End of September!

On the last day of September, I've put together a rather random group of photos to share... :)

Enjoy!

Here's one of Bill with Triton and Lexi - dogs we met at a baby shower for Daisy Patterson - huge dogs, that Bill just couldn't resist!

Here is Michelle and me at the Daisy shower

Our pile of baby clothes is getting bigger... :)
Thanks to everyone who's added to our pile!
(yes, yes, I realize we'll need to keep adding...)


I see FALL in the top left part of this tree - YAY!

They let us out 2 hours early today from school

because of flooding, and potential high winds... :-D I love Maryland...!

Women's Conference

I went away for the weekend for a Women's Conference with my sister's church on the 18th and 19th of the month.

Here is a picture of Alison and I ~

End of five months

Week 22... the end of month five!

Doctor's appointment went well today. Here are some "stats" about the pregnancy so far...

How far along: 22 weeks, 4 days :)

Baby's heart rate: 150 (right where it should be) and the nurse said it was "nice and strong"

Total weight gain: 11 pounds

Sleep: doing well - no worries there, and bring on the pillows!!!

Bellybutton: popping out a little ... yikes!

Food cravings: I wouldn't be surprised if this baby boy is addicted to peanut butter and ice cream... yum....

Labor Signs: um... NO. Not yet!

[thanks to my friend Heather M. who posted this same list about her pregnancy on their blog - trying to keep the family in the loop!! :)]

no video

Yikes... the video just doesn't transfer so well onto the computer screen - oh well! :)

Had a very relaxing weekend and it's off to work tomorrow! Doctor's appointment on Tuesday - I'll update you again then! :)

Sonogram Stuff

Happy Birthday Mom Barton! :)

here are our sonogram pictures to share with you... I tried my best to "label" them...

This one shows his "boy parts" and a leg

This one is also of the "boy parts"


This is a bottom view of the foot

This is a profile view - you can see his little nose and forhead, chin and lips

This is a "4-D" showing his face and his hands covering his mouth

Here is one with the eyes, nose, and mouth

I've got a video to upload as well... Look back in a little while!

Weekends

Before I posted the 'real' stuff... I realized I needed to include a 20 week picture... because I said I would! :) Halfway to meeting our baby!!! I am starting to feel movement during the day (it used to be just a night if I was laying on my back) and that's kinda neat. We're also working on ideas for the nursery - so far we've got fish/nautical theme, or 'camping'/outdoors theme....

okay, now for the "weekends" post!

Bill and I love weekends... especially when we're visiting with family and friends!

The 20-22 of August, we did a cousin camping trip to Bald Eagle State Park near State College, PA. We enjoyed good food and good company!

On the 28th of August, we had a 'reunion' of sorts here at our house for the intramural team that Bill played on at Geneva. There were 4 couples who made it out to our house. The guys spent some time outside throwing the football around, and the girls catching up about what has been going on in our lives since we left Geneva five years ago!

This weekend we enjoyed a quick visit with Michelle on Friday night and Saturday morning - and then a visit with my grandmas and parents for the day on Saturday.

We got a group shot before they left. :)

Happy Labor Day Weekend!!!
