It has been an exciting 4 weeks! We had an appointment last week and everything looks great! Other than the fact that it took the nurse about 5 mins to find my baby's heart beat...and freaking out and going into perfuse sweats...everything is fine! He is kicking up a storm these days and I love every single minute of it. I cannot stop thinking about this little dude. We got all of his bedding in and it looks great...now we just need the crib to put it in! His little nursery right now looks like a big mess but hopefully we can get it painted in the next 3 weeks and get some things cleared out. Here is a 24 week belly shot. I had several people at church today tell me that I have officially "popped." In my opinion, and the opinion of my clothes...that happened oh so long ago! 
In other news...my good friend Valerie and I got to go see the amazing Celine Dion last week...and it was so great! We had great seats in a box of all places (courtesy of my husband's job) and she was so amazing! If you know me well, you know that if I could afford it..I would totally be a Celine groupy! I would follow her to every concert and sing my heart out. I will also tell you that Samuel loved her as well! He kicked all through out the concert. Thad says it is because he wanted to be at home watching the Fiesta Bowl...but I know the real reason! Like mother like son! Here we are right before heading out! We both were so excited we could hardly stand it!
Lastly, Thad and I are off on our Babymoon as of Tuesday morning...ah woo hoo!!!! We are going to Naples, Florida to get some good beach time in before we are homebound for a while. We thought of many places...but I decided I really wanted to stay in the US...and Florida and southern California are the only places in January that could possibly give you good weather. We were so excited for high 70's until the darn cold front that came through this week. I think we will be struggling to get 70's at all! But we don't care one bit...we have a room that walks on to the beach and some good baby books to read!!
Next week I should have some pics! Take care!

Yea Ashley! Congratulations on your pregnancy. You will love love love your sweet baby boy! And he will love love love YOU! As I'm trying to read your blog, I have 3 babies trying to climb up my leg so I didn't get to read it all...I can't wait to sit down and catch up on your life. Miss you!
Ashley, you look great!
Ron and I have been to Naples -- went there in 2006. Actually, we were staying on Marco Island. We had a convertible rental car and drove with the top down on a sunny October afternoon from Marco Island to Naples. Ate at a little restaurant on the wharf. It's so lovely there -- enjoy, and have a great "Babymoon." BTW, haven't heard that one before. There's so much to learn from blogging :~)
So excited for you guys! Hope you had a wonderful time in Florida!
