Mike and I can officially be parents now!!! We graduated from our six-week prenatal class last night! The classes were very insightful and we learned a lot. We are very much looking forward to getting to the things we learned about now. We are only 4 weeks away from our due date!

My parents are visiting and we will also be going to our second baby shower this weekend. Unfortunately it sounds like the weather isn't going to be that great! However, we are looking forward to relaxing and spending time with family on this holiday weekend.

The baby and I (and Mike, of course) stayed up until 3:00am to see Star Wars: Episode III Wednesday night. This baby is definitely a boy...he must have been using the umbilical cord as a lightsaber during the movie because he was very active through the whole thing!! My little Obi-Wan Kenobi!!

Just wanted to quickly do an update with a link to the newest pictures of our adorable nephew, Alexander...check them out...he's growing so quickly!!

We had our first baby shower on Saturday this weekend! We had such a great time seeing our family and friends! The baby got some wonderful gifts, too! My mom has posted some pictures from the event on her yahoo site:

Grandma Murphy flew in from Florida just for the shower and so we were able to spend some time with her this weekend, too! For our anniversary, my parents took us to see a very funny play called, Polish Joke, which was about Polish-Americans. It was like watching my Dad's family on stage! Very funny!!

Thanks to everyone for such a great weekend!!

We had a "freebie ultrasound" because I participated in a medical study being done by a resident here at Mayo. Here are the pictures from the ultrasound:
