week 16

But really, 4 months sounds further along, right? haha

Mom went with me to our 16 week doctors appointment this week, and started crying when she got to her the baby's heartbeat for the first time. We got the test results back from the NT scan and all of my blood-work was in so they spent a lot of time going over everything with us. 

 Momma and Baby are still looking really healthy and we are so thankful for that. 

The meeting with the nutritionist was not as bad as I had made it out to be in my head...

for some reason I had this lady pegged to be a green eyed monster that was going to yell at me for gaining/not gaining weight for eating/not eating this or that, but she was really nice and really helpful.

Yea for 16 weeks! 

and yea for maybe feeling baby move inside me. maybe.

cupcake Push-ups!

mmmmm....

I'm totally on a peach binge right now. I want peach ice cream, peach muffins, and just plain 'ol peaches. So I thought I would add a few to some graduation cupcake push-ups I was making for a friend who is graduating with her masters this weekend!

We are so proud of you Christine!!

I took a few extra pictures, because I don't know that I've posted any push-ups here before. 

I think you'll get the idea. The inspiration for the graduation caps came from Celebrations at home 

(I found them on pinterest.)

Monday Randoms...

the hubs BFF is now daddy to an outside baby!

Tony & Christine welcomed their adorable little nuggett into the world early.

Sweet baby wanted to have a June birthday instead of July. I bet mommy is happy to be un-pregnant in this heat. We are still sending up prayers till baby gets to come home from NICU. 

So very excited for them!

this one is double duty.

getting pumped up about my Godson's Superhero 3rd birthday this weekend!

not getting pumped about the baby being 3... let's just get that straight.

Also, can we please be done with the "keep calm" signs. Thanks, Pam

I'm thinking about cutting my bangs...

::sigh::

then I think about all the bobby pins I'll have to use when 2 seconds later I decide to grow them back out. Why do I torture myself like this!?! But really, I think I'm going to. Maybe.

as we start to make some room around here for the baby we realized that we are going to need to do some major purging. We have an office full of old stuff belonging to the hubs, and a guest room full of stuff belonging to me. We gotta merge and turn the guest room into the baby room. I think we are going to start moving some stuff out of the office this weekend. say a little prayer.

Week 15

I can't believe we are almost 16 weeks pregnant!

Time has been going so quickly and so slowly at the same time...

I've been doing a "bump project" to see how my belly changes as the pregnancy progresses...

these are so popular right now, and I love the idea of being able to have special notes about each week that I may have otherwise forgotten.

So far I have not gained any weight, this is pretty much what I already looked like, 

but I know in the next few weeks it is bound to change...

Happy Friday!

Yesterday felt like the weekend....

working retail means days off during the week.

But, since the hubs works a regular monday-friday job we rarely have days off together.

Yesterday he took the day off to play some golf with his friends

(so jealous of the school teachers that are soaking up summer right now).

I hit the pool with my favorites

Jackson got this new swim float from his bobby and he was swimming like a big boy.

It was my first pool day with them this year, so it was really fun to see how much more confident he was in the water and at the pool this year. He's gonna be a little fish in no time.

After pool time we went back to ra's...

I spent about 3 hours a while admiring the new stripes they painted... 

you've got to go see them. It's like straight from a magazine! I am so in love.

Before dinner we hit up Brian & Brandy's house to shoot our guns.

I love the home-made targets we were shooting at. (one was a hand drawn picture of a pedifile. who wouldn't want to shoot that!) Here's the boys being all manly, Christine and I (8 months, and 15 weeks pregnant respectively) sat mostly patiently and waited. Then we all went to olive garden.

::sigh:: delish.

although it FELT like the weekend yesterday, it sadly was not. 

The hubs and I are back at work today. boo.
