It has been WAY TOO long!!!

I will start off by apologizing for taking so long to post! I started school the end of August and have been very busy with that. I am taking two classes this semester...hoping baby holds out until after finals! I have arranged to take both of my finals early. I just pray I make it to the 12th of December before Baby Mize decides to make his/her appearance!

Lots of things have happened since my last post. Going back to school meant the beginning of the TCU football season. Our best friends graduated from TCU and are very big into tailgating. Jay is a master griller and always provides excellent food for us to feast on! So far this season we are 4-0 so things are starting out very well. Our next game will be a bit difficult...we play OU, but hopefully the Frogs can pull out another victory!


Matt and I also took an extended weekend trip to Cancun, Mexico with our best friends Jay and RuthAnn (Rudy). It was a wonderfully relaxing weekend full of sun! Matt, Jay and Rudy rented wave runners for about 30 minutes and cruised around on the ocean for a while. Positive my doctor would not be too happy with me if I participated in water sports...I stayed on the beach and read a book. Make no mistake...I was perfectly content under my umbrella with my book! I was looking forward to relaxing and that is exactly what we did all weekend! It was a nice little break before Baby Mize arrives. It will likely be a while before Matt and I head off on another tropical vacation. Unfortunately, I am now peeling and believe I have a bit of sun poisoning...my fair skin apparently had enough sun!

Now...for an update on the pregnancy...
I am now in my 28th week of pregnancy and things are still going really well. Baby Mize is growing as he or she should and Matt and I...or Matt I should say is making tons of preparations around the house. The baby's room was a lovely shade of grass green and it is taking quite a bit of work to cover it up! Other than that, things have been pretty uneventful pregnancy wise. According to my doctor, that is a good thing! Here is a picture of me at 28 weeks. My belly button is already starting to pop...with 12 weeks left, I am a little nervous what is going to happen to it!
