4 month appointment

We had our four month appointment today and everything went great.  We heard the heart beat again - 140 bpm.  Next month is the BIG appointment where we will finally get another ultrasound.  It is an important appointment because they take measurements of everything and check the growth progress and all that.  It should be exciting!!!  

We had a good Fourth - we floated the river then everyone came back here for a bbq.  Florence puts on a firework show that is pretty impressive so we went and watched that too.  Fun times!

Here's Henry chompin' on some watermelon.

Ok first and most importantly - what is going to happen next week when I run out of fingers to show how many weeks I am?  I guess I could always write it down and hold it up but that seems boring.... hmmm... suggestions?    I went to Motherhood today and bought my summer maternity clothes.  Its frustrating to have a closet full of clothes you love that you can't wear anymore.....  summer is my favorite clothes season!!!  Oh well, I really like what I bought today so all is good.  Anyway - here are the pics for the week! (and yes, I did try extra hard to make the first one as ugly as possible =) )

We started working on laying the stones for the pathway yesterday.  It will be so nice when we are finally finished with the backyard!!!! Tyler does most of the hard work but I try and help whenever I can!  =)

Here are this weeks pics.  I started wearing my maternity capris this week and I don't know why I waited this long!  They are SO comfortable.  I have a new respect for all things elastic! =)

On another note, Tyler and I went to Yellowstone last weekend.  It was awesome!! 

We saw lots of bison and elk.

A mamma moose with her new baby...

A grizzly bear!!! (I named him Michael.)

Many beautiful waterfalls...
And even Old Faithful!!

It was a great trip even though it was a short one.  We can't wait to go back!!!

Week 13 belly pics

Ok - so you will just have to pretend that the 31 is really a 13 in this picture.  Apparently my expert photographer and I were a bit too tired or maybe dyslexic to realize that we had that backwards.  Oooops!  Oh well, you still get the point. 

Still feeling pretty well - sleeping and eating a lot and craving sweets.  Sweets is another sign that we are having a girl.  We will see!!!

12 week appointment update

Today Tyler and I went for our 12 week appointment.  I woke up barfing for the second time this pregnancy so I was pretty sure everything was still going as planned.  The appointment was great but we did not get to do an ultrasound.  Our next one won't be until 20 weeks.  Our doctor says he will do the necessary amount to keep the cost down but will do some fun ones too which we won't have to pay for.  We did get to hear the heartbeat though with the doppler.  It took him a minute or so to find it and I was FREAKING OUT!  Eventually, he could pick up my heartbeat on it and then a few seconds later he found the baby's.  It was 170 bpm.  He said mine was 110 because I was so nervous when he couldn't find it right away!!  Dr. Burke said things are looking just perfect for this stage of the game and our chance of miscarriage is now down to 2%!!  I actually am feeling like this is really going to happen now!  Whoo hoo!!!

I will post 12 week belly pics tomorrow.  I feel like I've grown a lot these past few weeks.  I think I am at that in between stage where people are thinking... is she pregnant or does she just have a really big gut??  Hopefully they are thinking the first!
