Hello Family! Welp...things are getting exciting! Only 6 weeks to go.  We are in full baby-prep mode whenever we're not in work mode! The nursery is coming along and we just tackled our "nightmare room" yesterday.  We weren't able to get it done unfortunately (it seriously was a nightmare) but it felt really good to make some progress! Things have been pretty crazy for me with IEP season starting in mid-April but I'm doing good and am on target to take my last 10 days off! Yay! Can't wait! Wes just started a two-week block of medicine and he'll switch to Neuro soon! April was a busy month and I can't believe how fast it flew by.  We are getting SO SO excited to meet our sweet baby girl!

34 weeks! Haha, I think I look bigger than I feel  :)

I haven't been able to comfortably reach my feet for a long time now (haha, even back at like 18-20 weeks I think) so Wes has been painting my toenails for me! I must say that his pedicures are even better than those at the salon! He even gives me a foot massage beforehand...haha although I guess he does that pretty frequently anyway, but with the nail polishing too it certainly feels like a salon pedicure! He does a great job and I so appreciate him! 

I took this video yesterday...it's Juney moving around in the morning! I've been trying to get a video of her for a while and this is the only one I've been able to capture! It's about a minute long but you can see her the best around 30 seconds into it so feel free to jump ahead if you just can't wait 30 seconds :)  These honestly aren't the biggest "pokes" and "rolls" that I've seen but it's all I've been able to get on video! I'm lying on my left side.  Click here to view the video:  http://youtu.be/pBhYjOSJoPQ

We took some pregnancy photos with our friends Dave & Tammy.  They have kind of ended up being the "official photographers" of the residency program! They just took them a few weeks ago so we only have two pictures so far...we can't wait to see the rest!

 

The highlight of our month was coming to Ohio to see you all! And our little trip to Atlanta but I'll talk about that later! I know that Wes wasn't able to see all of you but I got to see everyone and it was fabulous to catch up with everyone! Here are some pics from the week:

Catching up with Dad and Lynn at Cracker Barrel!

Libs and I showing off our manicures :) 

Enjoying Skyline with Mom & Libs! Going to Skyline was on my "to-do list" when I visited Ohio! It was very important that Juney get a taste of Skyline before she's born! Haha, I think she liked it :) 

Hanging out in Cincy with John & Kim! 

Now pictures from the baby showers...so much fun to celebrate little June! Everyone was so generous and we felt very blessed to have so much support from our wonderful families!

Opening presents...Libs bought that cute little ladybug outfit for Juney!

Thanks ladies for throwing such a wonderful shower! 

Me with Beth, Melanie, and Johnna...my OSU friends! They bought June two OSU onesie...so cute!

Me with Katie, Brittany, and Jenna...my high school friends! Katie and Brittany are both pregnant right now too so here we are modeling our bellies and sporting our number of weeks! Haha, Jenna has a +2 sign because although she's not currently pregnant she already has two kids! 

Getting ready for the baby shower!  Here we are making fruit kabobs  for our "Hungry Caterpillar" tray! 

Dana and Dixie threw a "storybook themed" baby shower so all the snacks went along with a popular kids book.  It was so cute! 

Opening presents...everyone picked out such adorable things for June! She'll be stylin' in these clothes!

The fam after our bonfire.  We so enjoyed meeting Brent's new girlfriend, Megan.  What a great gal! 

Wes had several interviews while we were in Ohio and we were impressed with them! So...now we're maybe going to have a few more options as to possible practices for him to join.  We have become so used to the "temporary" living situations that its harder to make this decision because we feel like its a little more "permanent."  Please keep us in your prayers as we make decisions about our future!  Needless to say we're putting these decisions off until after June comes...haha, too much to think about!

After our trip to Ohio we headed back to work and life became busy again!  Lots to do when you're so important :)  Haha, but seriously, we did get to go to Atlanta for a long weekend, which was really fun! Wes attended a conference during the day but we enjoyed seeing some of Atlanta in the evenings!  The program put us up in the Ritz Carlton (very nice!) so I was super comfortable all day at the hotel! I wrote some IEPs, read a little bit, and enjoyed watching HGTV! Here are a few pics from the weekend:

Our Thursday night dinner ended up being quite a bust.  I felt like  an "upscale" burger joint  kind of place so we went to this place that said they had the best burgers in Atlanta but turns out they only serve them AFTER 10:00.  Haha, we were laughing about how this is the WORST restaurant ever for a pregnant lady! It was SO small and the tables were so squished together that I couldn't fit through the space sometimes so people would have to scoot their chairs in. 

Not only was the restaurant itself small but the portions were really small! Haha, this is Wes' entire dinner.  Again, not awesome for a pregnant lady! 

This was my IEP writing station while Wes was at his conference!  

Wes took me to this fancy restaurant called the Atlanta Grill.  They  put pink rose petals all over our table  when we told them that we were celebrating a "babymoon." It was so sweet and the service and food was excellent! 

There was a mix up in the kitchen and they brought my meal out before Wes' was ready (which happens all the time at other restaurants) but because this place was so classy our waiter was super sorry about it and he gave us free dessert and coffee! Awesome! 

 Welp, that's about it for April I guess.  Haha, sorry sometimes I feel like I don't write very much in here but it takes me a long time to write it out and then I just get tired by the end sometimes :)  Haha, I'm a lot more tired these days! We can't wait to see all of you soon and introduce you to our daughter! Please be praying for a safe and healthy delivery and baby! We'll be sending lots of pictures/videos!

Love you!
