Hello everyone... some of you are not on my normal pre-natal appointment
list but I decided to get 2 pieces of information out in one email!!
Prenatal and address change.

Nothing too much to tell for the 5th appointment except we got some great
pictures of the baby yawning and a picture to confirm from the doctor that
YES! it is indeed a baby boy.  So we will thinking of names for the next few
months.  We currently don't have any names picked out but are leaning
towards Jacob and calling him Jake for short -- but we aren't for sure on
that.  Everything checked out normal and healthy -- and speaking of healthy
-  I am now at 140 pounds!  WOOW~ lots of weight gain although the doctor
said it was normal and there was nothing to worry about but I'm thinking I
need to start exercising!!  But on the up side I feel great.

Our weekend was great! We had  our first hospital tour and learned lots of
stuff and it was very much a reality check that WOW - yeah, we're having a
baby.  So, we have our second tour next week and then we'll know where we
will hope to delivery this little guy.  Our 8 year old boys team came back
from being down 4-0 and had a great game -- and we went bowling with our
team after wards and then off to visit with an out of town friend of Aaron's
for dinner. Sunday we signed our lease for our new place and it was very
exciting.

Some other absolutely awesome news is that we have found a full-time sitter
and it couldn't ask for anything better!  Our very good friends Thunder and
Tahnee have 3 boys and we love their parenting and just think the world of
them and their family.... well Tahnee has offered to become our full time
day care provider when I go back to work after my maternity leave.  So there
we have it.. someone we respect, trust and love instead of a stranger -
background checks and someone with 5 plus other babies to look after.  We
couldn't be luckier!!  AND they live 3 miles from our new home.

Speaking of our new home, please update your address book....with the baby
coming and all.... we are officially moving to the suburbs!  It's a great
three level - finished basement 3 bedroom/4 bath town house in -- AURORA...
so that will be quite a drive for me but we really couldn't pass up this
deal!  It's beautiful - skylight in the living room with a fireplace, lots
of windows, office area upstairs overlooking the living room, very spacious
kitchen with new appliances including a DISHWASHER (which we don't have
now), a work area with table and shelves in the basement for Aaron's
projects, 2 car garage with garage openers, finished guest room in the
basement with a closet and shower, nice fenced lil patio in the back,  a
room for the nursery with a walk in closet and a huge master bedroom - and
it's in a great neighborhood.  The couple we rented from our soccer fanatics
and already have mentioned our names with in the soccer community there and
are trying to line us up with coaching opportunities.  So we are very
excited, we move in on October 15th.  The new address is 15381 E. Louisiana
Avenue, Aurora, CO 80013.

I hope this email finds you all happy, healthy and well. Talk to you soon
and for all you in California - I will see you at my baby shower if you can
make it -- DON'T FORGET TO RSVP to my mom, Eva, at 562/866-6833 if you can
or can not make it.

Thanks!!!
