HAPPY NEW YEAR!
The baby is definitely growing...and so is my belly! Here is my most recent profile shot.

Ryan and I went to the Weekend to Remember conference this weekend in Estes Park. We really enjoyed it. I recommend it to all you married people out there. We stayed at the Stanley Hotel which was kind of cool (minus the fact that they play The Shining on repeat in all the rooms. That movie kind of creeps me out... it's scary!) Here's some photos of us in front of the hotel.
We got new bouncy seat from Kirk and Annie - thanks so much for the gift you guys. Once Ryan put it together I decided to test it out with a teddy bear. (I forced him to be in the picture, ha).
Here's a new profile shot. Does my belly seem a little pointy to you?

Sunday was my 27th birthday. It's hard to believe that this is the last birthday I'll ever have without being a Mommy. Kind of crazy to think about huh? Next year we'll have a 8 month old! I think the coolest thing I got for my birthday was a cowbell from my wonderful husband. I know it's kind of a random gift, but still VERY cool. I also got the Cherish - Expecting Mother Willow Tree figurine from my mom and dad which I love.

Sunday was a pretty exciting day for us: Mom's birthday AND the Denver Half Marathon. Ryan and my dad both ran the race and did great! I was so proud of them. My friend Angela (who I ran the half marathon with me back in June) also ran, but she decided to take it to the next level this time and run the full marathon. Running your first marathon is really hard, but she was a rock star and finished in under five hours which is awesome! To top it all off, it was a beautiful day which made it really fun to walk around and cheer on all the runners.
I'm not the best photographer, but here are the photos I got of my dad and Ryan running.

Is it just me, or does it seem like these foods are decreasing in size? Is a tomato really bigger than a bell pepper? I guess I don't eat heirloom tomatoes that often so I'm not really sure.
So the big news this week... Baby Volk is a Girl!
She really wasn't very cooperative during the ultrasound - she never really opened her legs so we could see her girl parts - but the ultrasound lady said that's what she saw, and I figure she's probably done this a few gazillion times, so I'm talking her word for it! We also got to see all her other little parts, head, brain, abdomen, kidneys, arms, legs, feet, umbilical cord, etc. As far as we could tell everything looks good. Unfortunately, before we were able to see the doctor he got called out for a delivery so we had to reschedule that appointment for later this week. It was kind of a bummer we couldn't meet with him, but at the same time, it's nice to know that he'll drop everything to be at a delivery, so come February, we should be set.
We went back and saw the doctor on Tuesday and he said everything looks good with our little girl. Yea God! I'm still amazed that such a little human is alive inside of me. How can you see those little hands and feet and not believe in God? I just don't get it.
We also got our first little girl gift this week - little pink booties! They are so darn cute. Here's a photo of the proud poppa-to-be showing them off.

Annie keeps telling me that I need to keep taking profile shots, so I decided I better start listening. It's not exactly my best angle, but here you go:
