It had been a long 5 weeks since Jeff left to do his intership with a Doctor in Maryland. My wonderful in-laws took me in while he was gone. I planned to stay there until March 9th when Jeff returns to graduate. I couldn't do it, plain and simple. I was absolutely miserable being pregnant, working a strenuous job and being without my best friend and husband. It wasn't worth it, so I packed up, sent the moving truck on its way with the moving company and hopped on a plane. I am now sitting in our new, to us, place in Frederick, Maryland and I am LOVING it!! I now feel like I can start our new life out here. I can get moved in and get ready to have a baby. It feels so right to be here. This is where we are suppose to be. Sad that it is so far from family, but we are so happy besides that.
I am now 30 weeks pregnant and definitely feeling the pains of the third trimester. I actually started feeling those pains a month ago. This makes unpacking a very slow process but that is okay. I am so excited to start planning more and more for this baby. I can now start decorating the nursery and getting things ready. Baby boy is a rambunctious one. He loves to kick me in the liver, the ribs and is practicing his Jiu-jitsu moves all the time. It is so amazing to feel him inside me. What a miracle!
Rhona and Rocko love the new place. They went from a one bedroom apt. to a 3 bedroom townhome. they love having so much room, oh and a fenced backyard too. This makes my life easier too. Rhona is looking very small these days. Rocko is 8 months old and is looking more like a horse. (see picture below)
Jeff's intership is going very well. He is learning so much and the Doctor is very impressed with Jeff. They get along great and things are looking very promising for a future together. I am so proud of Jeff. He has worked so hard and has definitely earned his way to graduation. Although I just got here two weeks ago, I am going to visit family in Utah in one week for a week and a half and then I fly to California for Jeff's graduation and then I fly right back here. It is going to be a busy month, but I am so excited for all that is coming! I will only get to experience these things once and so I am trying to enjoy every moment.

| This picture really doesn't do his size justice. You really just have to see him in person to know how big he really is. |

| Rocko loves Rhona so much and it drives Rhona nuts sometimes because Rocko hardly leaves her side. |
 |
| "I'm almost as tall as daddy!!" |
 |
| We thought Rhona was big, until Rocko passed her up long ago. |

| I don't know what I would do with our my hunky husband! |

| I really need to take some better pictures while I am still pregnant. This will have to do for today though. This picture was taken at 31 weeks. |

| My first SUCCESSFUL attempt at sugar cookies thanks to a wonderful friend from my ward back in California. They were delicious and I felt like such a good wife bringing them to Jeff's co-workers. | | | |
