So I'd like to post a picture, but....
...our charger is MIA and our camera has just enough battery for me to see what great pics are on there, but not enough battery to dump them on the computer. We are going camping this weekend so hopefully the charger will magically reappear.
Abigail is tossing, turning, and thumping, especially at bedtime. It's amazing how quickly the time goes from "I don't look or feel pregnant" to "This is getting uncomfortable". I just keep remembering how much easier it is to take care of a baby inside of me (as opposed to outside of me), and enjoying the relative peace and control!

Womb with a view


























Hurrah for modern technology! The top ultrasound shows her foot (ignore the arrow, it's not meant to point out anything). The second ultrasound shows her big round belly and up on the top left, her head which is looking down slightly. We're so excited to meet her in December!

Tickled Pink!

So, we had our ultrasound today and got a peek at Blehm Baby #2....who had no boy parts to be seen! The doctor appeared mildly confident that it's a girl ("But if I'm wrong, you'll still have to take it home"). We are very excited to have one of each! Nathaniel is an absolute cutie and will be a great big brother. My heart melted when we were brainstorming names out loud and he repeated, "Sister, Abigail".

More pics from Crested Butte











Guess who loves camping?











Great pancakes, Daddy!











Ben got in a few sweet mountain singletrack rides....












and some excellent hammock chill time.











Not quite a fourteener, but a good hike and great view nonetheless. And Jess was more than happy to turn around at 12,500'.
There's a baby in my tummy!



I suppose it's time to go public--we are expecting another bundle of joy around December 18. Praise God! I had completely forgotten how bad the first trimester is...I was so excited with Nathaniel that the exhaustion and constant nausea faded to nothing in my memory. This pregnancy was quite a memory refresher. =) Thankfully it's fading again, as I'm halfway through and feeling great now. This pic is from our long weekend in Crested Butte, CO.
