20 weeks!

The day has arrived!!! 

We have been waiting patiently and full of excitement to see you again. The weeks have felt long but your little kicks let us know you are in there. 

The technician asked right away if we wanted to know the sex- Yes!

She checked all your parts to make sure you were developing properly. 

At 20 weeks you were measuring 13.4 cm, you weigh 13 oz with a heartbeat of 141 BPM.

Your knees were bent and almost touching your face. 

You gave us a peak at your face. 

Sweet but scary looking.

We saw your two little feet and a hand.

And there it was...the boy part. 

I wish I could explain the happiness on my husband's face when he found out we were having a boy. The love of my life is going to raise our son to be just like him.

Someone pinch me from this amazing dream come true.

A little bit of sunshine feels good on the growing belly during this beautiful fall weekend.

Callie and I enjoyed the backyard while the soon-to-be Dad cleaned up all the fallen leaves and Callie's #2s scatter throughout the yard.

We are enjoying these last months of spoiling Callie before her duty as guard dog begins. 

Only 1 more week until we find out if you are a girl or boy!

18 weeks

Someone has been extra snuggly this week.

I have a feeling Callie knows that she going to be a big sister.

 She has been baking the baby to keep him/her warm.

Enjoy this quiet time now before you we all get no sleep.

Darcy and Chris get hitched!

Everyone's favorite girl got married!

A beautiful venue for an amazing couple.

The ceremony was breathtaking.

The newlyweds enjoying their first dance as husband and wife. 

This was the only slow song of the night.

Just as Darcy and Chris planned the reception was one big party!

Family and friends all together to celebrate the Smiths.

 Photo Booth pictures to capture the night.

So lucky to have spent time with these girls over the past few months.

Even 14 years later after graduate school, marriages & babies we still know how to have a good time.

17 weeks- Happy Fall!!

It's my favorite time of year and this season is even more special with our little pumpkin.

Thankful for a weekend in the DMV full of laughter, home-cooked meals and plenty of rest.

Love you Lola and Lolo!

16 weeks

The belly is growing!

Here I am at 16 weeks rockin' a little bump.

15 weeks

We are so blessed to be pregnant and expecting a child. 

I am officially past my 1st trimester, yippee! It has been a long 3 months of praying and loving on this little baby. Last Saturday I started a new routing of going to the chiropractor first thing the morning and heading over to a prenatal yoga class around noon. 

I owe it to myself and this baby to take care of us. I'll be honest, I haven't been eating very well these past few weeks, I am having an aversion to salads and vegetables. So I have been adding in a few green smoothies to my intake....and a few yummy pop tarts.

The doctor and many friends have recommended that I get at least 30 minutes of cardio a day.

It is tough to get to the gym after a full day of work. These days I would rather lay down and put my feet up.

The baby got a present in the mail! Thank you Mama Livia for the sweet note and baby gear!

Seeing bibs, bath towels and burb clothes are making this pregnancy feel like a reality.

I am looking forward to my 2nd trimester and continuing to be well.
