Pittsburgh!

Our next adventure begins... we arrived in Pittsburgh yesterday for my summer internship at a law firm here. We'll be here until the Fourth of July and then head to Cleveland for a month before returning to Charlottesville.

I finished up my last final a week ago. Since then, we stayed pretty busy getting packed up and cleaning our apartment for the subletters that are coming. Courtney even waxed our car. It looks good! She also had a doctor's appointment two days ago. Everything is good with the baby. We got to hear the heartbeat for the first time. The doctor said it had a "boy's heartrate" of 142. That's an old wives' tale, of course, but I hear that it's accurate about 50% of the time.

The drive up to Pittsburgh went pretty well. We made a couple stops, including a longer one at a park to eat lunch. Luke seemed to appreciate that. He has been just off the wall excited since we got here. I think it's because of all the stairs... we go up a flight of stairs to get to our apartment, and then our apartment itself is two stories.

Luke just loves being outdoors now. He goes over to the door wanting to go outside practically the minute he wakes up in the morning. To him, the only purpose of being inside seems to be to eat and sleep. Otherwise, he doesn't understand why we aren't just always outside.
