29 weeks and Updates!

Lots of updates!

Carolyn did pass her boards and began her job last week and so far it seems great! Her co-workers all seem very friendly and it felt wonderful to use her skills and work with patients again. It really seems like its going to be a perfect situation for us.

Last weekend Sean's parents and Carolyn's mom drove up to Reston to help us move to our new town-home! The move couldn't have gone any more smoothly and we are almost completely settled. We are LOVING having more room and finally having a place to really settle and make our own, since we'll be here for at the very least, a year. Pictures are coming! Sean's big project, starting tomorrow, is to tackle constructing all of Claire's nursery furniture. We can't wait to officially start putting her room together!

We had another doctors appointment today and everything seems to be going well. Carolyn's glucose test, that screens for gestational diabetes, came back perfect and her blood pressure and blood work all look great. Claire's heart rate and growth are right on tract and she continues to spend her days dancing around in Carolyn's belly, something we have really enjoyed watching and feeling! We are officially into our third trimester and we now have doctors appointments every two weeks for the next 2 months and then every week after that. We are getting closer and closer to her arrival!

Please continue to keep our sweet girl in your prayers that she continues to grow and remain nice and healthy!

Here's a shot of the Belly today at 29 weeks and 3 days!

26 Weeks

Things are going great with Miss Claire. She's very active and dances in Carolyn's belly all the time. Some of her kicks are even a bit painful, but it's a great reminder of how well she's doing, so we don't complain :). Carolyn finally took her physical therapy board exam this past Monday, Jan 30th, and is now playing the waiting game and waiting to hear the results. She will begin her new job as a PRN physical therapist on Feb 13th (as long as she passes!) Sean continues to enjoy his job at the USGS and is enjoying his co-workers, his work, and especially a flexible schedule... which will be great after our girl arrives!

We've found a church in the area that we really enjoy and hope to get plugged into a small group soon so we can dive in with community and start meeting new people in the area. We feel very blessed for everything and want to thank you all for your continued prayers!
