In A Snap

Caught a cute pic of Takota the other day and thought I would share:Good thing I had the camera handy! Isn't he just the sweetest?

26 Weeks

26 weeks pregnant and getting close to the end of my 2nd trimester. Our baby should now measure around 14 inches long and weigh around 1 pound and 2/3s. Nerves in ears are more developed and Baby B is starting to inhale small amounts of amniotic fluid to prepare lungs for breathing in air. Also, still putting on the baby fat.

On a short little stay-cation. However, it's a working stay-cation. Trying to get everything ready for the move back east. Starting to get a little overwhelmed with all that has to be done. Wish I was decorating a nursery instead of cleaning out clutter and getting ready to pack boxes. So much to do, so little time. It will all be worth it once we get there. Just a few more weeks! Then there will be lots of unpacking... ugh. After that however... a little R&R! And with the move behind us... joy. And then a little bundle of joy! I think I'd feel a little better tonight if I had more accomplished towards prep for the move. Just have to knock things off of the list one at a time. (I never was really great at the whole being patient thing...)

Give The Girl A Set Of Headphones!

A few nights ago, Matt plopped down on the sofa with me and placed his head in my lap. He had his headphones on, and was listening to music. I guess our baby girl could hear the tunes because she started squirming and wiggling and kicking and rolling across my stomach. I think she loved listening to all the different beats! She kept bopping Matt upside his head in rhythm. Too cute!

Another Belly Pic

Matt and I went down to Monterey on Friday the 28th of May for a little visit. We enjoyed being near the ocean, and eating at our favorite little Mexican restaurant, Zocalo's, in Pacific Grove. Drove past our old house... took a few pictures along the way. The above photo was taken after we got back home that evening. In this pic, I am 24 weeks and 4 days preggo. And as of today, I have gained a total of 18 pounds! Wahoo!

Nine

Nine is a very special number for me today. This number, the number nine, signifies the amount of days I have left to work during the month of June. I am very happy thinking of the number nine, and how it will quickly become eight, and then seven... so on and so forth. I cannot wait to put California behind me. I cannot wait to embrace life on the east coast once again! Carolina, I am coming home!

Pics From Memorial Day BBQ

Matt and I had a wonderful time on Memorial Day! Went to a BBQ at the Hospitality House! These are just a few pics of the two of us...

Good News, Good News!

Just in case you haven't heard the word, I have good news! One month from today my husband and I will be driving back east! I cannot wait to live on the east coast again! Also, within the one month time-frame, I should only have 10 working days left... if all goes well...

In other good news, I am now in my 25th week of pregnancy! Our baby girl should measure around 13.5 inches long from head to toe and should weigh around 1.5 pounds. Also, she should start to plump up now and the wrinkles in her skin (from being so lean) should start to smooth out. And if we could take a peek at her... we would be able to see the color and texture of her hair. So exciting! Only 15 weeks to go! Wow-zers!

Oh, and keep your eyes peeled for pictures. I will try to post some new belly shots and photos from our Memorial Day BBQ by the end of the week.
