Wow, time flies by.  We have just had another wonderful round of family come in to visit.  My sister came first and we had a super time hanging out with Siena, going on walks, giving her baths, playing and just getting Auntie Alicia time.  Then my Mom came in for some Gammie time.  We relaxed around the house, and spent some quality just catching up and having a splendid spa day with Angi.  Matt's parents and Grammy just left on Tuesday.  We had fun playing cards and going up to Cripple Creek and just having some more quality time with Great Grammy, Emme and Poppop.  It has been a wonderful last month with family.  Siena is getting so much more interactive now.  She has her 4 month appointment in a couple weeks and then we will get an update on her weight.  She is not a chubby baby, but just a long one.  She has the most amazing smile that just lights when you look at her.  She is really working hard on her tummy.  I don't think it will be too long until she rolls over.  The dogs love their new "sister." They give her kisses all the time, and any time we are on the floor -they all want to be involved. 

Here are a few more pictures of Siena and this last month and a half with family.

Everyday she keeps getting more beautiful.  Siena's first month and a half of life has been pretty busy and fun.  She got to meet all of her family.  First, my family came out when she was first born.  My Grandma couldn't come, but everyone else was able to spend Christmas here welcoming Siena to Colorado.  Then Matt's family came and they stayed with us in town for a week and then headed up to Breckenridge.  They have been up in Breck for the last month.  Family and friends have been coming in all month to stay up in Breck.  The first weekend was the biggest with all of Mary Ellen's brothers coming in and cousin's to visit.  Mike, Kaela and Antje came in also.  So both Antje got to meet her cousin.  For the last few days, we have enjoyed spending some more time with Matt's parents back down in Colorado Springs.  

I am feeling much better and getting adjusted to being at home with Siena.  We feel pretty blessed that she has been such a  wonderful baby.  She is feeding and sleeping pretty well.  She fusses at times, but we are able to manage.  We are going to try to be a bit better now with posting.  The last couple months have been a needed hiatus from most things while we were figuring things out with our new addition. :) 

Wow, this basketball that I swallowed is getting pretty big.  This was taken this past Tuesday at 36 and 1/2 weeks.  It's amazing to think that we are now full term and this little one could show up at anytime.  Are we ready?  Hmm, we'll see. :) 

Here is our wonderful Halloween outfit.  We thought they were pretty creative to make 20 minutes from when we got home from work.  The pumpkin looks a bit better as a side shot. :)

This is the only below the waist shot we have since we wanted to be careful and not see what kind of muffin is in the oven!!!

Wow, it has been a really long time since we last got on this to update.  Lots has been going on.  In the last few months, we have moved, traveled to the east and west coast, worked on getting the baby room set up, started baby classes, more than half way through teaching this semester, and just growing each week with the little one inside.  In the midst of all the craziness, we have found some time to hang out with friends and just relax with each other before the little one arrives.  We are still sticking to our guns with not finding out what Lil' Cramer is going to be, and we are super excited to meet him/her.  Our trips to the coasts were both a wonderful time.  We really wanted to have a chance to see family before we became a little less mobile for awhile.  It was awesome to get to see family and friends back in Washington, especially because it had been such a long time.  I really enjoyed seeing familiar faces and finding out about all of the new arrivals coming out there also.

Matt and I both went out to the east coast.  He had a work trip and then I followed along.  It was a quick trip filled with visiting with lots of people and having a baby shower out there also.  It was a wonderful time and it was pretty awesome to have a chance to catch up with family and friends out there also.  Matt then stayed on after I left for a trip to the white house with the past Beijing Olympians.  This was a pretty cool experience for him.

I am now into my nesting stage, and feeling like we need to get things ready to go.  We have 6 1/2 weeks left until our due date, but who knows it might want to come earlier. :)  We can't wait either way.  There is lots still to do in preparation, so we are chugging along with that.  The pictures that we are posting are from the 3D/4D ultrasound that we got in week 31.  It is pretty amazing to get a glimpse of what our little blessing will look like.  He/she has got some chubby cheeks!
