Belly Pics from a few weeks!

This picture was taken July 23, 2009 in Sedona, AZ on a weekend trip with Brad and Manda Leach. I was 16.5 weeks pregnant here and still able to wear regular clothes for a few more weeks.

My belly is getting bigger every week! This picture is taken in our back yard on 8-25-2009 at 21 weeks.

Ryan's Mom, Aunt Linda, and Granny sent us a box of tomatoes from their garden. Ryan thought I should take a picture with one of them! 9-13-2009 23.5 weeks

The weather is cooling down, but I am still wearing a tank top! 10-14-2009 28 weeks pregnant

This is where we are right now. Everything looks really good and she is moving around all the time. She likes to kick...especially in the middle of the night. Ryan really enjoys getting to feel her kick his hand on my stomach. We are excited to meet this little girl in about 12 weeks!

Summer 2009

A lot has been going on here in Arizona! We are excited that Carrie is 20 weeks pregnant and doing very well. We found out a couple of weeks ago that the baby is a girl. The name we are leaning towards is Stella Jane. Stella for Carrie's Great Grandma Mary Stella Price and Jane for Ryan's Grandma Barbara Jane Kunkel. The baby is getting bigger. She is about 8-9 oz and about 6 in long. She is a fiesty one, too! She kicks and tumbles all day long. Carrie loves every minute!

Vera and Shelly (Carrie's sisters) moved to Arizona at the end of July and are currently living with us while they find jobs, apts, cars, etc. The house is bursting at the seams, and Ryan is totally outnumbered, but it has been lots of fun.

To escape the heat, we went to San Diego and Los Angeles this past weekend. We left Wed. afternoon and drove to San Diego. Our friends, Brad and Manda Leach, loaned us this trailer to use camping. It was a nice spot to spend a couple nights in. We spent a day at the Dog Beach on Coronado Island (our favorite place!!). Wrigley was able to run up and down the shore, play with other dogs, jump in the water, and make an attempt at leaving the beach with another family. Luckily Ryan made a spectacular 100yard dash and caught her before she really got away! We found a delicious Seafood restaurant...Blue Water Seafood Market and Grill that I highly recommend. The crab is AMAZING!! Friday we went to Balboa Park in San Diego and walked around. We would like to return maybe in September or next summer and see some of the plays they do in the theaters within the park.

We drove up Friday afternoon to LA to spend a couple days with Ryan's cousins in Rosemead. Pete, Cindy, PJ, Ivan, and Nicholas Ostry are relative of Ryan's mom and are always so hospitable when we go visit. This weekend was especially nice because Ryan's Great Uncle Don Kersey had his 94th birthday. We got to meet cousins that Ryan had never been able to meet before. Uncle Don had an amazing wood shop that Carrie's Dad would drool over. He had made some very nice furniture for the house with his amazing woodworking skills. Pete and Cindy and kids took us to an amazing sushi restaurant that we are going to have to go back to next time we are in LA. The boys showed us their musical talent on Guitar Hero...they are really good for only having the system for a few weeks! We always have a fun time with the Ostrys!

Thank you all for taking time out of your day to catch up with us. We appreciate continued prayers for us during the remainder of the pregnancy. God bless.
