We went ahead and started on the baby's crib. We couldn't wait for this gift of God to come! 

So as my pregnancy continues, this baby is popping out. Everyone I come in contact with kept telling me I look like I'm about to deliver! Do I actually look at big? Here I am at 29 weeks. 

A preview of what Dan and I's kids might look like... 

Burk Kids. 

Zachary was great help at putting the gifts away. He was probably the only guy there too. 

My girl friends from UIUC, Judy and Carla. 

Here is my sister and my sister-in-laws at the shower. 

I went home to Chicago for a baby shower thrown by my mother-in-law and sister-in-laws. Here is the top tier of the three tier cake. Yeah, Mo went a little crazy.:) 

My parents visiting the weekend after Dave and Keri. We found some chinese herbal roots for my post-pregnancy recovery. 

Here is one of the Orcas one our boat ride at San Juan. 

Dave and Keri came and visited us...It was nice to have family visiting:) 

Dan and I returning to San Juan Island with Dave and Keri. It was where we got engaged. 

Here is Dan lounging on his Birthday on our balcony before work. He is on-call tonight:(. 

Here I am at 24 weeks, I don't know if you can tell that I got bigger. I sure feel bigger! I feel like i'm stuck on two outfits all the time! But the baby is kicking and Dan can finally feel it now! 

and the birthday boy and girl...

Aunt Patty relaxing.. 

Birthday celebration for Aunt Patty and Dan. We had the Solversons over for an Asian feast of duck, california rolls (thanks for Isaac's help), miso soup, tempura, and yummy chinese cake. Here is the Solverson family except Becca (she coming home in two days from France). 

And here is me at home at 21 weeks and counting! The baby is kicking more and more. No specific pattern yet, but we are getting more and more excited!
