We are now officially in the third trimester! Joshua will be coming shortly after the holiday season. He's been pretty funny lately and amazing to me how much his little movements change in just a short week. He's definitely not a flutter of any kind anymore and is now making his presence clearly known as he's poking around in there. It's been fun because Ryan is now able to feel him a lot easier - all he has to do is lay his hand on my tummy when Joshua is awake.
I have been doing well. My headaches have been very manageable this past week. No really bad days which is wonderful!
Ryan's grant for this summer was approved! So that is a great answer to prayer as it not only provides extra funds to do his research but it also guides him in his research.
He is now working on his presentation for the conference, a publication and working towards writing a grant from NSF (National Science Foundation) which is a big deal. He's a busy guy, working hard but doing great, and for the most part enjoying his work.
We leave for Seattle Friday until the following Friday for Ryan's conference and a last get-away as just the two of us. The conference starts on Monday and goes until Thursday. We arrive Friday and have plans to go to Mt. Rainier, and Mt. St. Helens or possibly the coast depending on how we are feeling and how much we want to drive. We are staying one night in a lodge type place by Mt. Rainier as our special night. Sun - Fri we are staying in a hotel in downtown Seattle. Ryan will be going to the conference during the day and I am hoping to get a majority of our christmas shopping done, work on Joshua's baby book, and relax. In the evenings we are planning to check out more of Seattle - that's my job this week is to find fun places to visit in the evening with Ryan. We are also planning on seeing Michael, Ryan's brother, who is stationed near Seattle. It will be a wonderful trip and we are so thankful for this perk of Ryan being a professor :)
I need to download some pictures soon. We have some great ones of the baby showers, and now need to take some pictures of our basement - some before and after ones - the intervarsity students came Friday and painted it! It is an amazing improvement as you will see. It now feels like part of our home and not just a storage room. So great!
I hope you are all doing well and enjoying the beautiful fall weather. We are enjoying hot cocoa, football, wrapping up in blankets, and not raking the leaves - yet :)
love,
missy

We would love to see pictures of how Joshua's room is coming along (especially now that he is being showered with presents!!) Have fun in Seattle, but I do hope I get to talk to you before y'all leave!
Hey! It sounds like things are going really well. I can't believe that you are in the 3rd trimester! That due date is going to be here so soon! I hope you have a wonderful trip in Seattle.
Love you guys!
