One of my birthday presents from Matt was a 4D sonogram that we recently took advantage of. Our first attempt was Friday, the 10th, but Miss Emery wasn't feeling very cooperative. So, we went back this past Tuesday and go some great shots, enjoy!

It's a Baby... Moon!
This past weekend Matt & I decided we should treat ourselves to one last weekend excurison- a babymoon/ birthday present for me! We figured we might as well take advantage of being able to easily pack up the car & go while we can. Although, Matt pointed out, everything we did was kid friendly already- we are turning into such parents!
We left Friday morning, hit the road to Austin, and had such a great time together. We stopped in Round Rock at the outlet mall & got Emery a couple of dresses (I just can't resist!) and tried to avoid the heat as much as possible! After that we headed to our hotel- The Driskill in downtown Austin, which is apparently haunted, uh, how creepy!! Thankfully we didn't have any unexpected visitors. :) After we were settled in we decided to go try & find Lance's bike shop - Mellow Johnnie's which ended up being just a few blocks from our hotel. I'm pretty sure Matt was in HEAVEN! It is a neat place to visit since they have alot of Lance's bikes from previous races to look at. We spent the rest of the night walking down 6th street & enjoying our dinner at the Iron Cactus, great mexican food!
Saturday morning we went to the Barton Springs Pool which was so great, but cold! It is a spring fed pool in the middle of Austin, but the average water temperature is 68 degrees. It was pretty shocking at first, but since it was already in the 90's it felt pretty good after a while. That afternoon Matt suprised me with a prenatal massage back at the hotel. It was EXCELLENT! I felt totally relaxed and was so happy they could make accomodations for a pregnant girl. Saturday night we had dinner at the hotel in The Grill which was so fun, but we missed out on the fireworks. We were almost done with our meal and all the sudden we heard loud bangs & knew we had missed them. I figured as long as we at least saw some on TV it would be ok. :)
Sunday morning we came home, and we are now back to the real world. Emery's nursery is coming along. We have the crib & the bedding put together which is a HUGE step. I love how everything is looking so far.
8 weeks to go! Enjoy the pics!
The always necessary stop at the bank!
The view from our room- amazing!
Front of the hotel, this is where we ate breakfast & it was so nice!

It was a tough job, but at least he had good help
