We have had a very busy week this week! Since Jeremy has gotten back from Seoul. he has been complaining of a leg cramp. So finally on Tuesday he went in to find out that he has a blood clot in his leg. After spending a night in the hospital things should be pretty well under control now and he will be on blood thinners for the next three months. It's never a dull moment! We have also decided that we have had enough of hospitals and doctors visits to last us until baby D arrives! :)

We got back last night from our "Babymoon" to Denver. We had a great time! To see the adventures of J, K and "bay-bay" click on the shutterfly link to the left.
We started our adventure by flying into Denver on Wednesday night. We decided to stay just north of the city in Westminister on Wednesday night. We were exhausted once we made it to the hotel!
Now what husband with a 30 week pregnany wife wouldnt take her on a Beer Tour??? That is right Jeremy treated me to a tour of the Coors distlery in Golden CO. I will give a little credit and even though I could not partake in the beer drinking, I settled for Root Beer, it was neat to see. The tour is free and you get a half beer sample part way through and THREE large beers at the end! We couldnt believe it! Jeremy skipped his last sample as I drew the line at driving into the mountains and also it was 10am. :)
After the beer tour we were headed into Aspen. We took the scenic route and drove through Leadville. It was a cute little town located up in the mountains. The views were great. It was time for lunch and there were not many options so we settled for the Leadville Legendary Saloon. It was quite the experience. Take a look at the pictures the decorations inside were very unique.
Independence Pass as our next stop. The drive was beautiful into Aspen. I did ok with the altitude. Once in Apsen we stayed at the Molly Gibson. It was a beautiful hotel at the base of the mountain. While we were there they filmed scenes for the Soap Opera Bold and the Beautiful on the side walk beside where we ate lunch outdoors.
We took a hike into Maroon Bells. The park was beutiful. The pictures of the mountain reflecting into the lake were unbelievable! I wasnt to keen of the sign stating that there was a bear "incident" not even a month ago but Jeremy insisted it wasnt a big deal.....to me an "incident" sounds worse that a bear "sighting" or "encounter". "Incident" to me means a bear attacked a person! Although it may just have been my imagination getting away from me we never did find out what kind of an "incident" occured.
The Grottos were the next stop for the day. This is where the ice caves were and some small waterfalls. Jeremy did the most exploring in the Grottos as I was a little tired from the hike and Maroon Bells. The ghost town was the last hike for the day. I wasnt very happy with myself that I hiked the way down the ghost town and then look up and thought to my self well that was a steep hike down and I am now very tired and out of breath! I turned right around and started making my way SLOWLY to the car as Jeremy explored. It was a long day of hiking and we had a nice dinner out in Aspen that night.
While in Maroon Lake the previous day we came across a guy that suggersted hiking at Hanging Lake. Although he kept referring to the hike and not knowing if a person in "my condition" could hike Hanging Lake I decided to google Hanging Lake when we got back the hotel and decided that whatever "condition" I was in....he made it sound like I was dying or something, I mean come on I am pregnant not suffering from the plague!......I needed to see Hanging Lake, it looked beautiful!
We decided to take the long way to our next stop in Vail so we could see Hanging Lake. The reviews said that to plan 2-3 hours and many previous hikers had taken their kids so I decided that if we took it slow I could do it. It was quite the hike, 1.2 miles and we climbed 1,000 feet up. It was mostly rocks, rock stairs, switch backs and some dirt hills. I was not the only one that needed frequent breaks, there were many others, the only ones not needing the breaks were the young kids who seemed to run the whole way. The last portion of the climb is a very steep rock cliff that you NEED to hang on to the railings. Once up there it was beautiful! The lake and the waterfalls were very neat. The trek down was much easier! Although by the time we got down my legs were shaking. We wer very glad we did it and completed the trip in 3.5 hours.
We made it to Vail by late afternoon. We met Ryan, Jeremy's cousin and his girlfriend Rochelle out for dinner that night. They took us to an italian place were we had a great dinner and dessert. We spent a few hours out to dinner with them and were very tired by the time we were finished.
We met Janelle, a childhood friend of mine the next morning for coffee. It was great to catch up with her before she needed to work for the day. Jeremy and I decided that we would drive up to Rocky Mountain National Park and Estes Park as we were both hiked out. We saw five Elk and Marmots. Not great wildlife but for the middle of the day we didnt expect to see much. There is one picture where you can see three of the Elk.
The trip was coming to an end. We headed back to Denver. We stayed in a great hotel downtown Denver. I was missing my King Bed at home so asked for one at the hotel. The guy checking us in decided that I deserved a complimentary king suite. I didnt argue! The hotel also puts goldfish in your room at your request. :) We headed to the 16th street Mall for dinner. Denver was quite a bit warmer than the mountains.
The last day we werent flying out until late that night so we explored Denver. I found some boutiques to look at and Jeremy enjoyed REI. We planned to go to the art museum but once there found out that the museum is closed on Mondays. So we walked around and headed to the airport.
We had a great trip! As Jeremy put it we were both in NEED of a vacation. And although the baby still has 10 weeks to go until 40 as Jeremy put it we are now ready for baby! :)
ENJOY!
PS-Finley got a vacation to G and G Edbergs while we were gone and it looks to us like he was a spoiled dog while away. He has been sleeping on his pillow since we got home. He obviously loved the walks and fetch it sessions with G and G Edberg.

We are so blessed to be expecting a baby November 20th. Talk about being excited, we can hardly contain it. Friday July 1st the grandparents are being delivered cupcakes that will either hold pink or blue frosting in the center. Once the cupcakes are eaten we will update the blog with boy or girl! :)
This week is my 20th week of pregnancy and it is the first week that I can say that I feel the baby moving around on a daily basis even more than once a day. It is an amazing feeling! The baby gets the movements going about the same time I sit down at my desk in the morning at work and the movement is again at times during the day but picks up again around 8pm.
Jeremy says we are officially ready to start the nursery and I could not be more excited. :)
Baby Dorick- Squirming away...we are SO in love!!
