My favorite...

This is my favorite picture of me and Drew. It was taken by my sister the day after our wedding in the florida keys. We are tired and happy. Very very happy.

16 weeks

Today I am 16 weeks pregnant. The baby is now about the size of an avocado. The baby can grasp with its hands, kick and somersault. Muscles are developing and the baby can now make faces…squint and frown. A growth spurt is coming. The baby will double its weight in the next few weeks. Grow baby grow.

Great Dane Meet up

This weekend we took Mr. Marlow to a great dane meet up. This one was held on Rex Butterfield's property on Lake Travis. The home was amazingly beautiful and there was a ton of space for all the puppies to run around. Marlow loves playing in the water but is a big weenie and won't go very deep. Drew convinced him to jump off the dock and swin with him in the deeper water, but he DID NOT like it. Marlow ignored us for about 10 minutes afterward because he was so angry. Puppy does not like to swim. Marlow was so tuckered he slept the whole way home with his face propped against my seat. I love my big baby.

Barnes and Noble stole my money...

I went to Barnes and Noble on my lunch break and splurged a little. Two new books for summer reading, and the last picture is this little pocket sized blank book with colored pencils that I can throw in my purse. They also had a new Cook's Illustrated and Lucky mag. Hooray!

two blue peas

My friend Dana introduced me to a really cool website for new mommies, www.babble.com. On that website I found a link to a store that has some REALLY cute baby stuff, www.twobluepeas.com. Look at those tiny elephant feet. The hippo is one of those hooded towels that kids always look so cute in. I love that damn hippo

15 weeks

Today our baby is 15 weeks old. We went to the doctor for a check up and the heartbeat was strong. I love hearing the heartbeat. I feel 10 million times better. I think it is safe to say that morning sickness is behind me (hooray). I am now ready to enjoy the honeymoon phase of my pregnancy. The honeymoon phase is the phase in-between morning sickness and being uncomfortably rotund.

The baby should be about 4 inches long now. Its taste buds are forming, and it supposedly spends most of its day practicing inhaling and exhaling. The doctor said I should start being able to feel movement within a week or so. I’m really anxious for that first feeling. We will find out the sex on the morning of June 24th (woohoo!).

My Birthday Girls...

Two of my best friends in the whole wide world were born today. Happy Birthday Michelle and Lola! I love you guys and hope you have a wonderful thirtieth (welcome to the club). I wish all us girls could be together, have a slumber party, and eat cake mix like the old times. I miss you like crazy. XOXOXOX
