7 Months and Counting!

I am now into my 28th week of pregnancy. I am to the point where people ask me when I am due all the time and I have even had a few strangers touch my belly or give me their opinions on how I am carrying and generally telling me how huge I am for 7 months. It has been interesting :) All that aside, I have been feeling really good and everything with the pregnancy is going just great. At my last OB visit the baby measured one week ahead fundally (as he has since about 16 weeks) and my health is great.

I was able to get another unofficial sonogram at work which is always a lot of fun, but it is getting harder every time to get good pictures because he is so big and cramped in there. I love watching him move around and do baby things like suck on his fingers. I feel so much movement - I enjoy seeing what he is actually doing while all the movement is happening.

We also decided on his name recently so here it is: Levi Reese Boyer. We like the first name because it is from the bible (the first priests were of the tribe of Levi), simple and not the most common. His middle name is significant because he will be the 5th Boyer man to have Reese as a middle name (Philip, his Dad, Grandfather and Great grandfather already share the name) - and I love family names. The Boyer men named Reese have all been wonderful God fearing men as far as I know, so I love carrying on this tradition. We are so excited to meet him and now that things are getting more organized I am really getting ready for him to be here! Philip has been working on the nursery a lot this weekend and we hope for it to be mostly finished by the end of the week. I will post pictures when it is complete.

The next time we post will be when we return from our last big "no kids" hoorah -- a trip with friends to Paris, France and Heidelberg, Germany. We can't believe we are really going! Please keep us in your prayers for safe and comfortable travel. We leave the 8th and return the 19th. Here are some more fun pictures I would like to share from some of the recent fun we have been able to have.
