Growing! Almost 8 months!!!

I can't believe how soon Rhys will be joining our family in our new home!  It is really exciting and we are trying to get ready for him!  Ryan celebrated his 27th birthday yesterday and we had so much fun sharing in his day with lots of friends and family.  We spent the weekend in Seattle visiting my college roommate and her family who were visiting from North Carolina...we only see them about once a year :(.  We spent all day Saturday with Derek, Joni, Aiden & Shawn (4 years old...almost) and Hailey (18 months...almost) it was so great to see them!  We went to this great Pumpkin Patch where there were rides, food, pumpkins, restaurants and all kinds of entertainment, they even had a petting zoo!  It was like Disneyland :).  The kids all fell asleep on the way home...along with pregnant Jaimee and then we headed to the Barry's to watch the Beaver game and enjoy some delicious food!  Sunday Ryan woke up to room service in our hotel for his birthday and then we got up and going to get to Cabella's for a little birthday shopping fun as well as the Nike Employee store where Ryan tried to update his shoe closet...not quite up to the level of Jaimee's shoes!  We also got a bunch of Christmas presents so I am feeling really accomplished in that department!  We then headed to the new house in West Salem where Ryan was greeted by all his family surprising him to celebrate the big day of BIRTH!  We had a delicious meal that Dana (Ryan's mom) prepared and some really tasty treats for desert!  Ryan was spoiled by many gifts and I even got a couple for baby Rhys!  We are really starting to collect a lot of baby stuff for him so he is already one lucky guy and so very blessed!  I'm hoping to buy paint this week so we can start preparing the nursery...should be tons of fun!  At our 30 week appointment last week he was still measuring about 4 weeks big so he might be joining us a little earlier then expected!  Anyway we are getting so excited to meet Rhys and can't wait to welcome him into a world so full of love and to so many wonderful friends and family!  We are feeling very blessed!
