17 Weeks

I am now 4 months along. Wow!!! Just for kicks I thought I would post a pic of my ever growing belly. Today one little girl told me that my stomach is big... Still not what I want to hear. I haven't gained much weight, it just seems to be rearranging itself. Looks like I will need to be busting out the maternity tops soon! I am already loving my maternity bottoms.



Pre-pregnancy in Stillwater, OK this summer.




8 weeks after our first doctor appointment.



17 weeks before going to see Sweeney Todd.

Lost Maples

Aaron and I went camping at Lost Maples this weekend. I bought Aaron a tent last Christmas and we had not yet used it!!! It was time to do it before I got too big to sleep on the ground.

It was a very exciting trip because it was our first family trip with Buddy. We found that if you wear Buddy out by hiking for 2 hours, he will do a great job camping!!!

Lost Maples is in the middle of the Hill Country close to Kerrville. It is so amazing that it can be so beautiful in the state of Texas. We went this weekend so that we could see some of the fall foliage. It was really cool to see leaves that are actually not only doo-doo brown.

The drive was amazing. I miss seeing hills and it's been awhile since I have been on any roads that have steep grade signs. One of the roads is apparently a really fun drive for motorcycles and convertibles because there was a photographer out there taking pics.

Aaron saw his first bison on the trip and it was unbelievable the number of deer that we say. It's also fun to see the goats that people have in their yards.

Here is a link to Aaron's website so that you can see the pics of the trip. It would just take way to long to upload all the pics!!!

16 Week Checkup




We went to the doctor today and had our 16 week checkup. Everything is moving right along. I appear to be right on track at 16 weeks. The babies heartbeat was really strong today and that was wonderful to hear. Last time (12 week appointment) the placenta was in front so it was tough to hear and we had to do a sonogram to make sure that everything was normal.

We have our sonogram in 3 weeks and at the next regular appointment we will be halfway there. I cannot believe it!!! This pregnancy is flying by and it is still a little surreal to me. I am looking a little pregnant. I promise to post some pics soon.

Right now our little peanut is about the size of one of my favorite foods, an avocado. =)

Hopefully in the next month or so we will be painting the baby's room. YAY!! A nice and neutral yellow.
