And we are having...

a BOY! Majority of the people around have said they thought it was a boy... all the "signs" I guess pointed that way, carrying low, stomach wide, changes in my complexion... I heard a lot of guesses over the past few weeks and it turns out they were right. The ultrasound went really well and everything looks good, our little boy is measuring right on schedule and is an average size. 
To celebrate Bobby and I bought our first little boy outfit, though it wasn't as exciting as the a girl outfits (no frills or ruffles) it still is pretty cute.

In other news, Bobby and I spent last week in San Francisco for our babymoon.  It was great, Bobby's mom met us out there and his sister flew up from LA. Bobby presented a paper at ETS asking if you can have authentic community in online church, he has already had someone write a response so I guess it was thought provoking. I sat through some pretty academic presentations that were a little out of my league. What I did excel at in San Fran was eating! Our first night we had some great thai food, for lunch the second day we tracked down the local food trucks and sampled some of their delicious offerings. Wednesday night Bobby ate with other SEBTS people so Teri and I ate at a high ranking diner. In the morning Teri, Melissa and I ate at Honey Honey, it was really good. We rented a car that afternoon and drove across the Golden Gate Bridge up to Muir Woods to see the big redwoods, which were amazing! Since it was my 23wk mark Teri took a quick photo for me:
  Then we headed back across the bridge and drove down the Pacific Coast Highway to a great seafood place called Barbara's Fish Trap.  They had great clam chowder, huge fried shrimp and a wonderful small town feel. Friday morning we ate at Dottie's True Blue Cafe, which was featured on Diner, Drive-Ins and Dives.  The hour long wait was worth it! After that we hopped on the legendary trolly and went exploring at Fisherman's Wharf, I was really excited to see the sea lions.  We also went to Ghirardelli Square and had fresh peppermint bark. That night we found a hole in the wall Thai place (I think we were the Caucasians in the place), we ate early since we skipped lunch so around 10 Bobby ran out for pizza for us.  Oh and of course we found a local cupcake store that we frequented two nights in a row. All in all we loved San Fran and were glad for the week away.
So there you have it, I think I am going to be a better blogger for now on... Bobby got a new iPhone 4s so I will actually have photos of our fun times.  Hope you have a great thanksgiving, we are going to celebrate all of the Lord's blessings with our friends tomorrow!
