The nursery for our baby boy is underway! Last week my mom helped me paint the room (a nice sage green) and we picked out the fabrics for the crib. My mom, who has excellent sewing skills, will be making the skirt and the bumper for the crib, as well as pillows for the room. The fabrics (a green, yellow, and red plaid, as well as a red gingham and a yellow gingham) will be perfect! The crib and dresser are on their way, and I am working on painting a bookshelf black to match. I can't wait to see the finished product! Pictures will be posted once everything has come together.
On a separate note, I can't believe that we are now more than halfway there. The other day I was talking to Michael and suddenly realized I would be going back to work here in about a month. Once I'm back at work, things will get busy and before I know it, our little one will be here. I can't wait to meet him!

Take Me Out to the Ball Game!!
On Sat., Michael and I went to the Rockies games with my parents! Their Fourth of July celebration was held a day early since 
the Rockies were not playing a night game on the 4th. We had a great time, despite the very hot weather, my incredibly swollen feet, and the Rockies losing. Happy 4th of July!!
Baby's first baseball game and fireworks display! I think he enjoyed the fireworks, as he did a little moving around then!
A beautiful shot of Coors Field!

This Week in Weird...
These speed limit signs are posted all over the complex where my doctor's office is. How does one drive at 17 1/2 miles an hour? What happens if you go 17 mph? How about 18?

Boy, Oh Boy!!
It's official! Baby Pretekin is a boy! We had our appointment on Tuesday and found out that not only is Baby Pretekin a boy, but he is healthy and growing right on schedule. We couldn't be more excited!
I went to a little breakfast gathering at my mother-in-law's house, where she and some of our friends guessed the sex of the baby. Not everyone made it to the gathering, but we had a lot of guesses. There were 7 votes for a girl and 6 votes for a boy.
There was a boy duck and a girl duck...
The boy duck!!

Summertime Fun!
Here's a Pretekin Update:
Jenny: I am finished with school for the summer!! I am excited to continue to work on organizing our office and to paint the baby's room. I am also thrilled that in about 2 weeks my mom and dad will permanently be moved back here from their time living overseas. Basically, I am planning on having a relaxing summer spending time with friends and family before going back to work and before the little one arrives late next fall.
Michael: M is continuing to work hard this summer. He seems to be enjoying his job and finding a lot of success there. He is also hard at work in pursuing his electrical engineering degree. In online degrees you don't get to take the summer off, but luckily we will be taking a short trip to California to celebrate his cousins graduation, which should be a wonderful time. Otherwise, he will be hard at work and will continue to be a supportive and caring husband to his pregnant wife.
Baby P: Our last appointment went well, and Baby P continues to grow. The heart rate was again 160, which still puts the baby in the "girl" range. (Quicker hear rates - anything over 140 beats per minute - tend to be indicative of a girl. I am told that the quick heart rate is a 75% predictor that the baby will be a girl) Our next appointment is June 15th and this is the big one! Hopefully Baby P will cooperate and we will be able to see if we are having a boy or a girl. After feeling the belly and sensing the "baby energy," our friends and family are split on their guess of our child's gender. Place your bets! I am also looking forward to being able to feel Baby P move here very shortly!
Cheers to Summer!
