Friday's Alive

The city of Lexington hosts "Friday's Alive" a few weekends during the summer. This year they had a bluegrass band called "Blue Moonshine" come. http://www.bluemoonshineband.com/. We decided to go and check it out. It was actually pretty fun. There were a lot of people there, older couples, young couples, and lots of kids. The band was really good and the music was fun to listen to. They had a few vendors selling food, your basic pizza, ice cream and beer. What else could you ask for? We got some pizza and sat and enjoyed the evening. The weather was perfect and you can't beat the green rolling hills and trees that make up the backdrop!

I don't know what is up with my hair in this picture. It is only in a ponytail but it looks like I got a boy haircut!! I had to take a picture of these 3 ladies. They would periodically get up and dance! It was cute!

And what is a city event without the local fire department coming to check it out. They had 2 fire trucks there. They lifted the ladder so they could take pictures of the whole event. I can't believe how high those ladders get. It was cool!

Baby Pictures

Yesterday was our last appointment with the fertility clinic in DC. We are glad that we don't have to make that drive as often now but very sad to say goodbye to our doctors and nurses. The ultrasound they did produced some great pictures of our little one! We are so excited and now that we have heard the heartbeat and have seen these new pictures it is really starting to sink in and becoming more real to us. I am 13 weeks now and time is flying by.

This first picture is of our baby's head and you can also see an arm and a leg.

This next picture is of the back of the head and body and a great shot of the spine.
This last one is our favorite. You can see that our baby is laying on his/her head with his/her little bum sticking up in the air. How adorable!

Update

Spencer took back his suit to the alteration place and they are going to give us a full refund for the price of the suit. I am so relieved! We didn't even have to get pushy about it. The manager was very nice and just wrote us a check.

On another front. We just moved into our new apartment. It is a duplex that is in town and only about 1 mile from the school. It only took me 6 minutes to get to work today, instead of the 20 it would usually take when we lived in the cabin. We really like it and will send pictures once we finish unpacking. We also bought a new couch. We are very excited about that. Since we didn't come out here with hardly anything and the cabin was furnished, we have had to scrape bits and pieces of furniture from here and there to furnish our new place. We have actually acquired or bought some really great pieces and I think it will all come together nicely. Oh and we bought a new bed! That is the best news. The bed at the cabin was horrible! It gets delivered tomorrow and we are going to sleep so good! I can't wait.

Baby update: I am 12 weeks today! I have been feeling pretty good lately. I think in total, I was only sick (constant nausea) for about 3 weeks. Not bad! I mean I still have my days now and again but it hasn't been bad at all. Right now I'm mainly just tired. Everything I eat gives me a gross aftertaste, which is driving me crazy. Oh, I signed up for an Aqua-cise class at the local pool. I can start next week. I am pretty excited about that. I have been on a strict "no exercise" rule, but swimming is okay. The pool is only a short 10 minute walk from our apartment too. Right next to the pool is a park and basketball courts. There is also a huge baseball field and a little league field as well. It is a great area. We are really going to like our new location.
