Sorry it's been so long since we've posted! (Thanks for the reminder, Sarah :) First off, the 24 week belly shots (taken on 11/14):
Things have been pretty busy for us the past couple of months. In October, we went back to Indiana for a week to be home with my Grandma for her surgery and to attend Matthew's cousin Zack's wedding. Last week, we had a wonderful time hosting Jim, Patsy, Jason, Jill, and her boyfriend Joey for Thanksgiving. We had a fun-filled week - in addition to Thanksgiving dinner, we took a day trip to Port Townsend on the Olympic Peninsula where we had some very good ice cream, cheered Jason on in the Seattle Marathon, ate lunch at the Ballard Farmer's Market, and celebrated Jill's birthday with cupcakes and dinner at Ray's Boathouse.

Everything with the pregnancy has been going smoothly so far. Baby J is kicking up a storm (baby is actually kicking right now as I type this!), which is very cool. We had a doctor's appointment on Friday where they they did a blood draw to check for gestational diabetes and my iron levels. I was borderline anemic to start, and was feeling really tired throughout much of October and the first half of November. I've been taking iron supplements, and it feels like they're working, but we'll see what my blood has to say. Starting with this past appointment, I'll be going in to see the doctor every other week now (instead of once a month). Hello, third trimester!
The nursery is slowly coming along. In addition to the changing table, we purchased a dresser off of Craig's list, too. Matthew founds some no-VOC paint, and we had fun painting them (as seen in the picture below - I posted a larger one so you can see his Matt Boone impersonation). We have a rocker (thanks, Jim & Patsy!) and crib on order. Very exciting!

Tonight, our amazing Seattle friends threw a baby shower for us. I'm hoping to get some pictures from Addison (as I didn't take any!) to post soon.
