And he's off...

Well last Sunday we were able to be around a lot of Kurt's family as Tyson had his mission farwell. It didn't really seem real until Tuesday night when we had to say goodbye. Kurt was able to go with his family to the MTC and I had to stay home. It was hard to say goodbye and also to realize that our baby girl won't see her uncle Tyson until she is almost 2 years old. Kinda crazy to think about. We were able to take some family pictures. So we will post some of them.
On Friday we had a doctors appointment. It was short and sweet, but we got to hear her heart beat again which was good, my blood pressure is good and everything is going good. We are greatful that she is growing and is healthy.

Kurt has started school and is liking it so far. He is glad that he changed his major to Geology, and I am too because he enjoys school a lot more. Other than that I am just doing my internship and getting ready for our baby girl. We only have about 2 more months till she comes and we are nowing seeing the doctor every two weeks instead of every month. Crazy!
