OFF to the BEACH!!!

Jacob took the boys to the beach today...for the first time in swim suits I might add and they had a really good time! They told me they loved the sand more than the water...but Jacob also said the water was cold. I am excited to go with them next weekend when my mom is here!

Here is a video for your enjoyment :)

15 weeks...and FINALLY feeling GREAT! :)

I am so excited that I have finally turned the corner! Whew...the 1st trimester is a hard one! :) We've had friends here from Ohio for the past few days and it has been so nice to actually ENJOY that time with them, instead of laying around trying to not feel yucky!! My mom comes on Thursday...and I am OVERJOYED!! I can NOT wait to HUG HER NECK!! :) She is such a blessing to me!!

So cheers to feeling great...here's a 15 week picture...and YES that IS me rocking another MereDee Design!! :) (My friend Meredith is so talented...and such a blessing for sending this with our friends so I could look super cute preggie :) xxoo Mer!)

Goodbye Nausea....HELLO...Bump?

Well today marks Day 1 of the 2nd Trimester! I can't tell you how excited I am to FINALLY say that! The 1st trimester is never really my favorite part...and I am happy to say it is behind me! What I guess I didn't expect, or remember, is that with the 2nd Trimester comes the belly. Not that I'm showing too much...but with Lucas I didn't even think about maternity clothing until 20 weeks. And with Jack I guess it was about the same time...but I was much smaller at the same time! (I even wore the same shirt to prove it!)
All the same, I'm glad to be growing, because that means little baby is too!

Lucas is getting excited as he asks a lot if he can hold the baby in my belly...and I keep telling him he can, when it's time. Jack says "baby" and he is practicing the names which are Katie if it's a girl and Isaac if it's a boy. He can say Katie but he calls Isaac Ike-y and I think it's adorable :)

So here's to the 2nd trimester...may it go smoothly! :) Baby is due 12-11-13.
