39 Weeks!

Waiting, Waiting, Waiting... I had an ultrasound on Monday, August 24th. Based on the measurements, the baby's estimated weight was 6lbs. 7oz. Currently, I'm still working everyday, and receive may comments from co-workers, "you're still here!" I'm not planning to work on or after my due date, so it will only be a few more days.

Happy 2nd Birthday Grace

We celebrated my niece's birthday on Saturday, August 22nd. The party was at the Marion community park. The weather was great, nice & cool. Grace loved being the center of attention and had lots of goofy smiles (eyes closed & lots of teeth)!

Grace received an art easle doodle station from Grandpa & Grandma Meier and the Bergmans.

Happy 3rd Birthday Josie!

Tim's niece, Josie, is 3 years old today. We celebrated her birthday on Sunday. She had a very special princess cake! An action shot blowing out the candles.

Josie received lots of princess gifts. She is modeling a tinkerbell dress that she received from Grandma Bergman.

Pregnancy Update: 37 Weeks

I've reached the 37th week in my pregnancy. I now have weekly doctor's appointments. After this week's exam, the doctor said that nothing was going on... I have to admit that I was a little disappointed; it seems like we've been waiting so long for the baby to arrive. I've been a little tired, but still feeling pretty good. Thus far, I have successfully avoided the pregnant waddle, but I seem to spill more food on my belly.

My bags are packed, I'm ready to go...

On a different note, the Dad-to-be continues to maintain a meticulous standard of landscaping. He pulled a massive thistle from one of our ornamental grasses. He claims he would have needed a backhoe to remove it if it had grown another couple weeks!

Hocking Hills Vacation

The Bergman family went on the annual Hocking Hills Vacation during the last weekend of July. Tim & I arrived on Thursday, July 30th and went home Monday, August 3rd. We stayed at a very nice log cabin called Wyrick's Hillside Lodge. It had 5 bedrooms, 3-1/2 bath, hot tub, pool table, ping pong table, and foosball table. Other than a couple golf outings, we didn't leave the cabin, but had a weekend full of family time with lots of eating & drinking.

Tim & I got a blow-up pool approximately 8'x 6'x 2'deep. We placed it on the deck next to the hot tub. The pool was a big hit! Tim decided to rename it the "Cool Pool."

Congratulations Bill & Beth!

On July 24th, Tim & I went to Bill Streib & Beth Everman's wedding. We had the day off work & we had a great time!
