And our wolf pack... it's growing by one

...One BOY that is! Yes! We finally found out the little peanut is a boy... which unfortunately makes the naming process more difficult. We've narrowed it down to the following:
1. Lucas Parker
2. Micah Parker
3. Jackson Parker
(and apparantly "Obi Wan") *Note: This one is still up for discussion.
We'll figure it out soon enough, relax.

So I must state the obvious: We're TERRIBLE at updating this blog! I apologize, my procrastination knows no end. As it is, we've got a lot of stuff to tell you about, but that would mean one LONG, LONG blog. Here's a quick summary:

1.Baby Shower 1 - Our friends here in Dayton threw it. It was AMAZING! Thanks to everyone involved and came. I was so excited and touched that you guys took the time to celebrate with us! Thanks especially to Tiffany, Megan, and Sam for planning this shindig. We even had an adorable cake made by Mitch's mother and grandmother in the shape of a pregnant lady's belly =)

2.Baby Shower 2 - Tussing Family - Another HUGE success! Janet, Brad, and Bri - you guys helped us so much. It was nice to be with family and celebrate "Prince Branden Jr.", I can't explain how grateful we are for all of your help. Highlights: ridiculous and hilarious baby shower games, wonderful gifts, wonderful family =)

3.Ultrasound!! Finally, we got to see HIM again! Life is a lot easier knowing we're dealing with a little boy rather than what I assumed was a little ewok.

4.Baby Shower 3 - Dunham Family - Again, I can't even tell you how grateful I am to have such an amazing family. You guys really worked hard and it was awesome to get to see so much of my family. We had a great turnout, and I think we're officially prepared for this baby now! Unfortunately, we forgot to take any pictures, but I can assure you: it was so nice!

5.New Apartment - Branden and I are loving our new apartment. We're slowly preparing for the baby by putting together his nursery. Here are some cool amenities... (By the way, feel free to come and visit! We're super proud of our new home.)

*there are a LOT more pictures on my Facebook:


6.Summer!
Finally, I have to mention that its summer, so I'm extremely happy. I'm taking a few online classes, and Branden is taking classes and working, but we've still found a lot of time to have fun. We just went to Zoombezi Bay with my nephew, Gavin, and Branden's sister, Brianna, and her boyfriend, Troy. Aside from all of the waddling I did, it was really nice to spend the day in the sun and in the pool. I wish we could do that more often! We're busy with doctor's appointments too, but sometimes being able to spend time both in Fairborn and Columbus is nice. We go through a lot of gas, but hey, at least we get to go to Zen Cha and Katzinger's every now and then. =)

I'm sure I've forgotten to mention a lot of things, but I'll leave you with this update for now. Hey, at least it's something! For those of you who are counting, we're at week 34 (and 5 days)... it's only a matter of time, right? I don't think I can handle much longer!
