Hey there!  Long time no post, my apologies for that!  Matt's been out of town and I've been SUPER busy! Since the reveal party we have been working on getting the boat sea-worthy, keeping the yard and house up to standards.  Starting to plan out the nursery (mostly in my head).  Got registries taken care of.  Not to mention I've taken some time to catch up with some friends by phone and in person.  My apologies and I hope to not have such a lapse in entries from now on.  First of all a few pictures from the party the other week! :)

It's a...

All the people who were guessing we were having a little boy!

All the people who were guessing we were having a little girl!

...girl!

We truly had such a great time celebrating the beginning of a wonderful summer and the little *girl* we're having in September with so many of our loved ones!  I wish everyone could have been there, but it just wasn't realistic, and I'm glad you could enjoy from afar.  Next up are a few pictures of a wedding we went to this past weekend for a couple we care dearly for!

Starting the ceremony.

Best picture of the day!  Seals it with a kiss, and Susan was on the phone...Glenn gave her "the look"

22 weeks and 4 days. :)

Myself along with the beautiful bride! 

It's been a crazy few weeks, but I'm definitely preparing for life to only get wilder.  Bear with me if there are more gaps in the blog...I PROMISE I will be doing my best to update close to every week!

Now to the week of the:  Grapefruit! :)

Turn on the radio and sway to the music. With her sense of movement well developed by now, your baby can feel you dance. And now that she's more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound (about as much as a grapefruit), you may be able to see her squirm underneath your clothes. Blood vessels in her lungs are developing to prepare for breathing, and the sounds that your baby's increasingly keen ears pick up are preparing her for entry into the outside world. Loud noises that become familiar now — such as your dog barking or the roar of the vacuum cleaner — probably won't faze her when she hears them outside the womb. (From babycenter.com)


How Far Along: 23 Weeks Days

Total Weight Gain: No gain since last dr's appointment so still 4 lbs down from original weight.

Best Moments This Week: Having Matt home to try feeling for Abigail's movements.

Gender: GIRL! (So long as everything stays the same!)

Movement: Holy active! Abigail seems to move most around 9am, noon and 4pm. Such an exciting time!

Food Craving: Peanut butter and Chipotle are my cravings so far. Definitely opening a new craving for chocolate. I'll have to watch that one! :)

Sleep: Hopefully better now that Matt'll be home for the week! :)

What I am Looking Forward To: Matt knowing he's feeling Abigail move. He's pretty sure, but not 100% sure yet.

Symptoms: Back pain has continued, so I'm just accepting that it will be around for the duration. Otherwise definitely showing more. It's exciting people are recognizing that I'm pregnant not just fat. ;)

I'm off for now but I'll update as we continue this great journey!  Love you all!
