Baby Courter Travels

We went on a 'baby-moon' vacation for 10 days to the East Coast. It was a fabulous trip! Super hard to go home!!
We stayed mostly with My sister-in-law Whitney and her husband Jason and two children Caleb & Isabella.

The first weekend we drove up to New York! Baby C got to see the Big Apple! We all loved it; lively city with lots of history and amazing food! Baby got to see lots! Time Square, Broadway show of Les Miserable (or the miserables as Justin likes to call it) and even the locals break dancin' in the subway!




The sights from the Empire State Building where pretty crazy. It's hard to believe that there used to be 2 very large buildings right in the middle of all this.


Baby C got to do some shopping in China Town where we definately picked up a Coach purse knock off!! yeah! It was so busy in the streets. So many people around shopping and seeing the sights like us!


In PA we visited Gettysburgh for a day. The history is so amazing! The land and monuments are spectacular!


And here's Justin partaking in the action.


More amazing monuments that baby C got to see!!



Justin really wanted to mount this cannon...instead he decided to just pretend he was igniting it.


Well, what's a trip to PA if you don't go to HERSHEY!! Justin here is excited for the chocolate :)



We also visited DC for a day...and let me tell you, DC in a day is for the not so faint of heart!
Here's us at the Capitol.


We basically walked the mall and saw as much as we could of the Smithsonian. Here are some awesome sites baby C got to see :)









We really had a great time.

And here is little miss Bella at breakfast :)


And at Hershey!



Here is Caleb at breakfst too. Those guys!


Here is Justin, Whitney, Caleb and Bellla enjoying some b-fast!! And Whit was the only normal looking one :)



Well! Here's a belly shot.


I'm 23 weeks now and little baby C is growing so fast :) It's really awesome to feel him kicking and going nutz in there. On the plane ride home I put my big headphones on my belly, put some blue grass on and it was the first time that I got a reaction from him!! He was kicking like crazy...breakin' it down to bluegrass!! He's like his papa already!!


And what would a belly shot be without Justin's????


He is officially a heavy weight! Good work love!!

We're back home, getting back into the real world again of work and home life. We missed our friends!! We hope to hang out soon!

It's a.....BOY!!!

Hey all! Sorry it's been a while since I posted. We haven't had much luck with internet access and well, my work doesn't quite allow that :)

We had my first ultrasound done to see how this little one was cookin', and all is well!! It appears that I am on schedule, as origianlly calculated, and baby is going to be due around October 23rd! Currently, I am 22 weeks!

Here is a profile shot of the little one :)


We had a fabulous time at our Gender Revealing party!! Thanks to Jenny & Katie did such an awesome job throwing the party! The food was awesome, the company was great!! Justin & I are were very touched by all of you who came to celebrate this time with us :)

Here's the awesome food table that Jennie & Katie brought with them!!


Well, as you can tell by the title, we are having a boy!! We're both very excited. Here is a real great picture of Justin & I when we found out!


Jennie & Katie oh so cleverly wrapped a baby doll up in a onesie & diaper. Justin & I where kinda expecting an outfit, but none the less! This was another way to find out. We couldn't tell, as Jennie explained that we had to 'go explore' (meaning open the onesie and find out) if this was going to be a gender correct doll or what! But later found a piece of paper in the diaper that said it's a boy :) Super funny you guys!!

We both have had an opportunity to feel the little guy move, so that has been really amazing!!

Justin & I have been traveling and I'll post some pics and news about where baby boy Courter has been lately!! love you!!
