We shall call him....


As for Mark, we'll call him old. We just got a Wii Fit (Allyson's birthday celebration continued this past weekend!) Mark tested it out with a Body Test. It took him through a bunch of crazy analysis. It then proceeds to put a spotlight on your Mii (console profile of myself) and begins a drumroll. 'Your WiiFit Age is...38.' 38?!?!? Really? I've got more work to do than I thought before the baby arrives.

We went to the doctor this past Wednesday. Everything sounded (heartbeat) and looked good! The doctor encouraged us to be extra careful with the flu bugs going around. Allyson will be getting a shot soon. Mark has been working on the baby's room...it's coming along and we can't wait to show you before and after photos. All we have left to do is finish up the last coat of paint and lay the flooring. The baby showers begin in early October, so we will be heading to Bloomington tomorrow night to finally register.

Now that Allyson officially goes by 'Master', she is finding her afternoons and evenings to be much more enjoyable. She is already almost done reading a book and enjoyed some QT with her mom over the weekend. Here is an updated photo of her...no doubt the baby is growing!!



Sorry we have not been so frequent with the blog posts. It's been a little crazy. We go back to the doctor in a month and then begin visits every 2 weeks. We know it won't slow down (possibly ever), but so glad to be able to share with you when we can.

Love and miss you all!
Mark and Allyson

By the way...in case you can't read Hebrew...our boy's name will be Asher Mark Thompson. The name Asher means 'blessed' in Hebrew. We know how blessed we are and always want him to know the same. Mark is self-explanatory. Thompson was a given.
