New Branch on the Family Tree

Yes!! We are expecting an addition to our little family - my due date is March 4, 2010. Which puts me at 11 weeks and almost through the first "tri-semester," as Chadwick calls it. We've known for a while but I haven't mustered the energy to sit at the computer and update our blog. This will be the first grandchild on my side of the family and number 12 on his side. One of my
sisters-in-law is due in January, so there will be two new little Hunt additions next year!

In other news, Chadwick enjoyed his time at the veterinary school at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and is learning the ropes of general medicine at his dad's practice. I have been "kicked" out of the large animal side of things and am now a small animal veterinarian for the remainder of my pregnancy....which will be great as the size of my abdomen continues to expand.

We drove to Idaho Falls at the end of July to attend the wedding of a close friend, Alexis, who of course was a beautiful bride. I also made the trip to Albuquerque for a 4-day visit with my family. My Nana celebrated her 75th birthday and I had to be home for that event! Nana, Mom, and I went to the opera Friday night for the world-premeire of "The Letter," which was quite the cultural experience.
And yes, there are 75 candles on that coffee cake!

I got together with three high school buddies while there - Betsy just had a baby girl in May, and Laurie and I are expecting in February and March! Needless to say, the topic at lunch was pregnancy and babies. =)
