Week 54

My Mom and step-Dad came for a visit this past week. We had a great time showing them Denver, eating good food, relaxing, shopping, working on a puzzle and completing a sewing project. They sure loved "living" downtown for a few days. And we loved playing host! Thanks for taking the time to come visit us!!

Me, cooking. Man, I look like I've eaten too much. I promise, its the baby, not me. The horizontal stripes don't help either.

We made them our homemade pizza. I don't think they were used to eating pizza with spinach, mushrooms, onions and well nutritious things on it. ;)

We also hit our favorite Mexican restaurant one evening. That made up for the nutritious pizza.


Eric loves when people sit in our "library"...

Buffalo Sabres season home opener occurred while they were here. Eric told me that his Mom used to decorate for the home opener. I obliged and went and got balloons. Lu, is it true? Did you really decorate?

Speaking of Eric's Mom, she crocheted this beautiful blanket for our soon to be baby. I absolutely love it!
16 week doc appointment today. Everything looks good. It sure is nice being married to a red-head. The nurses and doctor remember Eric every single time we go to the office. I just look like any other person but Eric has a distinct look and they always remember him. And they treat us better for it. Its so weird, and nice! We asked for another ultrasound today just to see how the baby looks and the doc didn't even hesitate. He will have to come to every appointment with me now!

Final item of our week was the annual Fans on the Field race. We once again were able to sit in the dugout at Coors Field and feel really cool being on the field. The event was a 10k. I did maybe 3 miles and Eric finished the whole thing. If you recall, I kicked Eric's booty last year so its only fair. Next year, I intend to kick his booty again.


Thanks again for coming to Denver Mom!!

You guys are always having a good time. I think it is hilarious you get treated better with Eric there. The power of the redhead I guess.

Did you see what you are having? Usually you can tell at 16 weeks!

balloons, really?
THAT is classic.

here's hoping the little bambino has red hair too!

Eric is pretty memorable, red hair or not... nice perk, though. Fun to hear about your visit with your mom and Roger, and what a treasure that blanket is! Good times for you, little one... hope you're loving it all. Keep the pregnancy pics coming...
