NY Baby Shower

Renee, Sarah, Avery and I had a great time in NY! It was Sarah and Avery's first time on a plane and they both seemed to love it. Especially Sarah, she said she would like to jump out using a parachute with her Daddy.

Memere and Pepere drove from Massachusetts for the shower, it was so nice to see them!!! Thank you Memere and Pepere, I hope you had a safe trip home.



Thanks Mom for hosting the shower, the food was delicious & it was so nice to see everyone!

Memere and Pepere knitted 3 sweaters and a hat for the baby, and they are gorgeous!


Jason and I love all of the baby gifts, thank you everyone! I'm sure our little one will enjoy them too! She is doing great, her heart rate was 152 bpm this past Monday and she's growing right on schedule. She loves to move around and kick me at night when I sit down to relax.

It was great to see everyone! Thank you so much!!!

20 week baby belly

Here is the 20 week baby belly.... seems like it's getting very big to me!

Weston Trip, Sarah's Birthday, Anniversary

We finally made it to Tennessee to visit the Weston's new house. We missed out on seeing Jaden play soccer because of the weather but we did get to see the chicks hatching. Very cool! Pretty soon the Weston's won't be buying eggs at the store.



Here are a few picture from Sarah's 6th birthday party. She had a very special princess cake that her Mommy made for her, delicious! Happy Birthday SARAH!


Jason and I went to the NC mountains for our anniversary. I could not believe how many Christmas tree farms they have out there. It's amazing!

Here we are after climbing Mt. Jefferson, the trail was about 1.5 miles. I can't believe how much harder it is to exercise when you are pregnant. I was huffing and puffing on every hike!
This is our hike to Linville Falls, it was fun and Millie got a lot of attention. She tried to jump the rock wall you see behind us. Luckily she was on a leash!


This is a picture we took from the Sugar Mountain ski lift. It was a long way up, it took over an hour round trip. There were really nice views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Millie had a great time at the cabin she had no fear of running full speed and jumping in the New River!

We're having a GIRL!

The wait is over! We are having a baby girl! The doctor said she looks very healthy, we are so happy to hear that. Her heart rate was 141 bpm, she's approx. 11 oz, and 6 inches long. She's our little butterball turkey.

Here she is all curled up... just 19 weeks old.

17 weeks

We saw the doctor on Monday, everyone is healthy. The baby's heart rate was 150 which is strong. Our next appointment is October 1st... finally we will be able to find out if we are having a boy or a girl. I can't wait, I'm counting down the days!

At 17 weeks, this is a description of what is going on with the baby:
Your baby's skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone, and the umbilical cord — her lifeline to the placenta — is growing stronger and thicker. Your baby weighs 5 ounces now (about as much as a turnip), and she's around 5 inches long from head to bottom. She can move her joints, and her sweat glands are starting to develop.
