9 days and counting!

This is Nates Dads house in Hotchkiss Colorado




Megan's Niece Mackenzie

Colorado was great, I am so glad I was able to go!! It was Stasia (nates sister), Megan (nates niece) and I on the voyage to the oh so beautiful Colorado. We had a bad start however, we missed our flight getting there because we were 10 minutes late in checking in our bags (FYI ...you have to have bags checked in 45min. prior to flight)....it was such a bummer! I got to spend some time with most of Nates' family ..... Mom (Betty) and her husband Steve, Nates Dad (Denys) and his girlfriend Mary Jean, Nates sisters Emily and Jessica and their two boys Hayden and Kieren.

The first day we went to Wal-Mart and walked around the "baby" section which is always fun.... Nate is from such a small town that when you do go to places like Wal-Mart you run into a ton of people and family that you know! Its so different than where I'm from. Megan's half sister came by to see us and showed off her 5 week old baby girl named Makenzie. I was so happy to hold the little doll....Now I really can't wait to have my own little one in my arms. The couple seemed like pros at being parents ALREADY! It was pretty reassuring to say the least. Mom aka Betty had me go through a TON of their family pictures and let me take home any of them I wanted. I brought home so many pictures of Nate and his family growing up, I am so excited to go through them with Nate tonight because he hasn't seen any of them. I now know what my boyfriend looked like growing up...and I must say, he was such a cutie!!!!! I loved going through them and seeing Nate as a kid ...and then imagining what our child will look like =-)
We then visited the dad aka Denys...its so funny because Nate and him are so much alike and have the same type of humor! We spent the day hanging out with everyone and played basketball and just sat around and talked. During the trip I saw 4 deer, one was a fawn....I swear it was Bambi! Overall it was a great trip and I was happy to be able to get closer to Nates family.
Most of them said I'm having a girl.....but Stasia is still set on that it will be a boy. I love getting everyones predictions!

***9 more days until we find out if bubby is a boy or girl!!*******
