Holy Scheize - we have officially hit the nine month mark! And though our due date is September 2, the doctor is having us come in on August 29 to induce labor (if I haven't gone into labor already). She feels that the safest thing for us is to not let Adelyn go past my due date, and when I just went to the doctor on Friday, she said that I'm already dilated enough to be a good candidate to be induced! (ok, so not so interesting info for most of you, but a few people like the details...) ANYWAYS, my main point is that we're so excited and almost can't believe that in 4 weeks or less we're going to be parents. I, like my cuz Michelle (who is due August 28) am also "nesting" like crazy - in the past week I have organized, cleaned, and recleaned our apt. top to bottom.
Our other big news? We are moving to Chicago in November! Danny has landed a job as a senior policy analyst (ooh-la-la, sounds fancy, huh?) with the Lt. Governor of IL - Pat Quinn, who is a dedicated advocate for military servicemembers and their families. He's bringing Danny on board to invigorate his current military initiatives as well as develop new ones. We will likely be leaving Heidelberg in early-to-mid November. So, for all you Chi-towners, we really appreciate all the insight and help you can give us! We're really excited about it, and because my parents, Danny's parents, and then my brother are coming out here in phases (from August 29-Oct 13), we will have plenty of help. And since Bree (Danny's sister) and Sean are due in early Dec., we'll be home to greet their little peanut into the world.
As for the pics: (1) me pointing to my German doctor's name - Dr. Klapp (Dr. Syphilis was on vacation in Bulgaria) (2) I am 34 weeks in the brown shirt (3) I am 36 weeks in the red shirt (4) we learned how to swaddle a baby so Danny decided to practice on Alf - he's a pro! (5) Danny in the OBGYN clinic with a preggo lady on his shoulder, kinda funny (6) the shrunk filled with fun gifts from all of you - thank you so much!! (7) a babycake made by cousins Chels & Boo Boo (8) an Addy hat and espadrilles from Kev & Lise's trip to Spain - muchas gracias (9) from L to R: homemade quilts from Jenny (friend from Danny's work), my Aunt Raeleen, and cousin Boo Boo.
The next posting will probably be the baby!!!!!

Holy Scheize - nine months! Wow, time really does fly. Anyway, you look awesome. Danny looks good with Alf as well.
Stacey, you look fantastic...the belly is ADORABLE! And Danny, way to go with swaddling ALF. Very impressive. We can't believe you're 9 months already. Can't wait for Addy to get here (and for you guys to get HERE!). We love you all!
Bree, Sean, Peanut & Chewy
You look great! Thanks for including us in the emails. Can't wait to see all three of you. Now that you'll be in Chicago, we'll be able to see you when we visit Sean and Bree. Congratulations on the job Danny.
Love to all three of you, V.J. & Dave
