stuff. |

| Me outside of Grits N' Groceries. As you can see its a very small place! It's one of those places where they'll seat you with total strangers just to fill the chairs! I like places like that because it makes people more friendly! |
 |
| Um...I just need a pacifier......please? |
Other than that we've just been trying to spend time together whenever we can! We had some really nice weather last Sunday so we went for a walk on our usual route and took in the sunshine! Have you had any sunshine lately? Hopefully you have :)
 |
| Enjoying the sunshine, fresh air, and most of all each other's company! |
 |
| Juney enjoyed the walk too :) |
