21 Weeks 2 Days

Here are pictures from today! I am scanning ultrasound pictures which I will put up as I get them on my computer. I have definitely grown, as has little Joshua. Today, Cassie, Elizabeth and Abby came to visit so Eddie and I headed over to my parents house to see them. At the moment, Abby has made a new game of peeking her head out from behind a wall and saying bye bye, then running away before returning again. Last week Eddie and I went to the fair with my parents, Cassie, and the girls which was a lot of fun. I think my favorite part was watching the girls play the games and see all of the farm animals. And the barbecued corn on the cob. That was another favorite. I also realized that I can no longer walk in flip flops for long periods of time. My feet were hurting so badly when we left the fair. I suspect it has something to do with my weight gain so far. I am enjoying feeling Joshua kick and move around more and more each day. I can't wait til Eddie can feel him moving too!

Close Up!

Pictures from 17 Weeks

We've been a little behind on the pictures, but I am going to try to get some of them on here today. So these pictures are actually from 17 weeks and 6 days, basically almost 18 weeks. I was very excited to finally be showing. Eddie had been asking me to take pictures of my growing belly to post on here and I am not biggest fan of pictures so I kept putting it off, but finally at this point I thought my belly was noticeable, so I agreed. Eddie and I met up with his parents on Memorial Day at Lake Murray and fed some of the ducks. It was one of the first really warm days that we had at the end of May. My first taste of what a pregnant summer might feel like: hot and sweaty.

It was really windy 

Hair tucked in place. Much better.

It's a Boy!!!

Just went to Kaiser on Thursday. Little Joshua is doing great. He weighed in at 10 ounces and is right on schedule for November 1st. He is currently staying in shape and getting stronger through a regular swim regiment and tumbling. Mommy can feel him moving quite often and is making sure that he gets plenty of hamburgers packed with high protein to fuel all of his exercise. Pictures coming soon....
