Finally Fall

So, what have we been up to in the last month? The quick answer is I've been growing a baby, Brett's been learning to be a doctor, and Ellie has been running around like a crazy toddler. Here's a little more detail.

On Labor Day weekend, we made it over to the Inner Space Caverns with some friends. (Thank you Sarah for the tickets) Ellie really liked the bats that we saw, and I liked that the caves weren't hot :). After that we spent time with more friends from Oklahoma and drove to Waco to visit Magnolia Market.


Brett has been busily doctoring, and we're adjusting to the fact that he has to go in on some weekends and nights now. Ellie is a little surprised when she wakes up and dad is still home, hah, but he always makes it home in time for dinner which is nice.

It's a little weird not knowing what kind of doctor you want to be but we are slowly narrowing it down I think. Surgery has always been off the table, and now family medicine is as well. Psychiatry & Internal Medicine are still in the running though so it will be interesting to see what happens.

At 17 weeks now, I'm definitely feeling larger but much less nauseous; I'll take that trade off any day! We're getting very excited to find out the gender in one week. I've also just started to feel baby move a bit and I love it!


Other than that, I'm just staying busy with the usuals, church, jazzercise, TMEA, choir, and music makers.

Ellie is a busy kid. She loves playing with friends and coloring; and she has also become pretty good at using the potty. She still has accidents, and she wears diapers to sleep in but I think she'll have it handled in plenty of time for baby #2.
