Today Brian and I ran in a race! It was just a 5K run but we had a great time doing it – it was fun just to be back in that atmosphere again. We didn’t win any great prizes – the overall winner had a time of 14:55! He was booking it! I’m afraid 4 month pregnant and a little out of shape pushed my mile time up to 9min a mile but it was fun just to run again. Oh, and the fun thing about this run is that a ticket to the fair is included in everyone’s runner packet so I’ll be enjoying an outing sometime in the near future!
–Brian’s note: at 4 months pregnant, Amy finished 7th in her age group with a time of 26:35. I came in 5th for my age group with a time of 22:37 (thanks to Amy for keeping me running a couple of times every week). We had a great time and ate lots of apples

Okay, I finally pulled the pictures off of Brian’s phone and put them on my computer and now have actually sat down to make up a post with them!
First off, Brian’s department is in the middle of moving from one building to another. But I did get to see his temporary office last week:
Wow, does that look techy or what?
Can you believe he works on all of these at the same time? One is his laptop, one is a computer he was rebuilding or something and I guess the other is his office computer. The little thing on his ear is the bluetooth headset for his cell phone – wireless and hands free, he loves it! Whenever his phones goes off he can just touch the ear-piece and start talking.
Here is the skyline of where he works – the main building in the middle is where the new office will be, the third building from the left is where he currently works.
Here is the new office building up close. He’ll be on the 14th floor. Williams Square is apparently famous for the horse statues in front which I’ll try and get a picture of later.
I’ve also been able to meet several of Brian’s co-workers. They’re really nice and we hope to have most of them over for dinner at some point. Brian is the young guy on the team but due to his past experience with the ALERT network is able to troubleshoot and help out with the best of them. He’s having a great time and I’m really excited about the things he’s able to work with and learn.

Tadpole:
Well, here’s the kiddo! Maybe you can make out a profile of a baby sucking it’s thumb.
A really kind lady that we met at a church we were trying out on Wed. knew a friend of ours and in the course of the conversation she offered to give me a sonogram for free! So Saturday we went to the Birth Center, had a little tour, met some of the midwives and best of all, got to see our baby!
It’s still a little early to determine sex plus the baby had it’s legs modestly crossed the whole time, but that’s okay, we sort of want it to be a surprise anyways. It was just fun to see our baby and be told that it was perfectly normal, and exactly as far along as we thought it was – 14 weeks and five days. This gives me a due date of March 18th.
It’s pretty amazing to think of the whole process, how I walk (or bike) around town and nobody would even guess that a miracle was taking place inside of me. To watch the baby jerk around and wave it’s arms and be so perfectly whole when it’s a mere 4 in. long is amazing! Most of man’s inventions when they first start out are big and clumsy – think of the first computer – and over time they are perfected down to smaller and more advanced machines. God however starts them out small and advanced yet leaving each model with room to be uniquely shaped and molded to where it becomes like none other here on earth!
