Sam!

We had a wonderful day watching our nephew Sam. He's such a good baby. Hardly made a peep except for his baby babbling. We can't believe he'll be 7 weeks old tomorrow, it doesn't seem that long ago we were visiting him in the hospital when he was just an hour old. He is so alert, attentive, and strong. He will be rolling over in no time. He can already go from his back to his side without any trouble. He loved playing with his future cousin's toys...especially the bouncy chair with mirror and the swing!

No real updates on Sara's pregnancy. We're 33 weeks now but at our Doctor's appt he reminded us that we should really be ready for between 4 and 8 weeks. We thought about going long, but never really thought about going early. This news made us realize we really should pack the hospital bag and install the car seat soon!!

Sara continues to enjoy pregnancy. It's easy to say when you have no real symptoms except the weight gain. However, she has experienced a few bouts of heartburn in the past week or so. At first she thought it was due to chocolate, but then realized that it was happening at the same time in the afternoon...so she bought her first ever bottle of Tums. Exciting stuff at the Hillins household!!

This weekend has been a weekend of staying in, which has been nice given the weather. Brrrr!!! It's definitely moved into Fall now...or possibly Winter. 45 degrees is a tad cold even for Sara who has a built in heater for the next few weeks. But, we are enjoying our basement. We are so glad that we finished it last summer. It has just about everything we need in it so once we're down there we barely come upstairs except for sleeping!

Tomorrow we'll head over to Jim and Annie's to have dinner with them as well as Annie's brother Paul, his wife Nicki, and their two little ones Brennan and Lola. So, at least we'll leave the house once this weekend (minus church), but it will be great to see everyone! And Monday.....are you ready for some football? Vikings versus Packers. Skol Vikes!
