This Week in Pictures

Yesterday was Brad's and my five-year "meetiversary." Next week we'll celebrate our four-year "engage-iversary." I'm finding myself just filled to the brim with gratitude. God has been so good to us in so many ways, not the least of which is this blessing we're expecting in July.

I just cleared some pictures off my camera, so I thought I'd offer a photo update on our lives over the past week.

Brad priming the red wall in the guest bedroom. No more red! Hooray! This weekend or maybe sometime in April we'll paint the whole room. The beginnings of a nursery!

Brad admiring the registry gun while relaxing in a rocker/glider at Babies 'R' Us. Read about that visit here.

While registering, I asked Brad if he thought we should get a "soft friend" for Baby G. Our choices were a monkey or a giraffe. I held up the giraffe and said, "This is kind of cute," and Brad balked and said, "What is that? A koala?" He had me rolling! How does this giraffe in any way resemble a koala?! I thought Brad needed to seriously brush up on his zoo animals until Brad pointed out the tag...

The brand of this stuffed animal is called Koala Baby. Which led Brad to believe that it was a koala. My man is pretty cute. ;)

Brad proved he is the champion mini-golfer on our date day (read about that here). We weren't keeping score, but he was undoubtedly winning. Here he is illustrating a fancy "between the legs" shot.

Wearing a work dress after spending a couple of days in San Antonio. My bump is getting bumpier! (And I know, what a cliche - barefoot and pregnant. At least I'm not in the kitchen!)

St. Patty's bump. Took this picture today. Baby G is part Irish, since I believe we have some Irish ancestry on my dad's side. Also, I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I was waiting for the awesome "pregnancy hair" everyone raves about to kick in. I think it finally did! I'm noticing it's thicker and growing faster. Hooray!

Brad and I are going to a nice steakhouse tonight, Bob's Steak and Chop House, to celebrate our meetiversary, engage-iversary, and the fact that it's spring break right now, so we actually can enjoy an evening together. Usually, we don't see much of each other during the week because our schedules are so opposite. 

Again, so much to be thankful for!
