Life has been great, work has been fun and exhausting, church has been good, we got called to teach the sunbeams (3yr olds) and enjoy teaching together as a couple. There is a little to much sitting involved though so by the third hour I have to stand up in the back to let the baby stretch out a bit. Herbert is great at handling 3-4 3 year olds by himself. He is going to be a great dad.
Speaking of parents we are so excited to greet our little one! Our baby girl is Due July 26th and I am at the point where I am excited to meet her and about done being pregnant. Sometimes when I walk by our bathroom I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror and can't believe my stomach is out that far! It doesn't seem natural. I will post some pictures on here soon. We just got a watermelon to do a comparison belly size on Herbert. We made a list of projects we needed to get done before the baby comes and I think we are doing pretty good. Here they are.

Some of them are checked off and some still need to be done.
The rest of our list goes like this

• Make extra meals
Nothing has been done yet, but we are making plans to get them done. We did catch a cold this past weekend are are still recovering, thank goodness for air conditioning, Popsicles, smoothies and movies. Besides a trip to goodwill for their 50% off sale, and costco for food we slept the whole weekend. It was good to catch up on sleep and spend so much time together.
Oh I forgot to mention Herbert went to Florida to visit his family there, grandma, aunt, uncle and great uncle. It was such a good experience, Hopefully I can post some pictures on here. It was so good for him to see everyone he has not seen in about 2 years. I'm so glad he has no desire to live there, even though the visit went so well and the weather was perfect. This weekend there is a tropical storm sitting right on the gulf of Mexico by Florida so I am glad he was not trying to get home this weekend from there.
Grandma and Herbie (FYI Grandma and I are the only ones allowed to call him Herbie)
Also exciting news, we got a crib!!! It is the most beautiful thing! Its a Davinci - Kalani Crib, black, its amazing, Herbert did such a good job putting it together, here are so pictures of the process, when the baby's room is all done I will post some pictures of that, we are getting close, we got a rocking chair from craigslist which has a certain oder we call garage grandma, it was this guys mothers and it was sitting in his garage for awhile hence the combination.
Enjoy!
