Baby Bump

So my bump has been growing rapidly and baby Corinne now weights 10.5 ounces! Shes getting big and so am I! Here are some growing bump pictures from the last few weeks:

I made it to the halfway point in my pregnancy and I know from here on out I will be growing rapidly! I'll post more pictures throughout the next 20 weeks!

I can't get this video out of my mind lately. It is SO powerful, it drove me to tears, but it is well worth watching:

Vacation...

Three weeks from Sunday, Gordon and I will be embarking on a 7 night cruise to the Mexican Riviera! I am getting so excited! I love vacation so much and since we couldn't afford much of a honeymoon, this will be our first "big" vacation since we have been married. It is also going to be a great time for us to get away alone together before the baby is born (I heard it called a "babymoon," but I don't know how I feel about this term). I know its going to be a nice time for the two of us to relax, not think about work (YAY!), and enjoy each other. I was looking for pictures of where we will be going, and I got even more excited! I thought I'd share:

Cabo San Lucas....


Puerto Vallarta....
Mazatlan....

AHHHHH..... I can practically see myself sitting on the beach with a *virgin* Pina Colada!



Then as soon as we get back, we are switching up the climate and heading up to my parents cabin at Hume Lake for an extra long weekend! I love being at Hume. It definitely is at the top of my list of favorite places to be. It just holds such a special place in my heart. It's where I grew up going with my family, where I decided to give my life to Christ, where I spent my fondest summer camp memories, and where I met the man I married. It's always so romantic for Gordon and I to return to where we met! Every time I go, I'm always flooded with great memories! Now, my favorite time of year at Hume is in the summer... and seriously, who could not want to go here in the summer??

But since I have a few months to go before I can enjoy my favorite summer view, I guess I'll have to settle for this instead:


Oh Vacation... You cannot come fast enough!!!
